Pablo Escobar reportedly buried quite the treat for this farmer below the surface of his land.
The drug kingpin allegedly left a few trinkets from his life of crime littered around his home country of Colombia, such as an abandoned plane, which supposedly crashed while carrying a s**tload of drugs.
Apparently, he also stashed a load of cash in various locations – including Josè Mariena Cartolos’ family ranch.
Although they say ‘crime doesn’t pay’, Escobar‘s highly illegal exploits made him a ridiculously rich man… and for a fleeting moment, so was the farmer when he stumbled across several containers brimming with money.
A few years back, reports emerged in Colombia claiming that Cartolos had found a whopping $600million in cash after a day of digging up his land.
He is said to have received a $3,000 grant from the country’s government to create a palm oil plantation on his family’s property and he was in the middle of making a trench for irrigation purposes when he made the discovery.
The story goes that, at some point, his shovel hit a large, blue container – and when he took a closer look, he found a few more.
