Entrepreneurial Fisherman Finds 20 Kilos of Cocaine and Decides to Go Into the Drug Dealing Biz, Gets Caught

First you get the money, then you get the power, then you get arrested.

32-year-old fisherman Thomas Breeding came across a shit-ton of coke in the Gulf of Mexico and made the brilliant move of trying to it. After all, that’s what people in the movies do, right?

He’s now facing life in prison and a $4.25 million fine. That’ll change your life for sure. Just like in the movies.

“This changed my life and way of thinking and also made me aware of some of the dangers that can be found off shore in the Gulf,” Breeding wrote. “I would like to let the public know the dangers and what not to do if this situation comes about.”

Yeah, dealing a butt-ton of coke isn’t easy if you don’t know what you’re doing. It takes years of training to become a successful drug dealer. Haven’t you ever seen the movies?
