Not only - AFAIR the Colombian Steve Jobs had problems with humidity too - 2.1 billion 80s' USD lost to flooding and rotting is what I would call real liquidity :D And also rats I think.

It’s extremely insulting to refer to Escobar as the Colombian Steve Jobs, if that is the connection you are making.

Escobar conservatively killed thousands of people. I wouldn't worry too much about insulting him.
