Honor Among Thieves | True Crime & Crime Stories

OG BBE joins **Honor Among Thieves Podcast** to share how growing up in a family of Miami kingpins shaped his own entry into the drug game. From his father’s street connections to his brother Boss Man Sawyer’s reputation and his uncle’s cocaine business, he describes a childhood surrounded by money, influence, addiction, and prison sentences. He explains what it meant to carry his family’s name—and how he eventually started hustling himself.

Starting as a lookout at approximately 12 years old, OG BBE recounts his progression from earning $200 a week to what he describes as $10,000 nights selling crack cocaine in Miami. He discusses dealing through a hurricane, operating on a corner where his brother had once sold drugs, and eventually moving into wholesale cocaine with his uncle as his supplier. Along the way, he reflects on the gambling, expensive cars, robberies, and violence that accompanied his rise in Miami’s drug trade.

The conversation follows his arrest, a retaliatory shooting at his mother’s house, and his time in Florida state prison, including Santa Rosa Correctional Institution. OG BBE also opens up about losing his uncle shortly before his release, taking responsibility for the people he hurt, and building a different life through fatherhood and music. This episode explores Miami crime history through one man’s account of family influence, drug trafficking, incarceration, and redemption.

Teflon joins host Nelson Rodriguez Jr. on Episode 99 of the Honor Among Thieves Podcast to share his account of a California-to-Miami marijuana trafficking operation built through Mexican suppliers and connections across Miami’s neighborhoods. What began with a single pound grew into a distribution network supplying customers in Liberty City, Overtown, and beyond. Teflon describes transporting 100 pounds of marijuana at a time, handling large cash payments, and the relationships that kept the operation running.

From his upbringing in Miami’s Scott Projects to his years in the drug trade, Teflon recounts how his brother’s connection in California opened the door to increasingly larger suppliers. He discusses the Mexican supplier known as Chulo, a Miami strip-club outing that ended in an armed robbery and shootout, and his brother’s eventual arrest in California. He also explains how the operation evolved from “popcorn” marijuana to higher-priced exotic strains, bringing new customers, competition, and financial risks.

Behind the drug money and nightlife, Teflon says he continued working a $7.50-an-hour job while spending much of what he earned trafficking marijuana. He reflects on the millions he estimates he squandered, the money dispute that cut off his final supply connection, and his transition into running a legitimate home-remodeling company. Watch the full conversation for a firsthand account of marijuana smuggling, Miami’s drug trade, loyalty, and life after the hustle.

Two months after leaving prison, Erwin says he was facing 15 new felony charges. In Episode 98 of Honor Among Thieves Podcast, he joins host Nelson Rodriguez Jr. to recount a life shaped by armed robberies, drug dealing, addiction, and repeated incarceration. From committing robberies at 15 to navigating Miami’s streets during the 1990s and 2000s, Erwin shares how his criminal activity escalated—and what it cost him.

Rebecca Castaneda, known as the Narco Attorney, joins Nelson Rodriguez Jr. on Honor Among Thieves Podcast to discuss the deals cartel defendants make with the federal government. A former federal prosecutor and U.S. Coast Guard attorney, Rebecca shares her perspective on drug trafficking investigations, sealed plea agreements, confidential cooperation, extradition, and federal sentencing. Drawing on experience from both sides of the courtroom, she explains how information becomes valuable—and why the public record may reveal only part of a criminal case.

Rebecca describes prosecuting cases involving approximately $2.3 billion worth of drugs before moving into criminal defense. She recounts winning an acquittal for a client who faced life imprisonment after spending four years in custody, in a trial featuring 34 government witnesses. She also shares stories from visiting clients in Colombian and Guatemalan prisons, including her account of expensive prison apartments, and discusses the challenges of representing defendants in international narcotics cases.

The conversation also covers El Mayo Zambada, El Chapo, and questions surrounding cartel cooperation, with Rebecca explaining general legal processes rather than claiming inside knowledge of El Mayo’s defense. Nelson and Rebecca discuss cocaine trafficking, narco submarines, changing smuggling routes, and why she believes the war on drugs has failed to stop the cocaine trade. Beyond the courtroom, she reflects on the families affected by extradition, lengthy prison sentences, and the possibility of redemption.
