Talk:Cali Cartel

message: This page needs fixing pretty badly, but there are too many things wrong to use all of their templates.  It needs wikifying, it needs sources, and it needs to be edited for proper tone.  It looks to me like original research, but this isn't my field of expertise.

thread_title:  Is 1998 the end date? 

message: The parts about "Jorge Alberto Rodriguez" and "The 400" are largely fabricated.
(1) Jorge Alberto Rodriguez Herrera (JARH) is a real person and is related to the Rodriguez Orejuela brothers. JARH was deported by US authorities after he tried to enter New York in 1995 and was listed as Specially Designated Narcotics Trafficker by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) in 2003. In 2006 JARH was among the 28 family members of Rodriguez Orejuela brothers who signed an agreement with the US authorities regarding the forfeiture of Cali Cartel assets and in 2009 was removed from OFAC's trafficker list. No connection is established between the identities of JARH and Jorge Alberto Rodriguez (JAR), who as per this Wikipedia article (rev. 799486057, 09/09/2017) "was arrested after attempting to import 100 kilos of cocaine into Tallahassee, Florida". Indeed, such a connection would be most unlikely considering JAR was already presumably prisoned when JARH tried to enter the country in 1995.
(2) No source listed in this article establishes (a) a connection between JAR and the Cali Cartel. No source listed in this article provides proof (b) that JARH participated in the criminal activities described in this article. No source listed in this article even (c) mentions "The 400". Actually I was unable to find one single source not obviously originating from this article or the Jorge Alberto Rodriguez article supporting (a) or (b) or doing (c).

replies: text: Hello. Can you briefly state what is the problem? Is Jorge Alberto Rodriguez Herrera (JARH) real or a character fabricated for the series NARCOS?  -BatteryIncluded (talk) 18:08, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem: "Jorge Alberto Rodriguez", as presented in this article and the Jorge Alberto Rodriguez article, is a fabricated person--a Wikipedia hoax (nothing to do with NARCOS). This fabrication is partly based on two different and real identities, JAR and JARH. As far as the sources tell, JAR and JARH are not particularly notable people; JAR was an ordinary drug smuggler, JARH is a relative of former Cali Cartel leaders. "Jorge Alberto Rodriguez" (the fabrication) is then connected to completely made-up stuff, e.g. "The 400".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.90.44.25 (talk) 19:05, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
