“Pablo,” she said, “I heard you are washing the money. Is this money laundered?”
“Yes, of course” he said.

This was the first time that Pablo had been accused in public of being a drug trafficker. A few days later a newspaper in Bogota reported, also for the first time, that Pablo Escobar had been arrested for smuggling thirty-nine kilos in 1976. Pablo told me he was not surprised at any of this. "The people running this country don't want me to succeed. I'm a threat to the same politics. They're going to be against me because they're used to robbing and I'm going to transform the system. Everybody in Medellin knows that I have real estate businesses and that's how I get my money for politics. I love my country, and we want to make this country beautiful. I admire the United States, but I don't agree with the way they are doing politics here in Colombia."

After giving his speech had his bodyguards around the stage and he opened some cases with money. People came close to the stage and Pablo had his bodyguards handing money person to person. He told the bodyguards to give money to everyone but especially to old people and young people. The people loved him. they would kiss his hands. Pablod didn't like that touching, but he would put his hands on the person's back and hug them, saying, "Do well."
It was funny. Some politicians find secret ways of buying votes. Pablo just haned out money to the poor people, but not demanding anything in return. Sometimes instead of rallies he would have his airplanes fly over small towns dropping flyers, "Vote for Pablo!" And money. Of course the people loved him.

I remember that once he return home to Medellin and brought some canned food from the market for Pablo to try. “You gotta eat this,” he said. “It’s delicious. It’s what I’ve been eating for the past two months.”
Pablo knew enough English to know that Luis Carlos had been eating cat food.
