Introducing a whole nation to cocaine is a pretty big thing, probably not a debt you can repay. Then again, if not him, it would have been someone else.
85% -87% of ALL Cocaine imported in the US from 1977 -1984 came through via Boston George or his group. He got the US Hooked on Coke and you could even say further that George Jung is partially responsible for the crack cocaine epidemic as well. If you have ever seen cocaine cowboys - those are the people that worked for Boston George - directly and indirectly.
