Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=IamLookin;3075076]And this led up to being summoned to Federal Court and having to hire an expensive lawyer?

What was you defense? You wanted to save a few dollars on hookers?.[/QUOTE]Anyone who has never faced federal charges for an administrative or legal oversight they were unaware of likely does not understand how the federal court system operates. Sometimes, individuals are prosecuted for actions they did not realize were illegal. In many cases, the system simply requires you to enter a plea. Once that plea is submitted and accepted, the ordeal ends, though the process itself often feels designed to intimidate you.

To clarify my previous point: all of my assets have been returned, and my pension has been fully reinstated. As a result, I am financially secure and no longer need to work. The only setback was the three years it took to resolve the case in court. Once the plea was finalized, my funds and passport were immediately returned. Moving forward, I will not bring any excessive electronic devices back into Colombia. That is the end of the matter. Stay Vigilant. PN!

[QUOTE=HumbleHal;3074950]Thank you for a year old news link. Anything current, smart researcher?[/QUOTE]There is nothing new. They want the haggling off the streets along the Venezuelans and under age prostitutes out. It's been an ongoing effort for 18 months throughout the country and especially here with the new developments. I'm not being a smart ass I'm just highlighting what's been going.

After all that I've been through, what I actually find extremely strange is this: no matter how many times I've been to Colombia and passed through immigration, there is never a sign in the airport stating that bringing in more than three phones, tablets, or electronic devices is a federal crime.

​On the other hand, I use a shipping company to send electronics to my home in Colombia. I have a decent-sized house there, and it took me about two to two and a half years to ship all the electronics I wanted. I shipped everything from America, including over ten 85-inch televisions.

​One thing I noticed about the shipping company—especially when I shipped some items to Medellin earlier this year—is that they specifically warn you about the restrictions. While they let you ship things like beans, rice, clothing, or TVs, they explicitly state that if they find a single cell phone in your package, the entire shipment will be confiscated and you could face federal charges. They only told me this after the fact, but there is clearly a major issue with bringing cell phones into Colombia. Even the shipping companies make it a known rule: do not ship cell phones at all! Now you know! Stay Vigilant! PN!

What the shit is this? I am on my way to get some pussy and these mfs banned my account!

[QUOTE=IamLookin;3075171]Since you are bringing this up again. You had to go to US Federal Court for bringing in a few cellphones? Who seized your assets and why would your pension be in danger?[/QUOTE]Yes, all of this just isn't adding up. Totally doesn't pass the "smell" test. There's stuff being left out here I'm sure. Otherwise, it just doesn't make any sense.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;3075160]What the shit is this? I am on my way to get some pussy and these mfs banned my account![/QUOTE]Oof, that's rough! I know a couple of hoes that has happened to in the past. They told me that from that point on, they only discuss "business" via voice message when on Whatsapp, nothing about sex or money in text form.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;3075160]What the shit is this?

For the record, let's get back to talking about the girls in Colombia. Imagine that in the year 2018, you were introduced to about 50 different women. All of these women had children—some had two daughters, some had three, and some had one. That would still be 50 women plus at least 50 daughters.

​Now, imagine moving into an environment where you blend into the community. You are around them, and they see you over the course of eight years. Fast-forward eight years later: these girls are now between the ages of 18 and 20, and you know each and every one of them because they've all been to your house, partied with you, and celebrated birthdays with you. They know you, they know you are a mainstay, and they know you are doing financially decent because you've been in the same location for the last eight years without having to move.

​There is no real reason for me to look for girls in Centro anymore because I live in an environment where I am surrounded by so many young ladies that I can pick and choose who I would like to see. On the other hand, unless you've been living under a rock, what do 18-year-old girls love more than electronic devices? I'm just saying, if you put the time in to learn about the different cultures and actually move into a neighborhood where you can completely immerse yourself in the community, your options are absolutely limitless. You can have your pick of the litter without having to travel to parque Lleras & pay outrageous prices to see these girls; they'll be right there at your beck and call.

​Stay vigilant.

PN.

PN.[/QUOTE]That sounds like a really interesting strategy. I am thinking about retiring to Medellin. First of all, if you don't mind my asking, using your method how much do you spend on sex approximately? The nice brothels seem to be around 200 K per hour which sounded reasonable to me. So how much are you saving? A nice phone can cost hundreds of dollars, but how much does that get you? Secondly, would you recommend any neighborhood? My first thought was Laureles.

I've never had a girl from the neighborhood ask me for more than 60,000 to 100,000 pesos. I can go through and see them whenever I want; it's just that I have to make time because my girlfriend keeps an eye on me.

​You can have the pick of the litter and see as many as you want—it's all up to you. However, you have to get into a neighborhood where people know you're stable, not crazy or problematic, and that you're not going to harm anybody. Once they realize you're just an ordinary, everyday, average guy who is good for the neighborhood, you're going to see more women approach you than you ever imagined. Best of all, it's going to be at a far lower rate; I've never had a girl from the neighborhood ask me for 200,000 pesos. Not ever.

These girls do not care about having a brand-new, expensive phone; they just want to make sure it is somewhat new, has the box to show their friends that it was actually purchased, and came from America. They don't give a damn if it's an iPhone 11 Pro or a 12 Pro. They just want to show their friends that an American guy gave them something the local guys wouldn't dare give them. You don't have to buy an expensive phone—it just needs to be somewhat new and come with a box or packaging. I've never spent more than $100 on a phone, and I have gotten more out of it than you could ever imagine. Just don't have more than three phones in your luggage. Stay Vigilant. PN!

PN![/QUOTE]Now you're overselling it. Maybe 20 years ago this play might have worked but telling guys that you could just show up in a barrio and hand out cheap handsets and get pussy thrown at you is not true.

Maybe if you were a Colombian who moved back to Medellin it would work a little bit but bringing girls back to your house like that in Colombia? Colombia is actually very family oriented women who engage in sex work do it on the low, You bring more than 5 or 6 different girls to your place a week and people are going to start looking at you strange and assumptions will be made about any woman who even talks to you.

As an expat You can do this but only if you take those girls to short time hotels and you're discrete. And 60 to 100 K while possible is improbable especially in expensive ass Medellin. It's hard to get 100 K deals in Cali now so unless you're talking about drug addicts or Vennies that you see one time at some point a regular is going to look for a raise.

Finally depending on how Gringo a guy looks and their level of Spanish they'the stick out like a sore thumb while living in a sector 4 or 5 barrio isn't a death sentance when the Moto thieves come around they're going to target the gringo especially if he's handing out phones.

I'the say for the average Gringo thinking of moving down learn Spanish learn the culture, stay in the most secure area that you can afford no dar payaya in all ways even in mongering meaning don't make it obvious that you're a super monger and be aware of your surroundings.

Hope this Helps.

Trip.

So to clean this up maybe if you had no more than maybe 5 max regulars coming over a few times a week to your residence and if you mongered more taking the extras to a love hotel. 100 K in Medellin? Maybe getting a few desparate girls in Bello or somewhere and you'd have to vet the girls throughly and have to switch them out regularly. You'd also have to incentivize girls with tips to bring their friends to you unless you were stupid enough to try to recruit yourself. Even if you lived in a sector 3 area near a sector 4 area you're not getting girls in your barrio and you're definitely paying about 250 K in Medellin at the low end. Maybe if you were in Armenia 100 K would be fine but there's far less girls available.

I pay around 100 K in Cali and I have to negotiate hard and even then after awhile it creeps up especially when you factor in Transport. Actual single mothers are worst because after awile you start to get the sob stories and if you never contribute well they sell scopamine in kiosks in centro.

Hope this Helps.

Trip.

Neither can you ship one with US Postal Service. You can ship one with FedEx, but you must take it out of the box and they give you a fire retardant material to wrap it in and a special box to put that in.
