Pablo Escobar’s cartel made an estimated $420 million a week. His son says that at the end, they were hiding with $5 million in cash and starving.
In the video below, he tells Michael Franzese what the last days with his father looked like.
Juan Pablo Escobar now goes by Sebastián Marroquín. He says he has spoken in almost 50 countries.
Everywhere he goes, teenagers tell him the same thing.
“He was so successful. He was so rich. He was so powerful.”
His answer: “He had all the money in the world and all the power, and he could never buy just a simple minute of peace for himself and his family.”
He says his father became a billionaire. Then he describes the end.
“We were hidden with $5 million in cash, and we were starving.”
His father was the most wanted man in the world. His men had left.
“We could have bought every supermarket in our town. But we were starving.”
“You cannot eat the dollars.”
He says that before “Narcos” was filmed, he offered Netflix family letters, home videos and thousands of photos. They weren’t interested.
The chapter he wishes the show had included: “Pablo starving, dying, no food, but full of money.”
Escobar was killed in December 1993. His son was 16.
$420 million a week. $5 million in a hideout. Nothing to eat.
The case for the fans: Escobar came from poverty and built one of the richest criminal empires in history. For years, no one could touch him.
The case for his son: he died hunted and abandoned, sitting on cash he couldn’t eat. Thousands of families were destroyed on the way.
So was Pablo Escobar a success story, or a man who had everything and could buy nothing?

Fair play, Tom Hardy's impression of him is dead on.

I’ll never forget the day a man tried to kill me while I was livestreaming in Rhode Island.
I was coffinboarding along the Blackstone River when I encountered a man who began threatening my life. He told me, “Your ass is canal water,” and “You’re already dead.” He repeatedly demanded that I turn off my camera so he could kill me and throw my body into the canal.
I genuinely believed I was going to die that day. I ended up escaping approximately six miles straight to get away from him. Eventually, I made it back to my car, drove out of Rhode Island, and haven’t returned to the state since.
What makes this story even more disturbing is that under two months earlier, another man had been found dead in the river at the exact same location where this man threatened to kill me and throw my body. Detectives are still investigating that man’s death, trying to determine exactly what happened to him. I was recently on the Rhode Island Channel 10 news for this.
I don’t know whether the two incidents are connected, and I’m not claiming they are. But knowing someone had been found dead in the same place where my life was threatened is something I’ll never forget.
I’m incredibly grateful that I managed to escape that day, because there’s a very real possibility I wouldn’t be here telling this story if I hadn’t.
I haven’t talked about the situation much since, but saw it is going viral here on X, but that the full clip wasn’t shown. Also, the full livestream is available on my Twitch (wenevergetyounger) or YouTube: youtube.com/@henryposton?si=…
This incident happened at the end of a 2.5 hour livestream.
Life is a gift, and I’m grateful I got another chance to experience it.
