- Meet Posh Pete, an international cocaine smuggler from leafy Gloucestershire, England,
Pieter Tritton became an unlikely international drug kingpin until his arrest in Ecuador in 2005. He spent 9 years in some of the most dangerous prisons in South American before being released in 2015. He was nicknamed 'Posh Pete' by his underworld colleagues because of his incongruous appearance and accent.
We spoke to Pete about what it was like in one of the world's scariest prisons, how he became a drug trafficker, and what his life is like now.

He looks like he tested every batch
😂😂😂😂
WITH PLEASURE
What a surprise
What’s wrong with that fatty ???😂😂
AHHHAAHAHHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAH
Fair play to Peter Crouch for picking himself back up and lacing his boots again ⚽️🥅
Tom Scotland 😂😂😂
Lol🤣🤣🤣 I'm dead.
hahaha fucking legendary comment
Mate was thinkin if it was peter crouch when i saw the thumbnail😂😂
Lmao
He's incredibly cool and collected. I love how he talks about "negotiating with the FARC and blowing the prison wall with grenades" like it's just another dull day at the office.
if you have a lot of correctly held money waiting out , still have many years of jail time left , while having some connections with dangerous organized criminals like the kinds of connections you can make in jail , at that time , these sort of ideas become optional and some what possible depending on the police strength and control in that country.
l
"i just figured I might as well just start running it" i love his simple answers and you can tell by his face and his eyes that's he's being 100% serious, but he is so nonchalant about it, crazy...
thats how you knows hes an Alpha male.
This would be a sick Netflix series - just call it Posh Pete
@@paulbrady9686 lmao
😂😂😂😂👍
cousin of sneaky pete ?
this would somehow feel like british breaking bad
I like it 👌🏿
The fact posh Pete can talk so calmly about trafficking and being sent to a violent prison. Is about how normal we talk about sports. Unreal.
He’s a boss
When an experience is really traumatic people tend to put emotionnal barriers up. That s why a lot of rape victims are not believed when they come to the police because it looks like they are lying
Tanguy Laloy nah it's just cus they are lol
PSH
You need a bit of sociopathic traits to be a high-level criminal, so being calm under stress comes naturally.
I love how criminals get released and they decide they are going to make a career out of being an ex criminal
They often can't get a job any other way, people would pay to listen to his story, so it's not hard to see why.
Sometimes, they were just invited and thought “well this is quite interesting”. It’s not like this guy is starving, he’s now a cocoa businessman, but I imagine the added income must be nice.
I know, right. It's like a career pathway.
@@lodersracing9999% of criminals can’t do this, this guy was going to succeed at whatever he chose he just put his time into drugs and now with that same brain and determination he looked around reaccessed his life and took action on what he deemed to be the most lucrative path
10 years prior that exact same thought experiment leads to calling his cocaine dealer
IMO I havnt heard it yet but the biggest question people aren’t asking is
“We’re you an addict to any of these drugs during this time”
Cause that would make a big difference
Almost had an aneurysm reading those subtitles
Looks like tony hawk been hittin the pipe.

Don't you mean the "half pipe"?

Coke will always give you the confidence to bust out of prison with a grenade launcher :lol:
🤣🤣
Coke won't but crystal meth will you feel invincible on that shit. Never did it but one of my homies does that shit every once in a while
@@charleshaney7733 as stupid as it sounds I've tried coke about 20 to 30 times and crystal meth twice in my life. I was just about to respond to this comment. Coke doesn't give you confidence and yes one thing I always tell everyone is that crystal meth makes you feel invincible extremely confident and powerful!
@@jr.rangeeel7624 Yikes. You sound like the worst crystal meth advocate haha. And cocaine DOES give you a false sense of confidence, as does meth. But imo, coke>meth lol
@Alex Butters Couldn't think of anything better lmfao.
The “Don’t get high off your own supply” rule clearly didn’t apply to him
Nah this guy is a posh UK version of montana... And funny thing is he was more real gangster than half of the wannabe one u see
@@partofthegame2691 He was 10x more gangsters then the people actually in a gang. Do you understand how much cocaine that is? 5 fucking keys a week.
κ λ s enough to keep Alex Jones awake
Notorious BIG
Don't believe that dont get high on your own supply bollocks, like this guy says the stress and paranoia of living that life is immense. Threat of getting killed and also facing decades in jail youvwould need to get high!!!
He’s doing good now managing England.
@Chris Ayala looks like Gareth Southgate.
Ahahahahahsha
Chris Ayala he said the guy in the video looks like Gareth Southgate u idiot
Chris Ayala you seem like a pussy and an idiot
@Chris Ayala what are you on about
Some ppl are just meant to hustle. This man has hustle imprinted in his DNA
1 decision leads to another. the distance becomes greater to change your mind.
Wow ok 😂😂😂
Maybe to a degree but this guy is definitely talking himself up. All that shit about running his own section of the prison and potentially blowing a hole in the wall to escape, etc, is such bs. To be honest, I reckon he was just used and abused throughout the prison, looks like he might have caught something from his stay too. He looks and sounds incredibly timid, it's hard to imagine anyone listening to him long enough for him to accomplish anything. Then again, I'm just a guy who's probably watched too many movies.
His a True G. Not the alpha male type, but the type to pull strings
@@user-ts6iz8yk3n this lame is lying out his ass
"There are people out there that still want to kill me now. That's life." No, it's not. That's your life! 😄
@Divine human Being The only thing fake is your ideas and the brain where they come from. I come from a small country, where you can't hide things or bullshit anyone because everyone would know immediately. The pandemic is real. The only thing we don't know with absolute certainty is what measures are efficient to stop the spreading, and what measures are less efficient. But better some measures than no measures.
I can’t imagine how calm he is after all he went through
It’s probably like a coping mechanism
This guy looks like he’s wearing the skin of another guy
Veronica Serrano great. Can’t unsee it now
its the drugs
He was in a South American prison for 9 years. It probably IS another guy's skin.
Wtf man. Hahaha
@@Theomite LMAO
This guy would make a great movie
-4 Subscribers with a hammer addiction watch Layer Cake, basically the same situations
He should at least be featured on 'Locked Up Abroad'.
I didn’t know he was a director also
@@boooters I know..Lols
I bet someone is already making it.
It was tough hearing him describe the violence he saw in the prison. Sounded like it really changed him.
South American prisons are a whole different beast. This guy is seriously lucky to be alive, he would be dead if he didn't have the contacts that allowed him to sell good coke in prison.
Genius type of shady that I kind of respect. Bruh said “damn this sucks that I’m in a foreign prison for trafficking coke... I should traffick more coke in here probably.”
He’s got the hustle mindset fr
“Then I realised, no one was really bringing any cocaine - GOOD cocaine - into the prison....” Yep, as you do....
Mark Pointer you ever had GOOD cocaine? Lol I think not
Well if you’re a little sophisticated on the subject it’s not that hard to find out if coke is good or not ... I’ve heard
@@heneedsomemilk2877 Yeah its called put it in your nose lol it's a highly advanced chemical technique
beter lmao facts good coke goes hard
Haven’t had any good coke since the late 80’s. The 70% cut trash around these days is embarrassing considering the amount still being smuggled in year after year. Greedy bastards stepping on it until there’s nothing left.
This guy looks like a normal 9-5 guy but looks are deceiving
You are acc right look like a office guy or something
He'd be a good bond villain 😎
He looks like a typical druggy
@Alex Anonym He went to prison for drugs not murder. So settle down tough guy. I don't think this guy has the strength to hold a knife, never mind use it.
Why? Coz hes white? Lol
Love these kind of interviews 😎
He loooks like he sniffed more than he trafficed.
It's true
the green screen is just absolute trash
No green screen used here!
a bitch of maximillianmus I see.
I'd love to watch a longer interview, he must have some unbelievable stories from those days.
I'll be surprised if his story is not made into a film.
his story is a book! which is really good www.amazon.co.uk/El-Infierno-Ecuadors-toughest-prisons/dp/1785035614

He has written some books
Thank you great toturial
Great tutorial. Thank you
This is the kind of content I want from Vice.
0x eax7 definitely 💯
More!
small slices of someone's life like this are really fascinating. it's always interesting to hear someone's life's extremity when it sounds impossible to imagine yourself in it. there is no need to judge, just a perfect opportunity to just listen
Delicious comment. Thank you.
So crazy, cool, unbelievable and unique everyone’s life is. If I told someone some of the shit I’ve done in my lifetime they’d look at me and laugh. 🤣 Life is pretty surreal when you get into thinking very, very deeply about certain things and how everything in your life happens for a reason.
ROCKY what did u do in your life
People talk about gangs in other countries like Ecuador but I never knew it could get that bad. Absolutely insane
This guy could have such an interesting full length documentary.. I’m sure we only scratched the surface with his stories
“I had just been round to visit a friend to drop off some coke”
This guy am I right
Gtre3edghj// Asd5242 lmfaoooo
How did you plan on escaping from prison? Grenade launcher through the wall.... that escalated quickly
shut up dude
@Stopthewar Taylor He was planning with the members of FARC, a group of Colombian Guerillas. Those are the actual bad motherfuckers with RPGs who'd be busting him out. Not the posh Englishmen who hired some guns.
Jake “ posh englishmen” sorry yankee but without us ur country wouldn’t be how it is today xxx
@@chroma6947 you guys as soft as they come.
@@chroma6947 Did you really just say that? The man who's country needed our help on more than one occasions? The country that got it's massive army's ass handed to them by a bunch of American farmers? And you think that Britain is the reason our country is great? We did that is spite of you, not because of you.
Truly interesting story mostly when you see the way he's relating this insane journey.
Thanks for amazing story 👍👍👍
An Englishman ran the coke in an Ecuadorian prison...would love to hear more about that.
Im Sure there ia a book about him. I read it
@Justin Eddy What does race/ethnicity have to do with any of this? lmfao
Vividly maybe an indirect correlation having more to do with culture hard work is def valued more in Mexican culture than in American culture so if you said Mexicans tend to be harder workers your not saying it’s because of the shade of their skin in fact you aren’t stating a causation at all only a correlation you are the one that assumed the causation was ethnicity so maybe your a racist who knows
@@kris6682 I think you should probably learn some more reading comprehension. Its kind of funny how much accusations, assumptions, paranoia, and stupidity from a simple sentence that completely contradicts what you're saying to me right now. LOL
Vividly maybe I do have a problem with reading comprehension because your comment makes no sense I was just saying he didn’t actually say any of that was because of race he made a statement of correlation and you turned it into causation
This is the kinda stuff we want Vice!!! Please keep this coming
Totally agreed. Couldn't care less about legal things on VICE
They've been keeping it coming for like 10 years now, there's only so mnay people like this... watch the older Vice stuff
Watched every single video, its not the people like him but the act/crime itself. I personally dont care micky minaj answering questions..
@@Blackdavid2011 this is literally a legal thing lmao. Vice is always the shit . stop bitching and moaning
@@mattmccalla3014 since when is drug dealing a legal thing? I didnt mean illegal videos, but videos about illegal things? Surely you belong on another side of youtube
This guy is very good at acting, calm and well spoken.......behind all that is a whole world we don't understand
U r a life saver, i love ur work
I swear on my ex girlfriend's life, this dude still trafficking.
Hahaa really?
yeah, easy money..
Yeah I agree
he swore on his ex girlfriends life and you all believed him
Jay Rush nothing is easy in life, it’s dangerous and a lot of risk to it
I'm certain Phil Neville went to Everton in 2005 not jail!
hahaahah
Carbon copy
Both options are shit
Whats the difference
Brilliant
He’s living proof, one should NEVER judge a book by its cover lol!
I like this kid there's definitely a real charm about him.... I really hope he makes it....Pete I watched that t.v program we're they stiched you and sent you to Parkhurst just before your parole....???? Stay strong lad real soildger
this story definitely deserves a movie...i'd recommend a starved Jared Leto for the role
Explain the movie? Guy sells Coke, gets caught, sits in Prison for 9 years and roll credits...
There's actually a National Geographic movie on his story.. Bungled up abroad
I'd like to see that movie but now with Jared Leto. I would much prefer to watch someone who can act.
I'd say Phil neville ex England International springs to mind😂😜
Nah Mackenzie Crook
I should get into the college text book smuggling game. You'd make more money off that than coke
The truth has to be spoken
Lmfao I swear
Troof
You have no idea about what talking about.
"I mean there are still people out there that still wanna kill me now....but that's life" *smiles*
Life for a psychopath
Excellent closed captioning! Almost as good as count dankula
=He casually talks about trying to use Rocket Propelled Grenades to blow up prison watchtowers. ROFL.
xD
To blow up the wall not the towers. The towers were gonna be suppressed with mg fire.

he sounds british
You mean football
WTF is soccer..It's "FOOTBALL"
i dunno 5-10kg a week is pathetic amount cmon
To be fair if I was customs he would be the last person in the queue I would check. Imagine waving him through from Amsterdam with 2000 pills while you're pulling apart the young hoodie guy's luggage to see if he's sneaked an eighth of weed with him lmao
The way he laughs about trying to break out just like it’s a game to him lol. And still has a business head on him to run the market on drugs in a prison 🤯
This is Phil Neville after watching Scarface too many times
😆
Lol
Yessss
😂🤣🤣😭
I suppot manu
Great interview. I love the question "What would you say to someone considering going to cocaine trafficking?" as if it was just another profession. It's done in such a way that is neutral, and focused on the topic. Journalism at its best.
7:16 - ‘and they probably thought I was insane’.. followed by the most insane laugh imaginable
Well I will say this, this gentleman has got a big pair of balls and a tremendous amount of luck to have survived for that long in those particular prisons in Ecuador but I also have a few more things to say in the comment that follows this one
Nice to see Gareth from The Office doing well
Gareth would have been fine in prison, he can give a man a lethal blow
Gareth would be the last person to deal drugs idiot.
He looks like someone who could play the green goblin
thepaystation because he looks like the green goblin actor?
What you're trying to say is, he looks a bit like William Dafoe lol
Nice, I needed a tutorial for that
Great honesty, wouldn't be easy. Think he should write a book or something.
Write a book, I'll read it.

@@hause2775 Dude best advice look for videos months/years old and just copy/paste that on random ass ones where you see more strangely recent comments.

Y’all fucking weirdos
This guy reminds me of Tim Roth in Reservoir Dogs
You can tell that the time in prison and the insane trauma of having lived such a dangerous lifestyle have drained a lot of health and energy from him.
I'm getting Green Goblin vibes from this man.
Tony hawk went from skateboarding to skiing
Please calm down on the background music. It's way too loud and doesn't contribute to the video at all.
It was actually quite hard to hear what this person was talking. The loud music was messing things up. I think this has been pointed out before on different videos, so Vice, could you actually do something about the issue! Much smaller creators on TH-cam manage these things well.

You all need to be checked for Sensory Processing Disorder
It’s good to see Peter crouch has still got something going for him.
The way he speaks casually about of the escapes and options lmao.

Never judge a book by its cover , this Pete geezer is a real gangster 🥇
This guy has an episode on *Locked Up Abroad* that was really good too 👍
One hell of a story... amazing how casual he is with everything.
The real prison break!
So this is what Gareth Keenan

He survived due to his TA training
Should've smuggled it in in jelly.
The team leader of the south American drug trade
I think the stapler in the jelly was the final straw
LOL
The least suspicious you look the least suspicious you look. Once a beautiful tiny girl told me " I could easily traffic drugs if I wanted, no one would ever be suspicious about me " (me in my head= "as if the cops don't know this already").
Gareth Southgate, Peter crouch and Phil Neville all in one 🤣
