In this VladTV interview, Carlos Lehder reflects on his early life in Armenia, Colombia, his German father’s move to South America, and the pull of New York City culture, money, and rock and roll. Lehder details how he drifted from restaurant work into a stolen rental car ring involving Hertz and Avis vehicles near Kennedy Airport, leading to his first prison sentence. He then discusses entering marijuana smuggling and transporting cocaine from Bolivia to Colombia before the drug trade expanded into the U.S. market.
A key moment comes when Lehder recalls serving time at the federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut, where he met George Jung, also known as “Boston George,” who was incarcerated for flying marijuana from Mexico to California. Lehder explains how their conversations shifted toward cocaine trafficking and shares the hard lessons he later learned from the Medellín Cartel era with Pablo Escobar.
