According to statements Seal later made after he became a DEA informant, he began smuggling small quantities of marijuana in 1976.[5] By 1978, however, he had begun flying significant loads of cocaine because pound-for-pound it was more profitable.[5]

In December 1979, Seal was arrested in Honduras after returning from a drug smuggling trip to Ecuador. Although the Honduran police did not find any cocaine, they did find an M-1 rifle, and Seal was imprisoned until July 1980.[6] Undeterred by his arrest, Seal expanded his operations on his return to the United States. He hired William Bottoms, his ex-brother-in-law as a pilot and from 1980 on, Bottoms was the main pilot in Seal's smuggling enterprise, while Seal oversaw planning and operations.[7]

Seal later began working for the Medellín Cartel as a pilot and drug smuggler. He transported numerous shipments of cocaine from Colombia and Panama to the United States and earned as much as $1,300,000 per flight.[8]

After successful runs at his home base in Louisiana he moved operations to Mena Intermountain Municipal Airport, an airport facility in Mena, Arkansas. There he bought, sold, and operated many planes.

A report in the July 17, 1984 issue of the Washington Times by Edmond Jacoby linked officials in the Sandinista government to the Medellín cartel and discussed Seal's mission to Nicaragua.

[14][2] The public disclosures jeopardized Seal's life and quickly brought an end to the sting operation designed to capture the cartel's leaders. Questioned about the identity of the source, Jacobson replied "I heard that the leak came from an aide in the White House." He stated that Iran–Contra figure Oliver North had attended two meetings on the sting operation and had motivation to release the information. UPI reported: "By linking the Sandinistas with drug traffic… aid to the rebels accused of human rights violations might seem more palatable."

Subcommittee chairman William J. Hughes strongly suggested that North was the source of the leak, but Representative Bill McCollum said, "…we don't know who leaked this. No one has been able to tell us."

Seal was sentenced to work in public service at the Salvation Army facility on Airline Highway (U.S. 61) in Baton Rouge, as a modification by the judge to Seal's original plea bargain. On February 19, 1986, Seal was shot to death in front of the site. Seal's shooting abruptly brought the DEA's investigation to an end

Oliver North was a big player in this operation.
