    Undercover Miami Cop Exposes the 1980s Nightclub Drug Trade
    2026/07/30
    Retired undercover officer Lou Terminello takes us inside Miami’s nightlife during the 1980s, when cocaine, nightclubs, strip clubs, bars, and organized drug activity were deeply connected to the city’s entertainment scene. In Episode 78 of Honor Among Thieves Podcast, Lou explains how he worked undercover for the State of Florida’s Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco, infiltrating nightlife businesses suspected of allowing or participating in illegal drug sales. His job was not simply to arrest the dealer. Lou had to enter bars, clubs, and adult-entertainment businesses under a false identity, gain the trust of employees and owners, document the drug activity, make arrests, and gather enough evidence for the state to suspend or revoke the establishment’s liquor license. Lou reveals how these undercover sting operations worked, how officers built cases inside crowded Miami clubs, and what happened when business owners knowingly allowed cocaine and other illegal drugs to be sold on their property. The conversation explores: Undercover police work in 1980s Miami Cocaine sales inside bars, nightclubs, and strip clubs How undercover officers gained the trust of dealers Drug stings targeting Miami nightlife businesses Arresting employees, dealers, and business owners Suspending liquor licenses after narcotics investigations The dangers of carrying out undercover operations without being exposed Miami’s cocaine-fueled nightlife during the Cocaine Cowboys era Automatic weapons, violent traffickers, and unpredictable drug deals How law enforcement investigated businesses connected to illegal drugs The psychological pressure of living behind a false identity Lou’s most dangerous and unforgettable undercover cases Lou also explains the difference between targeting an individual drug dealer and building a case against an entire business. To shut a club down, investigators had to prove that management knew what was happening—or was directly involved. This episode provides a rare firsthand look at the law-enforcement side of Miami’s criminal underworld during one of the most notorious periods in the city’s history.

  • The Wildest Drug Smuggling Stories From a South Florida RICO Kingpin

    The Wildest Drug Smuggling Stories From a South Florida RICO Kingpin
    2026/07/26
    Ken Behr says he moved 1,000- to 2,000-pound marijuana loads, trafficked more than 1,000 kilos of cocaine, and operated inside South Florida’s drug-smuggling world throughout the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s. In Episode 77 of Honor Among Thieves Podcast, Ken reveals how a teenage marijuana operation grew into a decades-long career involving offshore freighters, speedboats, private aircraft, millions of dollars in cash and connections to some of the biggest marijuana smugglers in American history. Ken describes arriving in South Florida during the height of the marijuana-smuggling era, when nearly everyone seemed to be involved in the drug trade. He explains how smugglers moved massive shipments from offshore freighters using Cigarette boats and sportfishing vessels, then transported the marijuana across the country in rental cars loaded with hundreds of pounds at a time. He also shares his firsthand memories of working around legendary smuggler Donnie Steinberg, whom Ken describes as one of the largest marijuana traffickers in U.S. history. According to Ken, Steinberg was connected to freighters carrying as much as 200,000 pounds of marijuana and once discussed multiple enormous shipments arriving in different parts of the country on the same day. Ken takes us inside the transition from marijuana to cocaine as South Florida entered the Cocaine Cowboys era. He discusses the price of a kilo in the early 1970s, moving cocaine in bulk, transporting suitcases filled with millions of dollars and the culture surrounding Fort Lauderdale and Miami nightlife—including the Mutiny Club, which he says inspired the Babylon Club in Scarface. The operation finally came crashing down after Ken’s second arrest in 1992, when prosecutors charged him under RICO and accused him of running an ongoing criminal enterprise. This episode covers: 1,000- to 2,000-pound marijuana loads More than 1,000 kilos of cocaine South Florida drug smuggling in the 1970s and 1980s Offshore freighters carrying massive marijuana shipments Cigarette boats and high-speed smuggling operations Donnie Steinberg and the underground marijuana empire Flying millions of dollars to the Cayman Islands The rise of cocaine trafficking in South Florida The Mutiny Club and its connection to Scarface Federal investigations, RICO charges and Ken’s 1992 arrest The money, danger and consequences of becoming a major drug trafficker Ken Behr’s story offers a firsthand look at the real South Florida smuggling era that existed before the movies, documentaries and legends.
