I almost had a Lear Jet charter to Rio but my roomate took it because I had other commitments. One of his passengers back in the 70's left a satchel on the plane going through customs as they were passing through RIO and customs asked why wasn't this brought in. My roomate said I don't know. They fround cocaine in it and my roomate was in prison at Aguasanti for a month before my buddy with one of their lawyers got him out. We worked with the DEA a few times so they knew we were clean but it took a lot of lawyering to get my roomate out. I decided not to help the DEA out any more after that. They get paid for it, we don't.
