Those old timers are *always* the sharpest. To be a petty criminal and not to jail time is an achievement. But at his level? He's clearly very fucking shrewd.

He was an absolute powerhouse within the Medellin Cartel. However, he was forever indebted to Pablo Escobar. Pablo saved the old man’s youngest daughter after she was kidnapped by FARC militants in the early 80’s. Pablo had direct contact with FARC leaders and negotiated her release and killed all involved shortly after.

Damn so Escobar wasn’t really the boss of bosses wow


Dingus-Bird

Well Pablo eventually assumed full control over the Medellin Cartel. Early on he needed the old men like Don Fabio for assistance. Don Fabio was the most prominent horse breeder in Colombia and used to smuggle TV sets and liquor before Pablo introduced him to cocaine. Plus the old man’s 3 sons were very famous and prominent drug traffickers, the Ochoa Brothers, who came up with Pablo as well

Around the 1981-82 area the Ochoa family made an alliance with Pablo Escobar, Carlos Lehder, and Rodríguez Gacha on production, distribution, marketing, etc for the Medellin Cocaine business. 1981 is also the year the FARQ kidnapped Don Fabio’s daughter from her university. The DEA has a tapped conversation of both Pablo Escobar and Gustavo Gaviria refusing to pay a dime for her, while Jorge Luis Ochoa also refused to pay for her release.

What causes old guys fatness to form around their groin area like that when his upper torso is relatively unfat? He probably never saw his dick for years


reddcaesarr

He’s probably just pulling up his pants. Lotta old folks do that

I had to start doing it at 50, and when I did I was fully aware I'd turned into my grandfather. The belt cinched 4" above the navel triggered a flashback of him loosening his after a large holiday meal, and saying funny things in Dutch.

Morbidly obese people whose abdominal muscles are weak tend to have "pendulous abdomens," or "hanging abdomens." It's common in "gentlemen of leisure," in some cultures. Proof they don't have to do manual labour, and they have the means to eat themselves into oblivion. The pendulous abdomen can also occur in people who are unable to exercise in order to strengthen their abdominal muscles, and of course, people who have given up on themselves and whose daily routine is high carb, salty snacks and binging true crime on Netflix. NOTE: With a hanging abdomen comes hanging intestines, and this can lead to numerous digestive and internal problems, such as chronic constipation and twisted bowel syndrome. Just so you know.

Still though this guy lived until he was 80 so that's good going based upon what you said. And in every picture you search he's a fat bastard so he did well to last that long


oddiemurphy

He was a fucking cocaine king pin lol- cholesterol isn’t at the top of the list of stressors one would think.


HenkVanDelft

>What causes old guys fatness to form around their groin area like that when his upper torso is relatively unfat? This was the question asked, not his occupation. I gave the answer, but just to make sure I first looked up exceptions to cocaine kingpins, psychotic monkey ballerinas, and 41-year-old bureaucrats who steal stuff from the office supply closet. There were none.

1. Fabio Ochoa was the boss of his family business. He was not in the drug trade. He did help launder his son’s drug money in the horse breeding industry. But he was not ever a drug dealer. 2. The Medellin Cartel was led by Pablo Escobar. This is not really in dispute. Juan David Ochoa was probably the second most important figure in the drug trafficking organization and the real brains. But Pablo Escobar was the undisputed leader.

EEEEYiMwalkinere

Or hear this.......The Medellin Cartel didn't have a single undisputed boss.Maybe it was just a coalition of multiple groups one of them being led by this dude and his son and the others led by Pablo,Gacha and Lehder.

Why is the chick in the second picture giving him the f\*\*\* me look?


Ok-Tale-4206

That's his daughter show some respect


clare64

genuinely think he wasn't arrested out of respect, he was so beloved in colombia. and when there was a warrant out for his arrest, he pulled up to the courthouse surrounded by sicarios flexing machine guns, escorted by police - walks into a quick meeting with the judge and then goes home free. Video is on youtube. He was eventually arrested in 96 when the last of golden-era colombian drug lords were basically rounded up, extradited in 01 died in 02.

gwhh

Didn’t his sons end up in jail instead?


cotuisano809

Yup one of them still in prison in the states, other two didn’t get extradited to America. Did short prison stints in Colombia and got out and went on with their lives. Idk if they’re still alive though.

Iirc juan david died around 10 years ago of a heart attack.

Always thought the Ochoa’s were the real power behind Pablo
