The drug industry is a dynamic force of nature. The sales of drugs can provide you with residual income if the customer is dependent on the drug. Legal or illegal, I have seen people I know from both ends of the spectrum make a successful living off of this industry. Where most people fail, few succeed. These next few articles share with you an in depth look at how it has helped shape the lives of a couple people I personally know.

A Tale of a Man Who was Successful at Selling Drugs
When I was unemployed for a number of years after receiving my hard earned college degree, I contemplated the potential financial incentives to pursue the Street Pharmaceuticals Industry. From personal experiences, I realized most “drug dealers” were pretty poor. One local was notorious for riding his bike and selling drugs. But then there were the exceptional ones.
I over heard a friend one day reveal his secret tale of drug dealing and how he was able to make a lot of money doing it. He always had money and to be honest, most people suspected he was up to something illegal but unlike most street thugs, he actually had money.

His claim to fame came through inheritance. His mentor was an organized dealer nearby and showed him bits and parts of the business he had set up throughout his lifetime. And like the classic story goes, the big dealer eventually dies and Juanito Alemania, his son-like mentee, inherits the business. Inheriting a business is not like inheriting money. The difference is, you actually have to work to keep your flow of income.

Saddened by the loss of his mentor, Alemania had to take over his business. Who else knew the business he had set up? And besides, maintaining the business was almost like paying homage to his heroe.

So Alemania continued to do business and started to make a lot of money! He began to realize the potential threat of tax fraud but on the otherhand could easily pay for cars and furniture with cash. He ended up involving his uncle to help him transfer the money into a bank account. (storing the money in the walls of his parents house was becoming a nuisance.) His uncle was a professional. Probably went to college, if not, he sure has the career of a college grad. They devised a system where Alemania would give large amounts of cash to his uncle so that he could deposit it into the bank. Since his uncle made a lot of money, he could write him a check or transfer over his payroll stub to his nephew. It would appear on paper as nothing more than a transaction at your local credit union, after all, millions of people cash their checks at credit unions on a weekly basis.

With the support of his family, Alemania was set. Pretty soon he was saving money and collecting interest! (Genius!) Sure his job was a little dangerous, he even shared with me the time that made him “change” (which I was to assume was the time he stopped selling). It was one summer day when he was driving around town with his wife and kid, he came to an intersection with a disgruntled client. I can’t remember if it was a gunshot through the windshield or a fight, but it was the defining moment that he saw his family’s life was in danger. He went on to say that he remembered the guy and had some “people” get him. He describes a mafia-esque style movie to me where his guys hold this disgruntled client and he proceeds to kick his ass.

After that incident where his family was put in danger, he moved out of town and into a much nicer area. He always had a “real job” so his savings had grown quite successfully. He eventually had a house built for his family and even purchased one of those huge SUV’s with 22″ rims. (Thats cool in my country.) His kids get to experience the coolest concerts and he sports designer clothes on daily basis.

Some years later, I graduated from college, and everyone started treating me more like a man. He was no exception. He told me that if I ever had a business idea, he had the money to fund it; all I had to do was to write him up a business proposal. It’s not like you can just get rid of the entrepreneur bug once you’ve been bit.

Had this man become a successful drug dealer by making his money and moving on? I was amazed by the thought.

I assumed he got out of the drug business because he got into other business ventures like selling designer clothes and flipping houses, and he was no longer on the streets.

To be successful selling illegal drugs you need to know where to draw the line. I think he was good at that because to this day he sports nice things and offers his family the best a man can offer.
