Determining George Jung's "best friend" is difficult as his life involved various relationships. However, some prominent figures in his life could be considered close friends, such as:
- John Roberts: Jung's childhood friend who introduced him to the marijuana trade. They were partners in smuggling marijuana from Mexico to the U.S.
- Barry Seal: A notorious drug smuggler who collaborated with Jung in the 1970s. They were involved in smuggling cocaine from South America.
- Mirtha Jung: While not a "best friend" in the traditional sense, she was Jung's wife and a constant companion during his drug-smuggling years. They shared significant experiences and faced challenges together.
Ultimately, the term "best friend" is subjective, and the answer depends on how you define the relationship.
