Jack Laurence

Eventually, he makes his way to Tenerife, where he gets a job in a bar.

And it's while working in this bar that he would make a contact, a contact that would eventually lead him down the path to becoming a very big player in the world of cocaine trafficking.

However, it didn't just happen overnight.

Jim says he's often asked if he felt bad about selling cocaine.

And the simple answer is that at the time, no, he didn't.

The one thing I quickly learnt about Jim is he's no showboater.

He's not here to big-note himself as some mastermind of a criminal empire, name-dropping celebrities he hung out with, or in fact getting into the nitty-gritty of just how much cocaine he was in fact selling.

What sort of levels are we talking at did you get to with your selling of drugs?

How much were you buying and selling at one point?

So you literally, there was no middleman, no one else involved.

It was you from start to finish.

Yeah.

So there was no one that, yeah, as you said, there's no one that can potentially screw you over.

No.

Obviously, eventually you did get caught.

But at any stage, did you think about giving up?

Because I'm sure you were making a fair amount of money.

Did you get to a point where you went, you know what?

I've got enough cash here.

I might just call.
