I discovered something crazy about Escobar's hidden fortune that really shows how absurd this system is.

At the peak of his empire, the guy was making so much money that he was literally losing billions every year—not confiscated by the cops, no, eaten by rats. Yes, rodents that devoured his cash hidden in the walls, buried all over, stored in secret warehouses. When you have so much cash that you can't launder it fast enough, problems become surreal: rats, humidity, decomposition.

But here’s the craziest part: even with these crazy losses, Escobar’s fortune still earned him about $420 million a week. Imagine that—losing billions to tiny rodents and it’s not even a problem for your cash flow. For the "King of Cocaine," money was literally disposable.

It’s wild to see how Escobar’s wealth was so massive that conventional losses became insignificant. It puts into perspective what a criminal empire of this scale really represents.

And meanwhile, look at the crypto markets today: BTC hovers around $68.36k (-1.75%), BNB at $597.40 (-1.40%), XRP at $1.31 (-3.25%). Normal price movements in a regulated market. Not bad as a contrast to bills being eaten by rats.

What would you do with such a fortune? Would you just accept the losses as a business cost, or would you look for more... creative solutions?
