El Chapo caught

[jdub (OP)]

Looks like they got him. I'm sure the drug business will shut down tomorrow. Meh, I've always been more of a fan of El Mayo.

Lol I was about to post the same thing, jdub.

El Chapo has been El Captured.

Again!

bribes already paid,  and the genius tunnel digger has probably already started several tunnels with his crew.

hope to see him randomly showing up and eating at gourmet restaurants out of nowhere soon.

bitch...i been rooting for el chapo...not cause i think hes some sort of antihero but simply cause hes fucked off team america world police...ah well, maybe hell dig another tunnel...

[Guts]

If he gets extradited to the US he's fucked...

[Narkotikon]

Steel reinforced, concrete cell, in a super maximum security prison, with round the clock checks?

[DirtyJerzy]

Fuck, this dudes been my hero since that last tunnel escape. Think of the engineers he must employ. But yeah the US is really going to push for extradition this time. He goes to adx, no fucking way will he escape from there,  but one can hope.

I Gotta root for anyone who continuously pisses in the eye of the us gubment.

That he was captured IN MEXICO (again) just reeks of his own arrogance. The guy has more money than some countries and he stayed in MEXICO? I would have been anywhere else especially a country w/o extradition treaties with the US or Mexico.

IDK, maybe he thought he had bribed his way high up enough up the Mexican government to stay safe but after embarrassing them with the tunnel he should have known better.

maybe just keep him on the 2nd floor?

In a country where there's little difference between officials and outlaws another escape is inevitable.


P.S. I highly doubt Guzman would live long enough to be extradited-lot of the Mexican elite would  be truly fucked if Guzman spilled the beans.

An escape or an assassination, or maybe assassinated while escaping..

Hard to guess at but it kinda seems like Chapo might be down a few pieces..

maybe just keep him on the 2nd floor?

what and then have the rogue mexican engineers figure out air-tunnels?

not a fucking chance

A couple interesting things I've heard-

It was reported that he was captured because he was working on a biopic and the people working on the pic were either cooperating with the authorities or their phones were being monitored.

He's going back to the same prison that he escaped from 7 mos ago, this time the gov says the perimeter will be patrolled by tanks.

I don't think he'll escape again.


As for Guzman being fucked if he spilled the beans, I'm not so sure. Mayo's son/ Chapo's lieutenant Vicente was semi-recently charged in the US and claimed immunity because he was cooperating with US/ Mex authorities. He also forfeited $1.37 billion to US authorities to give you an idea how loaded these guys are.

La Barbie also wrote a letter to a mexican newspaper, while locked up in mexican prison, accusing mexican officials of corruption. All the way up to former president Calderon. He's still alive and was recently extradited to the US.

Regarding being caught in Mexico- I think he thought he would be safest in the area where he could have dozens of armed bodyguards close by, and where he had paid (probably) billions in bribes. I think he just made things too hot for himself. He liked hearing about himself in the media and started to believe his own legend, imo.

Free chapo or hand the drug business over to me with a no more violence campaign.
