Carlos Lehder helped found the Medellin Cartel in Columbia and helped to get cocaine brought into Florida. When he was arrested in Connecticut, he hooked up with George Jung and later the two bought a stolen airplane so they could cut out the middle man. He wound up getting caught by the feds and is still serving time for smuggling drugs.
