In April of 1988 dozens of Federal Agents armed to the teeth raid TJ’s South Florida mansion and arrest him. He is charged and convicted of smuggling tons and tons of cocaine into the U.S. and sentenced to more than a decade in Federal Prison. But TJ plans an elaborate escape from the confines of his cell - he buys a helicopter and hires a pilot to land it in the prison yard.
It's interesting, TJ got scammed by a couple of conniving con artists and turned it into a $500 million cocaine business. I got scammed by 'The Irish Heiress' and wrote: 'Anatomy of a Con Artist' for Penguin Random House to teach people how to spot the con artist in their lives BEFORE they get scammed.
