JUAN PABLO GRANDA STEPPED INTO A SMALL OFFICE IN A MIDDLE-CLASS neighborhood in the permanently foggy city of Lima, Per, on February 18, 2013.
The lights were off.
He couldnt see.
As his eyes adjusted to the darkness, Granda began to make out menacing shapes: two men, short and squat, with handguns strapped to their hips. Behind them, their boss sat at a desk. A single-barreled shotgun leaned against the wall.
Granda, a thirty-one-year-old Florida State University graduate with degrees in international business and management, wasnt there to buy cocaine or weapons, as the rooms bristling tension might suggest.
He was there to buy gold, the metal that has mystified, entranced, and led human beings to destroy themselves since the dawn of time.
The office belonged to one of the biggest gold exporters in Per, a developing South American nation where precious-metals brokers sometimes operate more like drug dealers than suit-and-tie commodities traders. Where Africa has its blood diamonds, Per and its neighbors in South America have dirty goldand much of it ends up in jewelry and electronic goods purchased by unsuspecting consumers in the United States.
The metal Granda sought is produced by a little known and incredibly destructive criminal economy fueled by the cocaine trade. Under the nose of governments and law enforcement agencies around the world, dirty gold has infiltrated the global precious-metals industry. Illegal gold mining is one of the best ways out.
The miners have turned an area in Pers southeastern rain forest known as La Pampa into one of the hemispheres largest illegal gold mines, a giant tear-drop-shaped desert that stretches more than forty-two square miles. In La Pampa, anywhere from thirty thousand to forty thousand men, women, and children dig through the muck day and night in search of the elusive metal. While the rain forests of the surrounding province, Madre de Dios (Mother of God), support some of the richest wildlife found anywhere on Earth, La Pampa has been transformed into a hostile, alien planet. For every ounce of gold the miners extract, researchers estimate that they leave behind nine tons of waste, amid giant craters filled with chemical-tainted water colored in unearthly shades of electric blue and metallic orange.
