Drug kingpin lifestyle

Some interesting pictures here - take the estimated amounts of cash with a grain of salt.

Quite the pimp gun collection.

I guess until your caught maybe crime does pay. As far as his guns were concerned, I would rather have a vault full of old Winchesters and Colt SAA's, but then again I'm sort of old fashioned.

The money (and the health care costs) estimates are way off.

The pimp guns have no real collector value, except for the notoriety of the owner, like Saddam's.

Lots of hyperbole there.

From the article:

"These people have so much money, they make the Arab oil sheiks look like welfare recipients. Their money can buy politicians, cops, judges, whatever they need they just throw down stacks of cash and it is theirs! This is why the drug problem is so difficult to fight."

Yup, that about sums it up. Just like every man has his limit, every man has his price. It's just a matter of 1) finding it, and 2) affording it.
