Dr. Jorge L. Valdes

Founding Member of Colombia’s Medellin Drug Cartel

As a young man in his twenties with an insatiable thirst for money and power, Dr. Jorge Valdes was a founding member of a group that became known as Colombia’s Medellin Drug Cartel.

His key position as a head of U.S. operations brought him into direct contact with presidents, generals, Hollywood celebrities, and hired killers. This Cuban immigrant, raised in poverty, was living the high life in more ways than one. His deeds took him from the lap of luxury to the depths of prison and now walks the straight and narrow as a responsible citizen. He earned his Ph.D. has been invited to the White House to advise the U.S. federal government on drug policy and strives to reach millions of people about his narco mindset. The mindset that allowed him to survive before, during and after the Medellin Drug Cartel.
