Floyd Carlton Caceres served as [[Panama|Panamanian]] dictator [[Manuel Noriega]]'s personal pilot and ran his drug transportation network. Carlton also managed the drug operation's logistics, flying cocaine and moving money between the United States and Panama. The operation unraveled when Carlton lost $1.8 million in cash entrusted to him by [[Colombia|Colombian]] drug lords to fly from [[Los Angeles]] to [[Panama City]]; he had delegated the task to an underling who absconded with the money.[^1]
