Mr. Blandon, how much money did you take in from cocaine sales while you were working for the US government?

One and a half billion dollars.
Danilo Blandon:
That's correct.
Alan Fenster:
What did you do with that money?
Danilo Blandon:
We made so much money, we had to keep an apartment just to keep the cash. It was floor to ceiling dollars. We had to rotate the money from the top to the bottom to prevent mold from coming on the money from the humidity.
