What's the longest you've seen an illegal drug dealer stay in business without getting busted

Illegal drug dealers don't usually stay in business long. They leave the business either because they get busted, get tired of the life, lose their connection, etc. An extremely small fraction of them even retire because they made enough money and knew when to quit. But whatever the reason is, they almost always quit in a relatively short amount of time.
Legal weed dealers and people who snitch don't count. What is the longest you've seen an illegal drug dealer stay in business without getting busted?
*EDIT: Added "without getting busted" and "without snitching"*

There was a guy who was a bit older than me and sold during high school. When he graduated and was around 18-20, he bought a house right across from the highschool. He was the one stop Shop and dabbled in everything.
He now lives elsewhere. Still in town, still operating
So I'd say he's been going Since around 1999

I know a guy who's been dealing for 35 years, but he's been busted multiple times. What I would like to know is, what's the longest a dealer has gone without getting busted? Sooner or later you're gonna get caught.

Staying in business and not getting arrested the longest I've really known anyone to do it is just a few years. My last dealer I found about 4 or 5 years ago and I'm pretty sure he's still going. I don't think he's gonna last much longer though. Last time few times I bought from him which was spaced out over a long period (months - year) he was fucked up on xanax and found out he pretty much is all the time. He used to just smoke weed and maybe do something a bit heavier on the weekends or something.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Hmm, that's probably what I should have asked, because that's an even better question. Let me change it. I'll also add "without snitching". Thanks.

The people that work a job for their primary income and just sell when they have it and to friends only. Those people deal according to the law and get away with it for a long time. They only risk possession most of the time.
Never cared to know any heavy dealers.

In that case I would say that I'm the only person that I know who went the longest without getting caught, and I only did it for like 3 years. I sold at wholesale prices and my friends were the middlemen. Luckily none of them ever got caught either.

I sold weed for 3 years (definitely not a long time compared to most of the answers on here) but I literally sold to like 7 people during the peak of my selling. I'm in a really small town and word gets around really easily so I try to keep it as quiet as I reasonably can. Those 7 people came through often enough for enough quantity to make it to where I didn't feel the need to branch out and find new people. Nothing ever came up that made me feel the need to worry or anything. I quit selling a couple of months ago though. I got jumped (not drug related) and just decided I didn't want to do business in this town anymore and make everyone think I fell off the map. It was really easy to use that as an excuse too. I had enough money to keep living for a few months and work on a couple of projects so I gladly put my scale away and I've been relaxing and building myself up as a person ever since then. That's the longest I personally have gone though. Can't really speak for any of the guys that supplied me.

Know one guy who has been going since the early 90s, not sure if he's ever been busted but I doubt it.
Everyone else seems to be on probation half the time

There was a dude that started serving me as youngster in high school with the help of local law enforcement. I later found out he had been in the "industry" for 6 years before I ever put my paws on one of his dime bags.
His brother which lived in the same house was married to a local, high ranking LEO and she made sure no one on her end interfered with the family business.
It was an ever so interesting dynamic going to that house to buy anything. Always the same situation. It would consist of me and another equally white looking person pulling up, getting out and getting made fun of by the little gangster walking around while the rest of the crew in the front porch entertained my friend and I with sloshes of Hennessy and endless blunt hits. Grape mini dutches, how I miss thee.
Anyways, he served up shitty weed, decent blow, and MDMA (rolls) with a small side of weapons trafficking.
Either me or one of my friends would go to him for one of these supplies at least once a month even into our early 20's as he would always be up, and have shit bagged and ready at a fair price.
He had been dealing in one way or another since 1994/95 if my math is correct. I remember the last time I called him, I was 23 meaning he had been in the game for 15 years.
The call to him was no different than anytime before. "Yo, can I come through? I need two of those." followed by his classic response in a rich timbre "Yea, come through, baby!" I drove the 10 or so minutes towards his place, a bubbly white girl in tow. As I pull into his street all I see is SWAT trucks, and cop cars. As I get closer, heavily armored dudes with automatic rifles stacked side by side while my poor ol' dealer just stood there in his driveway being cuffed.
As I began to make a 3 point turn, one of the uniformed cops waves me in. Fuck! I pull up, dealer looks at me while my window is open, I look down. The cop asks what I'm doing there, and I answer instantly "visiting my friend at the cemetery" which was true earlier in the day. He granted me a wave to the rest of the road and freedom.
I eventually learned that I was the last person to have spoken with him before SWAT raided him. He was found guilty of a myriad of charges. Many of which were crimes and drugs I had no idea he was involved in/with. His expected release date is in 2018.
