The megasmuggler featured in the documentary Cocaine Cowboys had suffered through a lengthy battle with cancer. Originally from a Mafia-connected family in New York, Roberts served a tour in Vietnam. According to his memoir, he spent much of it skinning people alive. He made hundreds of millions of dollars smuggling cocaine for the Medellín Cartel into Miami in the '80s, and claimed to be a close crony of Pablo Escobar. Miami New Times has the story.
