Author, Jesse Fink talks with AFIO President, James Hughes about his new book, "The Eagle in the Mirror: The Greatest Spy Story Never Told" on Charles Howard "Dick" Ellis, MI6's Top Agent in America During World War II. In search of war hero, master spy, and alleged traitor Charles Howard "Dick" Ellis. Interview of Tuesday, 1 Oct 2024. Host: AFIO President James Hughes, a former senior CIA Operations Officer.
On today's episode, Vince sits down with Luis Navia, a former Cuban-American drug trafficker who played a central role in the international cocaine trade for over 25 years, and Jesse Fink, the author who chronicled Luis's story. Born in Cuba, Luis fled to Miami with his family after Castro's takeover in 1959. Raised in privilege, he attended private schools and Georgetown University before becoming involved in drug trafficking in the 1970s. Known in South American cocaine circles as “El Senador,” Luis worked with powerful cartels, including Escobar's Medellín cartel, the Cali cartel, and Venezuela's Cartel de los Soles, building extensive smuggling networks across Latin America, the Caribbean, and the U.S. In 2000, Luis was arrested in a global operation that involved the DEA, FBI, and Colombian authorities. After being held accountable for over 10 tons of cocaine, he cooperated with U.S. authorities, providing critical information on cartel operations and serving five years in prison. Together, Luis and Jesse share insights into the dangerous world of drug trafficking, the decisions that led to Luis's rise and fall, and the lessons learned along the way.

Jesse Fink is the author of 6 books, including 'The Youngs,' 'Pure Narco,' 'Bon,' and his latest book, 'The Eagle in the Mirror'. Fink shares his incredible literary journey that saw him spend a decade chronicling AC/DC, delving deep into Pablo Escobar's cocaine empire, and most recently, uncovering the secrets of Dick Ellis, the top spy of MI6 during World War 2. Ellis is a controversial figure, accused of being a triple agent—allegedly working for the Allies, the Nazis, and the Soviets. Fink discusses how the Americans recognized Ellis's contributions, yet his reputation suffered in the aftermath of the war. Nonetheless, Ellis played a pivotal role in the formation of the CIA, the premier agency in global intelligence and counterintelligence today.

In A SPECIAL EDITION episode, we observe the death date (2/19/1980) of the late great Bon Scott. We present an interview with Jesse Fink, the author of BON: LAST HIGHWAY. Unlike other ACDC or Bon Scott books, BON: THE LAST HIGHWAY concentrates solely on the last two years of Bon's Life. late 1977- Feb 1980. We discuss Jesse's extensive research process, the measure he took to interview people THAT met Bon during this period. Dozen's of underlying questions that have never been addressed , let alone answered. Jesse concludes that Scott died of much more than the official cause: acute alcohol poisoning. New information regarding the widespread speculation that Scott contributed uncredited lyrics to the AC/DC album Back in Black. Why was Back in Black included on the Bonfire boxed set if Bon wasn't involved? Why does the Scott family collect royalties for Back In Black?

Bon Scott author Jesse Fink guests on this brand new Fake Show podcast with host Jim Tofte...enjoy!!!
On our first show we explore the 1980 death of AC/DC lead signer Bon Scott. Known for his hard drinking lifestyle, Scott's energy and unbridled showmanship had helped drive AC/DC to the brink of massive stardom by the close of 1979. Yet Scott wasn't happy with the band or his party lifestyle. Having just scored their first true success in America with the "Highway to Hell" album and prime touring dates, the band set apart and Bon ended up hanging out in London. He'd never make it out alive. GUEST: Author Jesse Fink's updated biography of the enigmatic singer, Bon: The Last Highway, exhaustively researches Bon's time in the U.S. that previous summer and follows it through to his last moments in the backseat of a car in London. Fink's investigative work uncovers never-before heard statements and stories from key players who were present the night of Scott's death who all prove the rock icon didn't die from too much alcohol but a drug overdose instead. Also, Fink's research uncovers Scott's writing and contribution to the band's breakout album "Back in Black", released several months after his death. Could Scott's lyrics be on the album uncredited?

Luis Navia worked for nearly 25 years as a cocaine trafficker for the deadliest Colombian and Mexican cartels until the law caught up with him in 2000. He is the co-author (with Jesse Fink) of Pure Narco: One Man's True Story of 25 Years Inside the Cartels. What We Discuss with Luis Navia: Why did Luis Navia -- a Georgetown student and the privileged son of an affluent sugar trader -- get involved in the illicit international cocaine trade with the most ruthless and infamous Mexican and Colombian drug cartels? How did Luis move between 200 to 300 tons of cocaine (roughly worth $10 billion) over the course of 25 years -- and live to tell the tale? Why did Luis insist on carrying out his business without a weapon -- in spite of being regularly surrounded by the perpetrators of unimaginably brutal violence? What are the logistics for smuggling massive amounts of cocaine over international borders with limited space and personnel? How did Operation Journey, an anti-narcotics effort coordinated across 12 nations and led by the United States and Great Britain, finally put an end to Luis' lucrative cocaine trafficking career? And much more...

Luis Navia spent 25 years working as a cocaine trafficker for the deadliest Columbian and Mexican cartels, including Pablo Escobar's Medellin Cartel, before his arrest in Venezuela in 2000. And now Luis Navia, with some help from journalist Jesse Fink, has written a book, “Pure Narco,” about his incredible story. Luis and Jesse recount some of the tales from Luis' 25 years in the drug business from how this rich kid, Georgetown University graduate ever got involved in the drug trade to being with to how he grew his trafficking empire until his arrest.

'If Howard Marks was the king of the cannabis smuggle, Luis Navia is the Howard Marks of the cocaine trade.' - GRAHAM HONEY, HMCE Senior Investigation Officer (Ret.) 'With a cast of wild, grotesque and often deadly characters, strapped into a rollercoaster they cannot or will not get off, PURE NARCO is a deliriously pleasurable ride. Luis Navia was a key trafficker for the biggest Colombian and Mexican cartels, and his insight into how they flooded the USA and Europe with drugs is unparalleled. This is the best insider account ever written of the global cocaine trade and the outrageous but precarious lives of those at the top.' - PETER WALSH, author of DRUG WAR: THE SECRET HISTORY 'PURE NARCO is a true story of redemption ... it offers a rare glimpse into the life of a drug smuggler from the MIAMI VICE era to the end of the millennium, when it all came crashing down for Luis Navia.' - NIGEL BROOKS, USCS Senior Special Agent (Ret.) 'A rare insight into the drug traffickers' world and law enforcement's efforts to arrest them and seize the drugs.' - GRAHAM TITMUSS, HMCE Investigation Officer (Ret.) 'Luis Navia was one of the biggest drug traffickers ever known - but never heard of. Jesse Fink's in-depth, entertaining and informative account of Luis's life during the height of the cocaine trade in the United States in the 1980s and '90s is like a speck in the eyes of a race-car driver moving at 200 miles an hour, albeit a large speck.

Luis Navia smuggled over 300 tons of cocaine for the biggest Colombian & Mexican cartels including Pablo Escobar's Medellín Cartel. The book Pure Narco is the true life story of Luis Navia, also known as 'El Senador' (The Senator). In this fascinating conversation we hear from the man who smuggled over $10 billion worth of product for the worlds biggest cartels and lived to tell his story. We discuss with Luis his lifestyle as a smuggler, the logistics of these huge operations, working for Pablo, his drive to make his father proud, his sacrifice for the thrill of more, and then his ultimate international capture in Operation Journey. When people ask Luis what he does today how does he like to reply? Why Luis felt uncomfortable being called a Narco, yet the book title is Pure Narco? When a drug trafficker turns government informant they either end up in prison or dead. Why does Luis believe he is here? The most fatal of attractions. How Luis fell in with the Medellín Cartel, the most violent criminal organisation in the world through a beautiful woman. There were few men who influenced Luis heavily. One was a killer named Poli. Probably the most famous name Luis worked for was Pablo Escobar. Why did he never feel he would ever be a target to Pablo? What impact did the affluent surroundings growing up as a kid have on his character, beliefs and values? Was dressing well a character trait Luis used as a symbol of acknowledgement to his Father? Did his Father ever tell him he was proud of him or that he loved Luis? His father was such a strong figure in his life but he felt he betrayed his values by entering a life of crime. What regrets does he carry? The theme though the book is Luis chasing deals to prove something. What was he looking to prove? How did his Mother influence his character? Luis believes his parents should have applied heavy braces on him, and they didn't. Would that have worked? The inner struggle of the law-abiding American citizen or South American bandido. The tightrope knowing he could go to prison and not see his children but wanting to smuggle and live that life of the Bandido. The day Luis came face-to-face with Robert Harley, the man who'd been looking for him for nigh on a decade. Does he still look over his shoulder or watch the door in a restaurant for fear of retribution? Did writing the book help Luis understand his journey? Why did Luis trust Jesse to tell his story? Why was now the right time for Luis to do the book?

In Episode 042, Jesse Fink - International Bestselling Author known for his work, "The Youngs..." and "Bon: The Last Highway...", discusses his personal AC/DC needle-drop moment, upcoming AC/DC album #PWRUP, the private nature of the AC/DC camp, the future of Rock n' Roll, and more!
Jesse Fink in his book Pure Narco, shares the true story of Luis Navia known as 'El Senador' (The Senator) who smuggled over 300 tons of cocaine for the biggest Colombia & Mexico cartels including Pablo Escobar's Medellín Cartel. Jesse spent years with Luis to understand the logistics of these huge operations, the dichotomy of a guy driven to make his father proud, what he was willing to sacrifice for the next big shipment, as well as the moment relentless USA law-enforcement officials finally took him down. It's a white-powdered, white-knuckle ride you'll never forget. Jesse explains his take on his new book. What gave Jesse a true sense of who Luis Navia is and just the magnitude of his life and his deals? Luis had his own motivations for telling his story. Why? Why now? How did Jesse build the trust with a guy who is always looking over his shoulder, to have the trust to share his story? Luis almost took exception to being labelled a Narco… even the title took some discussion. How did he see his identity, how did he see himself? Did the telling of his story draw out any remorse or regret in his mind about the life Luis led? Did the story of Luis Navia have an effect on Jesse and his own life as a man? Can Jesse see any of himself in Luis? Luis was driven by a desire to prove himself to his father. Did Jesse feel as though in some way Luis failed to make his father proud? The book is a tale about money, what it means to be “rich”, and knowing when enough is enough. What's' the dichotomy of Luis? Jesse explains the different sides he found in Luis. Where does Jesse's curious thirst for a story come from? OCD is sometimes called the ‘doubter's disease'. When Jesse is so heavily involved in a book, does a distortion start to infiltrate his thinking based on his own OCD? Did Jesse ever find himself looking over his shoulder, consciously or unconsciously wondering if he was being watched or followed? “The Narco world is more complicated that you think.” What did Jesse learn about Narco operations that can be applied to business operation?

It was a tropical night in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, and 45-year-old Luis Navia’s 25-year stint as a narco (a drug trafficker) was coming to an end. Ever since he’d first tried the stuff as a young man, Luis had dealt large quantities of cocaine. It was the era of Pablo Escobar, of the Netflix series Narcos, of Miami Vice, Scar Face and American Made. So much has been written and explored about the cocaine market of the late 20th Century but until now, none of those stories properly included Luis Navia. Pursued for more than 12 years, Luis’ time on the run was drawing to a close. Luis would walk out the front doors of Tamanaco InterContinental airport and wait for a taxi. He didn’t know that he was about to be captured by the National Guard of Venezuela. He’d be threatened with a scalpel. Once arrested, Luis was sent back to Florida where he would finally face justice. It’s where he had studied at university and where his parents lived. He emerged from the airport in a white shirt, khaki pants and brown shoes, looking like he didn’t have a care in the world. If he felt anything, it was relief. His life for so many years had been one of secrets. He’d been held over a pit of crocodiles. He’d spent more money than anyone could ever dream of. No one, at that moment at least, knew his full story. Until it was told by Jesse Fink.

AC/DC’s Bon Scott died under mysterious circumstances on February 19, 1980 at the age of 33, and Australian writer Jesse Fink spent years researching the singer’s life and death. Jesse spoke with family members, former girlfriends, close friends, AC/DC management, and tried multiple times to interview band members. He released his thorough research in a new book called, “Bon The Last Highway: The Untold Story of Bon Scott And AC/DC’s Back In Black.” And Jesse shares some of his findings, theories, and stories about Bon, his life, his death, and the possible cover-up. Jesse also explains why he believes that Bon Scott contributed songs and lyrics to the “Back In Black” album, the first to feature new singer Brian Johnston, despite the Young brothers claim that Bon had no involvement before his passing. It’s a fascinating conversation about one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, most charismatic front man in rock history.
Jesse Fink is an international bestselling author of Bon: The Last Highway, a biography of legendary AC/DC singer Bon Scott. The book uncovers the mystery of Bon's death and delves into who wrote Back in Black, one the biggest selling rock albums ever. There are valuable takeaways for today's business leaders, considering AC/DC created such an outstanding brand that endures. Our whole team is in the studio...what could go wrong!
