Wow. Well I know he was fighting extradition to the US. Guess maybe he figured his goose was cooked.
Strange guy. Strange life.

He was such an odd man. It sucks he got caught up in drugs and arms dealing. I don't know if any of that is true or not as I don't think he ever stood trial.
If you haven't see it, this video is something to behold:
