The Soldier's Fate and the Con Man's Playbook
Manage episode 427524263 series 3486995
Can a soldier become a drug smuggler and still believe that everything happens for a reason? Join us as we unravel the compelling life of Ronald J. Baker. From the harrowing battlefields of Vietnam to the high-stakes underworld of drug smuggling, Baker's story is filled with close calls, personal losses, and a relentless drive shaped by his wartime experiences. We'll take you through his journey from Wall Street to a Tijuana jail where a chance meeting with a notorious smuggler steered his life into uncharted territories.
But that's not all. We also bring you the astonishing tale of Arturo Hoyo, a master con artist whose path intriguingly intersects with Baker's. Imagine the moral dilemma of managing gentleman's clubs in Fort Lauderdale while being courted by a man like Hoyo, who masquerades as Mr. Bacardi with grandiose plans of deception. We'll explore the intricate scams Arturo orchestrated—from travel industry exploits to coal futures fraud—and his eventual downfall. Plus, hear about the captivating book, "The Plastic Magician," that chronicles his life and their own incredible experiences, including time in federal prison. This episode is a whirlwind of deception, redemption, and the unpredictable turns of life.
