"He is close to his family and has visited with his daughter."
As far as I can tell, much of this page is based off of the movie, and untrue. Someone needs to do some serious fact-checking using the book as a reference. Two things that caught my eye... Carlos and George were not cellmates, and carlos was released from danbury after george.

It would indeed seem that this article is based off of the movie. However: It is possible that Blow was really a very accurate rendition of the life and times of George Jung. Either way: A big fat overhaul for this page is necessary.
FAKE Nothing in this page is right read the book "Killing Pablo" or you can probably check out the history channel for "The True Story of Killing Pablo" Mark Bowden did both of them and he is probably the most qualified author to recount the history and ties of George Jung —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.33.128.189 (talk) 23:36, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
This is also wrong in the fact that he is in Otisville Federal Correctional Institution, in Otisville, NY not Fort Dix in New Jersey.
Actually, you are wrong, he is in Fort Dix New Jersey. Batman2005 00:54, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
I have checked his number.......19225004 at the federal prisoners page and it says he is currently in Fort Dix —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.126.75 (talk • contribs)

Yes It is true he is in Otisville. i corrected the page as i have read the real book by bruce porter.
He's no longer at fort dix. According to the federal bureau of prisons website he is at FCI LA Tuna in Anthony TX LINK Herogamer (talk) 20:25, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
His website even states this
He is currently incarcerated at Federal Correctional Institution, La Tuna in Anthony, Texas.
His projected release date is November 27, 2014
No idea why the DOC have him listed as being in NJ, unless this is a recent transfer.76.252.21.254 (talk) 13:34, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
"To the best of my knowledge, there are NO "mansions" on Nauset Beach, nor even any regular dwellings, since this is part of the government's Cape Cod National Seashore. I doubt that anyone, even with George's money, would be able to find, much less buy a "mansion" in that area! No doubt he had property elsewhere in eastern Mass. By the way, Weymouth isn't even ON Cape Cod! - STW-Feb-2007" by Special:Contributions/70.17.141.162 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jayvdb (talk • contribs) 01:52, 12 February 2007 (UTC).
Was george jung jewish or was his mother jewish? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.230.42.60 (talk) 23:12, 2 September 2007 (UTC) I just read the book. Jung comes from a Dutch background on his father's side. His mother's maiden name was O'Neil, which sounds Irish. By the way, the bit in the article about Jung never being armed needs to go. Porter spent about 2 pages of the book discussing he various guns George carried, which he never seems to have used. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.242.41.223 (talk) 15:51, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
I agree the article saying he is German is false! He was Dutch, and partial Jewish from mother's side. O'neill is an irish last name, but I wont say he has Irish ancestory because he has never claimed it. The book is accurate, and mostly from Jung's own mouth. He is Dutch, and Jewish! That article on his father being German is not correct! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.0.176.220 (talk) 03:27, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
The article currently says that in 1994 he was arrested for carrying 660 pounds of marijuana. However, that is the same exact number he was arrested for in Chicago in 1974 - 660 pounds. Perhaps the facts are getting confused? I thought he was arrested in 1994 because he got back into smuggling cocaine. I could be wrong, but if so, perhaps a reference is in order? At the very least, www.bostongeorge.com gives 640 pounds of marijuana to be how much he carried in Chicago in '74. Seems awfully odd to be arrested again for a similar number.

I would like to add that if he was arrested for 15 years in 1994, he should have been released in 2009. Has this article been edited recently? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.87.129.180 (talk) 01:34, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
I would say that an interview with George Jung would be pretty accurate.

This article appears to have been Copied & Pasted from Jung's official website —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.236.233.59 (talk) 07:26, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
Why is this page linked to the Wonderland Gang page? I do not see Jung mentioned anywhere as part of Wonderland situation. Blakestern (talk) 21:29, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
