The money and valuables found in this one house alone, would be enough to pay for health insurance for every man woman and child in the USA for 12 years! It is estimated there are approximately 27 more of these houses in Mexico alone. Not to mention the ones in other countries who are enriching themselves in the drug trade. 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.
.357 Magnum semi-automatics with solid gold grips.
This guy had a better gun collection that most legitimate museums do.
Just a quaint little villa in the hills – Drug money bought it all!
Man-made cave and hot tub inside the home.
A collection of exotic animals – which were cared for in the grandest fashion, by the way.
8 Lions were on the property.
A very rare Tiger.
The back yard pool.
Exotic art collection – some of which was illegal to own – some stolen.
More guns than you could ever imagine!
This pile of cash before it was counted was estimated to be approximately 18 Billion Dollars!
After it was counted it turned out to be a little more than 22 Billion Dollars!
From another angle.
Guns were hidden all over the house, along with ample ammo, just in case of trouble.
Stacks of cash were found in every nook and cranny…
This case is filled with 100 dollar Bills estimated to be 1/2 a million dollars and no doubt headed out to make another drug deal with perhaps the Columbians.
18 plastic bins filled with 100 dollar bills were found…
Another cabinet stack tight with cash – all 100’s.
More 100’s.
Each of these stacks of 100’s holds USD250,000 (a quarter of a million US dollars)! They also had millions in Columbia n money and Mexican Pesos, although they preferred American dollars for the most part.
There were even stacks of Chinese Yuan found in one closet.
More Gold machine guns and pistols – most were never fired, just held for collection value.

Don’t give us all that tosh, Ian. You know, I know, the world and his wife knows, that gun collection belongs to Gordon… So don’t try and pull the wool over our eyes. A certain Gordon (El Dudo) Machoman of this parish.
One must remember to read the comments before posting. I didn’t. This is an old stiry from at least 2007. The age of the news doesn’t alter my earlier opinion. However whenever I notice “Snopes” is the source my antennea sprout. Could this have been a staged foto shoot. For a number of years I have been commenting to friends about how it seems there aren’t any large drug busts anymore. Rarer than a bank robbery. So recycled or manufactured this news story causes an initial reaction in people, causing us believe that gov’t is doing it’s job. Not! I want the 45 caliber gold 1911. That is a beauty.
My only thought about this is a question? Who did he piss off? Maybe nobody. It may very well may be this person is not playing by the Bush rules. Rather than invest in all of the cabal schemes, and spread the wealth around this man preferred to keep his, his. Like a nation state destroyed for refusing to use the Rothchild bank system. One must pay to play.
it’d be a tough lesson for a while but yes. all the profits would disappear, no more “victimless criminals” occupying space in the jails at our expense, and hardcore substance abusers wasting themselves right out of our way in plain sight serving as example why to really “just say no!”. I have no doubts about many people losing friends and family members to substance abuse and overdose within the first few years of an ended prohibition, collapse of big banks that have profited laundering illegal dope money would cause some turmoil as well, but it needs to happen.
trump-chump is on the same payroll, so was “obama” who appointed witch hillary as secretary of state as fast as he’d obtained office “from outta nowhere”. very easy to see that this “election” is just another complete sham.
The current mafia in control will never legalise drugs if they can help it. Illegal drugs are so much more profitable! This is the value of Afghanistan for the controlling mafia – it has become the narco state, and much of the illegal, unaccounted for (and therefore unaccountable) narco dollars go to financing black ops and illegal wars, ISIS, etc. Afghanistan now accounts now for nearly 90% of global heroin trade, before US occupation it was about 10-15%. The US war chest is much bigger than the official war chest! How much of that goes clandestinely to Israel is anybody’s guess. This is the modern shadow banking elite con capitalism that is the prevailing system. Immoral doesn’t quite cover it.
Interesting story, but about 15 years old
they COULDN’T have been working “fast-n-furious” bush-clinton-CIA operations at all.
