Jhon Jairo Velasquez Vasquez alias "Popeye" was once the Medellin Cartel's chief hitman and Pablo Escobar's most trusted lieutenant. After 23 years in jail-he was released and became a social media star. Since interviewing him in November of 2017, we watched Popeye grab headlines and create controversy with his narrative. From parties raided by cops, to his Narco-tours of Medellin. In late May, just days away from Colombia's presidential election, Popeye inserts himself into the fray. And then, everything changes. www.thesicarioeffect.com
