How long did it take for Tony Montana to become filthy rich??

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

Now more than 2 - 2.5 years

Tony skipped alot of steps in the game by getting in good with Sosa and getting Frank out the paint

Sosa got 2,000 kilos on his run with Sosa and took off early

Frank wasn’t a big time dealer though

Frank wasn’t a big time dealer though

I'm saying, he leapfrogged Frank by proving himself to Sosa

Frank wasn't big time on purpose because he wasn't willing to move the amount of weight from Bolivia

He was upset at Tony because overstepped by making a bigger deal with Sosa on his behalf


Tony basically went from henchman to dealing directly with a supplier

Frank was a bytch, he wanted to stay under the radar.... meanwhile Tony wanted all the smoke and the bullets

Frank was living a pretty luxurious life tho let's be honest

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

when they showing him on the come up, the whole thing probably takes three years

BUT i think he probably got rich relative to how poor he was way earlier, like 8 months to a year

I'm going to say the entire story takes place over the course of three years.

It starts with the boatlift in October 1980. It ends in late 1983, roughly contemporaneous with the release of the film.

Too long mayne

Staying under the radar is the smartest thing you can do when you're a criminal

The only way to confirm it is from the newspaper article when he got arrested

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I'd say two years because the last 3rd of the film is how he's dealing with being on top and how he can't trust nobody
