Fernando Del Valle, also known as Blackbeard was Pablo Escobar's main accountant till his arrest in 1984.
Aside from laundering money for the cartel, Del Valle was tasked with maintaining a map of all the locations where Escobar buried his cash, giving him his nickname 'Blackbeard'. After Escobar hastily vacated the Hacienda Napoles in 1984, Steve Murphy salvaged partially-burnt documents from the estate and located Blackbeard's hideout. After Colonel Horacio Carrillo arrest him, Blackbeard detailed Pablo's empire which brought in $60 million a day, and revealed several locations where Escobar buried his drug money. By 1992, Jose Rojas had taken over as Pablo's main accountant.
