Max Mermelstein, America's Former Cocaine King, Comes Out of Hiding

Bedtime Reading from the Village Voice Empire: Max Mermelstein was the Jewish smuggler who pioneered the cocaine pipeline from Medellín to Miami. But it all came crashing down when he ratted his partners and went into hiding, a $3 million bounty on his head.
Miami New Times has the story.
I have an interesting comment, but Pete (The Square) will probably just delete it so fuck it.

Please be more professional when reporting. FYI, I am not a Jew!

You may as well just load up on all the other pointless adjectives you could think of as well e.g male, graying, bearded, presumably right handed, glasses wearing, caucasian, smuggler.
