QUOTE
As Jung had initially feared, by going straight through Richard Barile, Lehder no longer needed Jung in his operation. However, Jung recovered from the betrayal and found other schemes that made him more than $100 million.
Jung was later arrested in Massachusetts in 1987 at his mansion on Nauset Beach,[citation needed] near Chatham. With his family, he skipped bail, but very quickly became involved in another deal, where he was betrayed by a pilot of his acquaintance. During this time, Carlos Lehder began cooperating with the government against Noriega. With Escobar's approval, Jung agreed to testify against Carlos Lehder and was set free. Lehder received life plus 135 years but after making a deal with the federal government, he went into the Bureau of Prisons' version of the federal Witness Protection Program.
After working some "clean" jobs, Jung began to work in the marijuana business again. In 1994 he reconnected with his old Mexican marijuana smuggling partner and was arrested with 500 pounds of Mexican marijuana and faced a 15 year mandatory sentence. He pleaded guilty to three counts of conspiracy. He is incarcerated at The Federal Medical Center (FMC) Devens in Massachusetts[1]. He is scheduled to be released on November 27, 2014, at age 72. After his release, he will still have eight years of parole.

Now the first sentence, in accordance with the movie, is true. So is the beginning of the article...it all matches the movie pretty accurately. But then...the other schemes that made him over 100 mil, and the re-smuggling of weed, or even Lehder's fate (which doesnt really bother me because its a movie about Jung). Those parts were never in the movie. If they had to cut it out for time, I can understand...but they really just made him look like a zero with no life or money after he got out of jail the second time. Not a multimillionaire and someone back in the smuggling game.
