^ watch the documentary again...Roberts involved in everything from making deals with Escobar and Griselda to delivering the product to laudering themoney...Griselda was just psychotic and only really came into the picture during the decline...Mikey Monday was the pilot...

dang this movie has much potential. However, drug/crime/mob movies always are a let down for the fact that you know how the end is going to be. I like seeingthe bad guys win.

they kinda did win...or as close to a win as you can get at that point in the game...they are out of jail and im pretty sure they still spending them samelil face 100s and 20s - they avoided the typical endings of death or life sentences...
documentary was crazy....with the right people in charge it shouldtranslate into a dope movie

This should be good. Does anyone know what happened to the Mi-Yayo movie that Rick Ross was doing?
He was talking about it in every mixtape song I have from him but I haven't heard a thing about it.
