George Jung did a handful of private autograph signings following his release from prison in 2017. However my George Jung signatures are very unique and rare as George added RARE inscriptions on the items he signed for me which are one of a kind. I personally corresponded with George Jung for a decade while he was incarcerated. This autograph was signed while he was incarcerated in Otisville Prison. He autographed this item "Johnnys Good Cause Hes Always Bad George Jung"
Also included for free with the purchase of this George Jung signature is a copy of the 2020 Felon magazine featuring George on the cover.
BIO:George Jung (Deceased) MedellínCartel Drug Lord who worked directly for Pablo Escobar. It is believed thatGeorge Jung contributed to 80% all the cocaine that was smuggled into theUnited States during the 1970's-1980's. George Jung was portrayed by JohnnyDepp in the 2001 biopic film titled Blow. At the height of this enterprise Jungand his associates were reportedly making $250,000 a month (equivalent to over$1.7 million in 2020 dollars adjusting for inflation).
Hewas nicknamed “Boston George” and “El Americano.” Jung initially had his stewardessgirlfriend transport the drugs in her suitcases on flights. In search of evengreater profits he expanded his operation to flying the drugs in from PuertoVallarta, Mexico using airplanes stolen from private airports on Cape Cod.
Jungwas also partnered with notorious Medellín Cartel smuggler Carlos Lehder whoallowed Jung to use his private island Norman's Cay to refuel his planes beforeJung smuggled cocaine into the United States. Normans Cay island which is 210miles off the Florida coast in the central Bahamas.
In1994 Jung was arrested with 1,754 pounds of cocaine. He later pleaded guilty tothree counts of conspiracy and received a 70-year sentence. Jung wasincarcerated at Otisville Federal Prison then was transferred to Federal CorrectionalInstitution La Tuna and then to Federal Correctional Institution, Fort Dix, NewJersey. Jung was released from prison in 2017 and passed away in 2021 inWeymouth,Massachusetts.
Ifyou are interested in George Jung's story I highly recommend reading RobertPorter's book “Blow.” The book is much more in-depth than the film.
