Didn't notice at first but the story was from March of 2018 not '19 doh!
But now that I've watched it, I want to share a few clips. ^^

Tarzan started off as a rando mob enforcer in Brighton Beach. After his partner was murdered he decided to move to Miami where he was introduced to Juan Almeida, a shadly local businessman.
They eventually met up with Colombian drug runner close associate of Pablo Escobar. Tony Yester.
They started doing deals in Russia for Helicopters and other cheap Russian goods. When trying to leave Moscow, they were stopped by mob thugs who wanted a cut. Tarzan convinced them they knew Escobar and could get them in the cocaine game. Almeida played the part. This worked 😂
This raised some big time red flags for authorities as you can imagine, so they sent in an undercover agent to track their activities.
Eventually they tried to broker a deal for a submarine from Russia for the Medellin cartel to help traffic even more drugs. Of course, the undercover agent was already reporting back everything he was hearing, including these pictures they took on board the sub.
The heat was on and it was only a matter of time before the 3 were busted. Tony decided to take the money from the Colombians and split. He actually tried to get the rest of it later. 😬 Tarzan was eventually arrested and subsequently flipped on the 2 after 18 months in custody.
Tarzan was deported and later recanted his testimony leading to Almeida getting off on the charges. Yester remains an international fugitive.
As happens usually, the life is glamourized a bit, but It's definitely worth a watch. ^^
