From what I understand, drug cartels need software for running their bussiness, and because they can't take a call to SAP and have a representative build a custom solution, they just kidnap programmers, extortion them and make them build the software they need for bookeping and all the stuff made by computers on this days.
This doesn't seem very convincing. Simply paying programmers lots of money would be a simpler and more effective solution. They could certainly afford that, and bookkeeping is too critical to their business to risk. Would you suggest that they kidnap lawyers and doctors as well?
Slave is not a good worker - with tedious manual tasks you can force someone and measure his performance - but I cannot imagine how this could work efficiently for any professional work.
