Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous Tasteless Drug Lords

Saturday, December 25th, 2010

You may remember this post I did on the tasteless opulence of Latin American drug lords.

Well, gold-plated automatics are one thing, but a giant painted mural of Justin Bieber is quite another. Brazilian drug lord Pezao, step up and claim your prize as Most Tasteless Drug Lord for 2010.

And on that note, Merry Christmas to one and all!

Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous Drug Lords

Saturday, June 12th, 2010

Here are some pretty interesting pictures from a bust at a Mexican drug lord’s house. The giant piles of cash and the tacky gold-plated guns are pretty much par for the course, but the rest of the house is, believe it or not, more tasteful and restrained than the average drug lord lair. But the non-gold plated arsenal starts out at interesting, moves on to impressive, and ends up at “oh my God, he really could have equipped his own army.” (Though the pictures at the bottom are evidently from another bust.)
