Great Documentary bro.. well done for finding Rafas nephew.. loved it
Amazing content!! Would love to see you do interviews in Colombia
Wow, great story! It's all about the hustle.
Thanks for another great video
Puerto Rico has been part of the us since 1917 😮
As a kid in colombia in the 70s and 80s it was wild
This series is absolutely heat 🔥 can’t wait for the rest of the Miami series!!!Hope he doesn’t get his restaurants seized after stating he used drug money he hid after getting raided to open and start them is that even possible bc it’s been so many years ago I don’t think it will happen or he would say all this stuff if he thought it would just a thought and curious to know what the situation would be on something like that lol
Powerful Story Johnny!
This is great, that dude sold me my first mattress when i moved to miami beach from medellin in 2018. small world
Wow, what an awesome episode 30 and 31 was!
Wow, amazing thee way that history is told.
Hello Johnny. Love your episodes. I'm as well from Oregon. Lived in Portland for several years. When they busted you...the bust that sent you to big house. Were you living in the Pearl Distict?
Awesome job!
The story of jumping over the fence made my eyes water. Called my parents. Told them just a little of the story.
greetings from the Netherlands a beautiful story born in Brazil
Great episode 🫵🏻🔥💪🏼
Great video
The connect fr 🔌
Hell of a documentary 🎉
Right on!
I lived near a private airport in South Florida. And it was a running joke that if a plane crashed and caught fire it was overloaded with cocaine. And if it crashed and didn’t catch fire it ran out of fuel. There were many occasions the neighborhood kids would get to the house first and steal as much of the cargo as possible before the cops or fire trucks got there.
Perry Airport?
My great grandparents used to own a small restaurant in the Florida Keys way back in the day and he told me once that in the late 70’s they’d sit on the back deck and just watch all the planes fly in everyday. They were not very discreet about it when they first started. If you ever go scuba diving around the Keys there are a ton of old small engine airplanes at the bottom of the ocean that were ditched or crashed lol.
One of the best episodes, I've seen so far
Much respect...
Thanks!
Was this uploaded, deleted and then uploaded again? I swear I watched this on Sunday
Rofl that house he bought is in my old neighborhood, I've had so many conversations about that place over the years. We used to say it was a drug dealer's house just because it was Miami and RIGHT down the street from the airport! 😂
I recognized the house immediately! And I used to think the same thing with my friends, it stands out so much how can it not be a dealers house lol
@JU JU between that wall and you could not see the front door from the street, and every other house on the street is an HOA clone, it stuck out like a motherfucker. If you just sprint to 137th, and you're at the far corner of the airport already. They could've thrown shit over the fence to save time 😂
Dude. Props on the great content. From 1 former criminal to another lol. Ciao.

Wow😮😮😮😮😮😮 AMAZING STORY!!!!!!!!!😮😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉 CONGRATS TO HIM
Grats bro if you ever want vlog getting shredded surfing I’m an ex semi big wave pro and I always scratched ‘‘em never got toed in
So he buries 50k but leaves a million in the closet?
Doesn't make sense.Its the millions that he burried that to this day that he unearths from his hideouts n launders using those legitimate businesses of his.This guys take people fr fools,its the 50k that he left at the closet that he used to throw away the dirty cops with.
Lol, exactly what he said^ I bet he launders money/ thru fake buisnesses
High on cocaine will do that
IRS my dude.... Use ur brain
Obviously you've never been coked out of your mind lmfao
What a story !!!!
Growing up in the 561 we used to idolize these dudes, they were legendary, ive heard these stories 3rd, 4th hand 1000 times. Then Co.cowboys dropped and we heard it all 1st hand. I cant even count the times ive watched scarface doing coke just like alex lol. And the police are actual cool, yeah they're dirty af BUT if you're hustling and not stealing or hurting innocent people they will usually take your sht and let you go. Ive been "detained" 15-20 times, but my record is spotless. I really miss the 90s and then the pills in the 20000s was a whole nother world. Palm beach county/miami/dade was absolutely insane, it felt like living in a different country. Great podcast dude, thanks for the run down memory lane.
R.i.p. to the boys that didnt make it, a lot of good people got caught up and lost their lives. Casualties of the neverending drug war.
18:09 u spying on me how u know what my setup like😂
FUCKING LOVED IT.. KEEPING IT REAL MAN !!!
Mattresses?!? I knew it. Those mattress stores are a racket
Yes my g
This is funny 😂
Hey BLANCO is a strain from cookies also a collaboration with them you should do a video on that too!
You have some real imagineers on your podcast.
Mattress stores? Not laundering Colombian money? Strange
🐁🐁🐁
Buenas suerte!
Al praises to you Alex love brother
He’s recounting a dream
Ey youtube can do what they want, we lighting a candle for you mano
Should have added an "you know what I mean" counter 😂
I would love to talk face to with "Johnny Mitchell" publicly about a lot of this stuff!
ask him if anything he's said was real? 🤣😆😄
Wonder if u seen the 200 bricks they found i. Mediterranean sea just after 2 months ago finding the 350 bricks off New Zealand something is coming up alittle short
I’m really confused why does this episode say it was uploaded today but I seen it on Friday on this page?
Re-upload my guy
That shovel saved his life😊
damn eggs with rice and ketchup iykyk ikno about that
Dam that's dope I ain't know mattress king was his
Hey jonnie ! Ur pretty dam successful by now I bet u you can interview Griselda blancos son!
Didn't this come out a few days ago or am I tripping?
What about sal malguta and those guys
Levels
His father was an Enforcer for Colombian Cartels but when he seen one of the rivals who shot at his own son, he said I’mma teach him a lesson by going and punching him? That doesn’t add up to me. Also, some dirty cops searched his house and found nothing at all other than a gun in his car? I’m not buying this story.
Right I read max mermelstein’s book and it doesn’t mention a “Robert”
Every Drug Trafficker knows about the Opaloca Airport 🤐‼️
Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangster..
Dont sleep on rice eggs & ketchup if you know how to make good white rice with flavor ...i have taste for it now
Shoutout to Kendall🫡
Johnny is so handsome.
nice
Mattresses huh 🤔. There needs to be a way to clean that bread.
griselda was known to smoke base
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember some moron reporting the wall full of money. I live in S. Fla.
This happened about 2004. When money found.
What an absolute imbecile
Defintley a moron 😂😂
interesting episode so alex is jorge ochoa's nephew i get it?
Haha!! 😂There is no extradition from PR, PR has been a colony of the US since the 1898 😅
Incredible tale of desperation, success, perversion, and redemption
He might also be money laundering now for all the other new drug organizations now as a retirement. I mean he is still connected his family is connected someone around him is still moving quanities and he is just,wasjing some of that money.
1998 fords are the best
"I didn't have to sell coke to be successful."
That's exactly what you did. You used the 50k from your drug sales to start your mattress empire. And isn't admitting to money laundering right there?
Lol yea right. Mattress stores are fronts
he dont own mattress kings this guy making up half the shit he worked for us we fired his ass for stealing
I grew up in the life style.
The gangsters rarely retire on the hill. But 2 of the Ochoa’s did.
Lol 😂 so this foo just saying “I bought this house with illegal money “
never believe the amount of money hidden or made they will never tell yea lmao 😂😂😂😂😂
Lol selling mattresses yer rite
I knew some parts were a little fishy in his story but I caught a lie he told. He said his dad was in the car when Miguel Perez stabbed the fat Columbian kingpin (can’t remember his name) inside the airport. His dad wasn’t there at all. Rivi was in the car and witness Miguel get tackled feet away from the getaway car by police. Rivi said Miguel looked at him with a help me look and Rivi took off driving. Soo idk what other lie this guy told in his story. But his family tree is definitely 100% gangster to the core
Marimba way
i like the colombian haircut
By drug dealers for drug dealers 😅
