I've begged God for forgiveness, but I won't know till the day I die if He has truly forgiven me ... I've paid my dues to society by serving my long sentence, but perhaps I haven't earned His indulgence Oh my God, I've lived so many different lives!I survived Pablo Escobar Gaviria, El Patrn (The Boss), and it was the strength of his indomitable spirit that kept me going all these years; I don't quite know how or why. I still feel his presence every day of my existence. The Medellin cartel's crimes weigh as heavily on my shoulders today as they did yesterday. My youth, wasted in crime, became the sword that now hangs over my graying head. To the world, I'll always be known by my alias, Popeye, the fearsome hitman of the Medellin cartel, Pablo Escobar Gaviria's right-hand man How can I make you understand I'm a new man that twenty-three years behind bars in that hellhole have transformed the person I once was. Now the freedom I yearned for is vanishing in the murderous hands of my enemies. Perhaps fate has extended my life only to toy with me by preparing my own dying moments. I survived in captivity but I don't know if I'll be able to live in freedom A prisoner of my own mind, I'll try to fight to find some peace It's very cold now it's August 2014. I'm one step from freedom and I'm still breathing still here in this dimly lit cell in the maximum security prison in Cmbita, Boyac

Jhon Jairo Velásquez Vásquez, también conocido con el alias Popeye1 (Yarumal, 15 de abril de 1962-Bogotá, 6 de febrero de 2020), fue un sicario colombiano que formó parte de la estructura criminal del Cartel de Medellín hasta su entrega en 1992 a la justicia de su país. Frecuentemente señalado por los medios de comunicación Colombianos como "Jefe de Sicarios" o "Mano Derecha" de Pablo Escobar, se ha podido constatar, después de décadas de reconstrucción histórica, que era un mando medio o jefe de grupos sicariales, y era uno de los miembros del grupo personal de seguridad de Pablo Escobar, jefe de la organización criminal autodenominada Los Extraditables. También fue Youtuber y su canal "Popeye_Arrepentido" llegó a tener más de 1.500.000 de suscriptores, su contenido principal era contar su versión histórica de los hechos acaecidos en relación a su actividad criminal al interior del Cártel de Medellín, así como su incursión en proselitismo social y político.
