I agree the sun doesn't shine for very long in most cases at the top I think it all differs tho I knew a guy who was the lone cocaine supplier for the city I live in which is known as Little Chicago... He had 25 year run with minor arrests for small amounts of cocaine thru the whole time he was bringing work into the city.... His name was Rico Rivas aka Taco he eventually passed some years ago and left 350,000 to one of his daughters and her boyfriend Paul Acevedo aka Pepe....money was left with the daughter and the pipeline connect was left to one of the sons that was named no other then Rico Rivas Jr.. Rivas Jr never amounted to what his father did but at same time a 25 year run with minor arrests is pretty good I would think the more n more I think about it tho I wouldn't rule out some sort of cooperation could have gone on.
