Never Die Alone by Donald Goines

Never Die Alone by Donald Goines is one of my favorite books. Goines is a master of the visual, gritty drug infested street life. A world that I have more than a passing knowledge of. And with Goines it is always based on a true story.

Keep in mind, Donald Goines wrote 16 novels in 5 years. Goines himself kept it moving in this world of the urban street as he was a hustler, Pimp and heroin addict. A perspective that gives him uncanny authority and authenticity to write about it.

Buy Never Die Alone by Donald Goines

Never Die Alone’s “hero” is King David, the coldest cat in all of literature. And when I say “coldest cat” I mean cold, like dry ice on the South Pole. Close to pure Evil.

King David, sharp dressed and Caddy driving, is also one of the original East Coast-West Coast G’s. Villainous. And Poisonous.

A must read for all up and coming G’s. They should also make this a must read for schools to keep kids out of the Drug Game.

Sinister. Like Battery Acid in a hot shot.

“Too hard to follow, you took a bite but couldn’t swallow.
Your mind’s boggled, but I’m as deep as Donald Goines novels”

Cocaine Traffickers Submarines Semi-Submersibles

Thanks to The Dinnertime Bandit for sending me this:

Squat, bull-necked and sullen-looking, Enrique Portocarrero hardly seems a dashing character out of a Jules Verne science fiction novel.

But law enforcement officers here have dubbed him “Captain Nemo,” after the dark genius of “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.” They say the 45-year-old has designed and built as many as 20 fiberglass submarines, strange vessels with the look of sea creatures, for drug traffickers to haul cocaine from this area of southern Colombia to Central America and Mexico.

Capping a three-year investigation that involved U.S. and British counter-narcotics agents, Colombia’s FBI equivalent, the Department of Administrative Security, arrested Portocarrero last month in the violent port city of Buenaventura, where he allegedly led a double life as a shrimp fisherman.

A day later, they descended on Portocarrero’s hidden “shipyard” in a mangrove swamp 20 miles south of here and destroyed two of the vessels, which police say were each capable of carrying 8 tons of cargo.

“He had a marvelous criminal vision,” Colombian navy Capt. Luis German Borrero said. “He introduced innovations such as a bow that produced very little wake, a conning tower that rises only a foot above the water and a valve system that enables the crew to scuttle the sub in 10 minutes. He is very ingenious.”

Authorities say they know little about Portocarrero except that he was arrested in 2003 on drug charges and soon released, a fact he relayed with a smirk when he was nabbed last month. Most important, he once worked at a dry dock in Buenaventura, where he apparently learned his craft.

Portocarrero was living well. Police, who reported finding $200,000 hidden in the spare tire of his car, say he had invested his reputed $1-million-per-vessel fees in the purchase of five shrimp boats.

Q-Tip – Move

Bernard Madoff: The World’s Biggest Ever Heist

I was a little slow on this one. I have been spending time going to charity events, donating toys for kids, and seeing nightclubs with no one stepping to Bottle Service. And swooping a fly Chilanga Mexican girl. All of which makes me happy.

Anyway, here it is:

“I still can’t quite get my head around the enormity of the numbers in the Madoff case. For one thing,

Madoff’s investment advisory business served between 11 and 25 clients and had a total of about $17.1 billion in assets under management.

Now that’s what I call high net worth individuals! And then you read the indictment, and you think you know what to expect, until:

On Dec. 10, 2008, Madoff informed the Senior Employees, in substance, that his investment advisory business was a fraud. Madoff stated that he was “finished,” that he had “absolutely nothing,” that “it’s all just one big lie,” and that it was “basically, a giant Ponzi scheme. Madoff stated that the business was insolvent, and that it had been for years. Madoff also stated that he estimated the losses from this fraud to be at least approximately $50 billion.

Yep, $50 billion. In other words, that $17.1 billion is only the beginning: presumably Madoff’s clients had invested much more than that, and Madoff was sending statements to them, on the one hand, while reporting different numbers to the SEC, on the other — none of which were true.

If the total losses are really $50 billion, that means that the average loss to Madoff’s clients is a minimum of $2 billion, and perhaps as much as $4.5 billion. After all, in a Ponzi scheme, everybody comes out fine, except the last people out: the 11 to 25 clients still with Madoff to this day.

The one thing this does do is get me a little bit more comfortable with Jeffrey Epstein’s business plan of managing billionaires’ money. Clearly there are actually quite a lot of people with a few billion dollars to invest and who feel perfectly comfortable entrusting it to individuals like Madoff and Epstein. Who knew?

Right now, there are a handful people whose world has suddenly been turned upside-down: who have, overnight, suddenly lost billions of dollars of dynastic wealth to a Wall Street con man. I’m sure that their names will appear sooner or later. But there really is no precedent that I can think of: when has one man ever managed to steal $50 billion dollars? If the $100 million Harry Winston heist in Paris was the “steal of the century”, what’s this?”

I have said it before, that G’s and heistmen don’t make the long coin these days. It’s the “tech crims”. It’s the Bankers. It’s the Politicians. It’s the Lawyers. They are the real crooks.

Sometimes I feel like I am being hustled only knowing half the Game.

But my crew hanging with the Wu-Tang Clan, sitting ringside watching Manny Pacquiao destroy Oscar De La Hoya
, and swooping the above mentioned Chilanga has softened the blow.

So to speak.

Big Jewel heist in Paris from Harry Winston’s boutique

A savvy band of jewel thieves, armed with guns and some posing as women, have struck in the heart of the city’s golden triangle of luxury shops, stealing more than €85 million worth of diamonds, rings and watches from a posh Harry Winston boutique.

The brazen $108 million theft Thursday, which some French newspapers quickly branded the heist of the century, reflected a savvy knowledge of the jewelry business, happening during the peak of the holiday season, when jewelry stocks are plentiful.

It was the second time that the boutique on Avenue Montaigne was robbed in the past 14 months and came a little more than a week after Cartier in Paris lost a €635,000 diamond ring to a veiled woman posing as a tourist from Qatar who switched the real gem for a fake.

Robbers in drag steal $100M in jewel heist

The police said that at least four people were involved in the robbery of Harry Winston, which is on a street of deluxe shops near the Champs Élysées that is crowded with boutiques for Chanel, Dior and Gucci. Around closing time at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, the thieves entered and confronted 15 employees. At least two of the robbers were dressed in wigs and women’s clothes, while a fourth accomplice apparently waited outside as the getaway driver, Lévy said.

The boutique has already weathered an earlier audacious robbery of €10 million of goods, in October 2007. At the time, the company offered a €500,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of its diamonds. In April, Harry Winston posted a pre-tax gain of $13.5 million from the settlement of its insurance claim in that earlier robbery.

To date, the record for jewelry theft remains a heist in February 2003, when thieves reaped €100 millions in diamonds from the vaults at Antwerp’s diamond exchange.

All in all a A-.

Points taken away for dressing in drag. Which is only slightly better than dressing in Ed Hardy Shirts.

You should wear custom Savile Row suits on a heist.

Still, not a bad day at the office.

George W. Bush Presidential Pardons 14

(and commutes 2 prison sentences)

President George W. Bush has granted pardons to 14 individuals and commuted the prison sentences of two others convicted of misdeeds ranging from drug offenses to tax evasion, from wildlife violations to bank embezzlement, The Associated Press learned Monday.

Including these actions, he has granted a total of 171 and eight commutations. That’s less than half as many as Presidents Clinton or Reagan issued during their time in office. Both were two-term presidents.

On the latest pardon list were:

Leslie Owen Collier of Charleston, Mo. She was convicted for unauthorized use of a pesticide and violating the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.

Milton Kirk Cordes of Rapid City, S.D. Cordes was convicted of conspiracy to violate the Lacey Act, which prohibits importation into the country of wildlife taken in violation of conservation laws.

Richard Micheal Culpepper of Mahomet, Ill., who was convicted of making false statements to the federal government.

Brenda Jean Dolenz-Helmer of Fort Worth, Texas, for reporting or helping cover up a crime.

Andrew Foster Harley of Falls Church, Va. Harley was convicted of wrongful use and distribution of marijuana and cocaine.

Obie Gene Helton of Rossville, Ga., whose offense was unauthorized acquisition of food stamps.

Carey C. Hice Sr. of Travelers Rest, S.C., who was convicted of income tax evasion.

Geneva Yvonne Hogg of Jacksonville, Fla., convicted of bank embezzlement.

William Hoyle McCright Jr. of Midland, Texas, who was sentenced for making false entries, books, reports or statements to a bank.

Paul Julian McCurdy of Sulphur, Okla., who was sentenced for misapplication of bank funds.

Robert Earl Mohon Jr. of Grant, Ala., who was convicted of conspiracy to distribute marijuana.

Ronald Alan Mohrhoff of Los Angeles, who was convicted for unlawful use of a telephone in a narcotics felony.

Daniel Figh Pue III of Conroe, Texas, convicted of illegal treatment, storage and disposal of a hazardous waste without a permit.

Orion Lynn Vick of White Hall, Ark., who was convicted of aiding and abetting the theft of government property.

Bush also commuted the prison sentences of John Edward Forte of North Brunswick, N.J., and James Russell Harris of Detroit, Mich. Both were convicted of cocaine offenses.

This is always my favorite part of every Presidential term.

I remember President Bill Clinton granted pardons to 456 people, including my personal favorite Marc Rich.

Keep in mind, Clinton was a two term President.
