    George Jung, AKA Boston George has been released from Federal Prison. He has been credited with the introduction of Cocaine into the US in the late 70's and early 80's due to his unique relationship with the Columbian Coke Cartel(s).

    His life story was shown in the Movie, BLOW up until the point he was arrested in 1995 outside Boston with 500 pounds of weed and sentenced in 1997

    The guy may be scum but he served his time and paid his debt to society.

    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.
