So I can't find a crime that's recent but I know of a crime that was committed by George Jung. George Jung was a the reason marijuana and cocaine are big in the United States. He believed when he was a child that he wouldn't end up like his parents. George's mother left his father multiple times because he wasn't bringing enough money home to keep her "happy". One Christmas Eve she decided to come home for good. George wasn't happy about it and refused to let her into his life. As George had gotten older him and his friend Tuna moved to California to start a new life and was introduced to the life of marijuana. George met a young lady and she showed him where to get the "goods" she would call it. George became a small drug dealer with Tuna and making millions of dollars. But to George that wasn't enough for him. He decided to take his new girlfriend and Tuna to Mexico not knowing any Spanish, and went on a adventure to find a larger hook up on the Marijuana. After long weeks and days of trying to find it they finally got it. Moving large amount of the illegal plant back from Mexico with a stolen plane, George finally had the money he wanted. He bought a HUGE house and had the life he always wanted. One night he decided to bring his girlfriend to dinner with his parents and when he left he had gotten pulled over and caught with 6 brief cases full of marijuana. George was arrested and put on trial and was going to be sentenced for a year to a year and a half. When he was released after his court date he ran away with his girlfriend for six months because she was diagnosed with cancer. Six months later George came home to his parents to see them because he thought it was the only safe place to go. But what George didn't know was that his mother would call the FBI on him to get him arrested. George was arrested and met a young male from Colombia in prison. This Colombian man introduced George to a whole new world of drugs. After being released from prison George did the same thing and started pushing a new drug around the United States, Cocaine. George had lived his life going in and out of prison for months to years at a time. Finally when he meets a Colombian female she gets him to somewhat snap back into shape. They have a little girl together, but what George doesn't know is that his wife is a recovering coke head. She starts binging all over again and George gets involved into the drug world again, causing his multi-million dollar home to get raided. George's life was like his parents' and he didn't even realize it till this LAST time he went to prison. His wife left him along with their child. The last time he was released he got his life together but was broke as a joke. He made peace with his daughter and made promises to her and never broke them. Till he decided ONCE again to start a new life... back in California. He wanted to take his daughter with him but he had no money, so he started pushing Cocaine again. The last big drug deal he was set up by one of his friends and got arrested and sent to prison for 30 years. He won't be released until late 2014. Due to him not keeping his promise with his daughter he hasn't heard or seen her since the day he promised her. She hasn't visited him or anything. Also a week after he was sent to prison he made it clear to himself that he would never go back to the drug world. His dad passed away while he was in prison and had to make tape recordings of his voice so he could hear him talk for the last few breaths that he had. George's life now consists of eating oatmeal and depression. He has illusions of meeting new family members and his previous family members. Also to this day he hasn't seen his daughter. Will George Jung learn his lessons after 30 years? The world won't know until he is released. The drug wars might end or begin in new generation.
