They set him up. They already knew he was the guy doing all of the modifications but they couldn’t prosecute him for just modding aircraft. Savage
Man you make the videos interesting , eloquently and making us understand where the Iq of these masterminds come in place
Thank you 🙏
every month, there is a new person that " was the biggest drug smuggler in U.S history"
😂😂😅😅
Keep up the good work!💯
Thanks! Will do!
Thanks for the video
My pleasure!
Great channel!
Thank you!
love the voice //*-subscribed
Rick was very smart...I guarantee he was smart enough to know to give the cops just enough to strike a great deal, but not everything that would completely screw him in the end. He earned $1,000,000/week in his smuggling and the authorities only recovered $21,000,000? Yeah he has enough money stashed away to fly to a deserted island, retire, and live a VERY luxurious life. I know that s what I would do.
Thoroughly enjoying these stories.
Keep up the great work!!
I will , thank you 🫡
Seeing this, makes me miss the old show, great series if you can find where to stream them. This one was on there it was titled "Air America"
well, there is NO WAY, not even CLOSE, that a 310 carried that much fuel, stock plane carried ONE hundred gallons, (see wiki)
You can read about this guy and how he made it
The 310 was Barry Seal's first plane that he used to haul dope. He sold it to one of Rik's friends and Rik made the mods on it. He never hauled serious weight. And that plane crashed down in Colombia so I was told. The guy never paid Barry.
Hot tip that background sound destroys the video
Je to venku :D
Už na to přišli!!! :D
Jsem propalenej...
Good episode please upload more
Thank you 🙏
The best is yet to come 🔥
An undercover officer insists on paying you in drugs, then after you finally accept it they arrest you? outrageous! to me such an act is criminal,Rick didn't even ask to be paid in drugs!
100 percent its called entrapment and it would never even do to court those cops would lose there job lololololololol
Exactly. There's no such thing back then or now called entrapment. That's why they came up with that bull shit conspiracy charge.
Also in the early 60's military surplus b17 were very cheap. some of those were flown over and landed in the Everglades. yep right under their noses. That early a lot of the haul was columbian gold. rather than coke.
Great video, but 6000 gallons is impossible.
No way was a Cessna hauling 16 tonnes of fuel on every trip...impossible
I think they mean 600 gallons .
A regular Cessna 310 burn 25 /30 gallons / hour , Scranton to Colombia in 13 hours in a modified engine may burns 40 gallons/ hours will ended up around 500-550 gallons.
Or liters instead of gallons
Another great story from robbers IQ as usual 😇
Thanks again!
That 310 Cessna had to have some child kind of gallons!?!
Here for another great video! Rik was a genius engineer and pilot.
Thanks 🫡
I'm surprised his plane would fly with his balls onboard. Flying dirty over open water. Dealing with savages that could turn on you for little to no reason. I kept thinking about Treetop Flyer. Great story!
@@stoveboltlvr3798 🤣🤣
Rick is a genius.. I watch the original video on FBI files..
2000 gallons of fuel in a 310…nope
Im from the Cayman islands and i never heard about that arrest
Bro is the Heisenberg of smuggling
All of these had one thing in common, gov affiliation
😂Scranton PA?! So it was Creed Bratton. Got it! Lol
Umm...you left out the whole part of the CIAs involvement. They were the ones running logistics for all those missions. Same as the heroin boom in the 70s, all CIA. Boy we just got a wonderful government huh ?
How did that come about? Why would the CIA smuggle drugs into USA willingly? 🤨
How did you know all this ?
@@RobbersIQcommon knowledge… no ? 🤷♂️
Sorry dude, but the CIA was not involved with Rik's deals.
Mena, Arkansas. Research that and Barry Seals. The kids on the track.
Not what you know but who you know
This sounds like the movie that Tom Cruise did. And why does this story sound like the same story of Roger Reaves?????
Another super smart guy that had to break the law to fulfill his goals
Definitely flying into the storm
"building genuine relationships with politicians..."
They all knew. The old saying, see no evil, hear no evil and what i do know i dont know. Facts
Well said 🫡
To bad John Deloren couldn't work out a sweet heart deal like this guy.
They used to call his daddy Corn pop.
Yeah...what ever happened to "Cornpop"...?
Never heard any more about him..
Oh...so this is what happened to scranton😂🍻
Not easy to keep a low profile when your wealth is astonishing 😅
How did he fly over Cuba? I noticed the direct flight went directly over Cuba.
6000 gallons in a Cessna is bullshit
Shipments worth billions,thats crazy 💀
Its a good story, but lets not forget the CIA and DEA running their own smuggling operations, with the assistance from the navy and various other US entities. The real story is much seedier than most people can imagine.
The system is corrupt , i always believed that every Cartel/gang/mafia or any sort of illegal organization in this world wouldn’t be successful without the help of the local corrupted authorities.
Many thanks....
Most welcome!
U forgot about the part where he had lunch with Michael Scott in Scranton, Pennsylvania
Scranton Pennsylvania, wonder if anyone noteworthy has came from there?
The Scranton strangler !
@parentsbasement7734 never heard of that one. I've heard Cornpop and Brandon used to run the streets of Scranton back in the day.
Joe Biden claims to be a favorite son of Scranton. Damn, that's gonna leave a mark.
What does a smug look like?
Is that a new company or the same Air America that brought heroin to Nam🤔
Good story. But not the largest smuggler
Great show. A bit like listening to Spock. 😮
6000 gallons on a cesna 310 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the narrator clearly has no idea wtf he is talking about.
Of Roger reaves
Does his plane still exist?
Hope you're doing okay I'm from the United Kingdom keep safe and well.
Wow i was only 2 years old
Is this gunna be Barry seal
Cute story....up until the point you said a Cessna 310 held 2000 gallons of fuel in standard tanks. LOL
I lost interest when they used the word, smartly lol
You left out barry seal and mena
How? CIA .
There's no way it could possibly carry 2000 gallons. That's totally false.
Its 100% true
You can read about this guy skills
@@RobbersIQ There is absolutely no way. I'm not arguing what he did or modified. A cessna 310's gross weight is 4600 pounds and about 100 gallons of fuel. 2000 gallons of fuel would be 12,000 pounds. Just fuel. That's more than some airliners take. You're not going to modify that Cessna to carry 3 times the weight. Your fuel capacity is off. Maybe 200 gallons.
@@alskdjfhg0 Most likely you are right,and it had250 gallons at most
It said he made it carry 6000 that it originally had 2000 but he needed it up as well bigger engine stronger wheels and stronger wing weight braces...
@@georgehitlipp8859 Okay, I'll try keep this simple. A Cessna 310 will burn 25ish gallons an hour stock. Hopped up or bigger engines, okay, say maybe 30 gallons an hour. 2000 gallons puts that at 66.6 hours of fuel. At 200mph AVERAGE that's 13,320 miles worth of fuel. Or in other terms half way around the world. It's quite literally impossible. Lol it could never carry that much fuel even if the cabin was full of fuel too, to the brim. Then this guy wants to say 6000 gallons?! Get real. As if he would need enough fuel to fly 1.5 times around the world.
2000 gallons in a 310 lmfao
Bruh I knew who he was way before you revealed his name Rick is a legend and people saying that 310 couldn’t carry that much fuel clearly don’t understand how much of a genius Rick was when come to planes
That’s what I’m trying to explain 😅
Listen it's simple. You CANNOT smuggle BILLIONS of drugs Without the assistance of D.E.A.and C.I.A. PERIOD!!!
Totally agree
6000 gallons ?
No way
Lost all credibility with that
6000 gallons in a 310? Not…
Barry Seal. Hmmm. He knew a Governor from…?
Reminds me of American made
I think that one is about this story is
Rick work hard 😅😂
I think i hav3 seen the movie abt this story
he's smart
American made movie retold 😊
So what made Jim so dangerous ? The title of this video says he was so dangerous!
Barry seal
I can’t imagine no one knowing especially politicians. I’m not surprised he got off with his net worth. Good story though.
these kinds of dirty/cheat people just trying to the doing urgly jobs for the purposes & profits as desired & designs....etc!.
The American Dream
I knew Tricky Rick back then and you have some of the facts wrong. Just like the people making Barry Seal out to be some bad guy drug smuggler. Both Barry and Rick may of been in the drug smuggling business, but both were great guys who would give you the shirt off their backs.
That's why our government recruited them. They were easy to flip on when the time came. 10:42
The dichotomy of some great people engaged in criminality is as you say. They'd help and support all they can for a straight going person.
How can you live for 350 year's
It really shows how these certain guys with extreme intelligence can get away with much over time. It’s to outsmart the police. DEA. Etc. Many that do these types of jobs simply don’t do this or can’t. Lack of intelligence and skill.
Have you wondering how many never get caught 🤔
@@shevoy_000
Good question/point.
You just left out he was running the drugs for the cia?😅
Maybe 🤔
Weapons
Cia is the Barry Seal story.
American Made..
love
Ask yourself why he was safe landing in Arkansas
Where is Rick now?
He is free
Rick Lychese lives in Florida now
Treetop Flyer. ;-)
Ethiopians say, "If there is money, there is a street (road) oon the sky!"
Cheers
You should read his book it came out in the 90s i think wow wat a good book once I started I couldn’t put it down Rick was the king the guy was a genius
I will
Rick the rat. It goes to show the police can’t really do much without informers. It’s a shame however it is what it is. Say no to drugs people
Their is a movie based on this story. Starred by Tom Cruise
That was about Barry Seal
@@berrymckinley2541 name of the movie is American made
extra 4000 gallons?? at 6lb a gallon thats 24,000 which equates to 160 adults. er....this is total bs 👩🏻🦽🚽
siyabonga
Ok
the American made?
1000 IQ Smart
A essna "three hundred and ten" does not, cannot hold 2,000 gal of fuel..... get your facts right
But he told
He told what 🤌
@@RobbersIQhe talked/told authorities all his operations about everything hence only getting 8.5 years, buuuut who did he work for Yesss big baller cartels he snitched so to say … so where is he now? Surely a hit on him or something
Calm down all y'all in tbe comments, its not a Cinderella story
Yup I was just going to say CIA.
Back in the ear!y 1980's a coworker recommend a dentist to me. Guy rented a so so older office in Philly and I thought charged too much. Never saw many people going there. His name was Larry Lavin and he smuggled over a 100 pounds of cocaine a month. While at on parole he hid out in Virginia Beach for 3 years. He only got NJ off with a 20 year jail sentence. Luckily all big drug dealers either get caught or murdered by their competitors.
🔥🔥🦍🔥🔥
2000 gallons weighs 16000 lbs
A 310 weighs approx 5500 lbs
8000 gallons weighs 64000 lbs with no cargo
