The Legend of Bum Farto and the Florida Keys Cocaine
Manage episode 440371831 series 2785061
Something about Bum Farto, Key West’s fire chief, stunk. And it wasn’t just his red suits, bling and lime green company car. By the early 70s Florida’s farthest-flung outpost was a lawless drug enclave. And Bum was smack bang in its center.
((NOTE: This isn't just our best episode, it might be the podcast episode ever, in the history of podcasts.))
When the state’s governor dispatched a multi-agency task force to Key West, however, they stumbled on something far darker than an errant Farto. Out poured a world of murder, mafiosi and massive shipments. What happened next remains a mystery to this day.
