The Colombians didnt kick up a dime to anyone. Those coke guys carried more money in their front pocket than Carlo Gambino banked in 50 years. The money those guys made was unfathomable. Although Scarface was fictional, thats really how it was in south florida back in the 70's and 80's.
I hear you and think that the Columbians at this time may have not had a clue and definitely didnt care about the mafia. Most of the columbians were poor farmers who stumbled upon a gold mine that was perfect for the 80s. That griselda blanco had an army of hitmen in miami taking out anyone who crossed her. This was a modern day version of 1920s chicago
