Outlandish Endeavours

20.05.12 Says it was about $10,000 which at the time wasn’t nothing. He took himself to New York to spend it. Then he drove to San Francisco and moved in with a Chinese call girl. Three months later, down to his last $150, he decided to cycle home to Argentina. He made it to Guatemala where he abandoned his bike and hitched to Panama where he fell in with a group of artists. ‘This was my beatnik phase. For three months I lived like a bum.’

Then he fell in with a smuggler known as the Pirate. ‘I went all over the world, smuggling guns, whiskey, and cigarettes. Over the next three years I learned navigation and made my first million.’ Eventually tiring of the low life on the high seas, he ‘arranged a hijacking of his own ship’, Crutchlow and Boga write, ‘with a man who claimed he wanted revenge against John’s boss’. It didn’t go entirely as planned: ‘I had my mask, flippers, and false passport all set to go. I swam five miles to get away. The others didn’t have a chance.’
