The preception of gringos HAS changed!
The reality is that 5 years ago Colombia welcomed the gringo. A gringo can and is any white skinned man be it Australian, European, Israeli, US guy or from where ever basically. Today the perception HAS completely changed. Gringos only come to fuck the Colombians on sex tours and drug addicts on drug binges.
It's sad but true. The perception is in fact in the process of shifting from single gringos being welcomed to Colombia to stay away you sex and drug addicted gringos.
This is just the start and the tip, it will get worse. I have my ears to the ground and have been watching this is like seeing a train wreck in the process.
So if your traveling to Colombia, any city be it MDE or Bogota or Cali or CTG, and your traveling alone or with another man (not a family) it is assumed now that your on a sex and or drug tourist vacation. This is especially true if your over 40 years of age.
Stay low and stay clear of drama and don't promote sex and drug tourism like these others have done. Big egos gets these boys into serious trouble and have any of you seen the inside of the overcrowded filthy Colombian prisons. It takes 4 years plus just to get to trial if you can live that long.
TTM.
Thoughts from a Casual Observer
Reading through the comments regarding ColombiaJake's arrest, it's easy to differentiate between those who formulated their responses using reason and logic and those who are just members of the ColombiaJake Cheer leading Squad. And to you ColombiaJake supporters, I ask this: now that he's been arrested on a serious charge of pimping less-than-legal-age girls, how many of you are going to donate money to him for his legal defense? After all, bros before hoes, right?
Personally, I didn't care that Jake charged for his services. You're always going to have mongers who are too busy working 40 hours a week or more at their jobs or mongers who are just too lazy to do the proper planning for a mongering trip. For those people, Jake was a safe bet and a sure thing to have a good time in Medellin.
Where I did have a problem with Jake was when he would get on this thread and tell mongers, "If you don't buy my services and sleep where I tell you to sleep and fuck the girls that I'm offering, you're going to be sleeping on a bench in Parque Lleras with a hard dick the entire time you're down here. " Read my report here on ISG regarding my trip to Medellin in October / November 2015. I had never visited Medellin in the past, yet I showed you didn't need ColombiaJake or the Mansion to have a good time in Medellin.
And let's be honest with ourselves, shall we? It doesn't matter if you're pimping less-than-legal-age girls or running tours to coffee farms in the countryside. You're going to have phone numbers and text messages of clients in your cell phone. You're going to have e-mail addresses and e-mails from clients on your laptop. You're going to have financial records of what your clients paid for services rendered. And as Surfer500 pointed out, "Jake probably also had copies of the Passports of all that stayed at his establishment. " You better believe that Colombian authorities will be poring over all that information in order to build a case against Jake.
Do we know that the charge of pimping less-than-legal-age girls against Jake is legitimate? No, but do you think Colombian authorities just woke up one day and decided to arrest a Jake for the hell of it? In all likelihood, Jake was on the radar for quite a while and Colombian authorities built a case against him over time. Look what happened to Cuba Dave in Costa Rica. The OIJ followed him around for days and captured pictures and video of him going into and coming out of one mongering spot after another in San Jose. To you mongers who used Jake's services over the past several months, you might very well be in pictures or on video with one of Jake's less-than-legal-age chicas on your lap in Parque Lleras.
The bottom line, gentlemen, is that the ColombiaJake party is over. Even if he beats the charge or charges against him in the Colombian court system, there's no way Colombia will let him remain in the country. He'll be deported back to his country of origin after everything is said and done and settled.
