It’s his fault for being an idiot.
DEA made a deal with you where you can sell your drugs and sell out a few drug kingpin and tip on drugs shipment every now and then. But you thought you could challenge Uncle Sam and come out clean

There was NO DEAL for Chapo..
He was going to PRISON for life regardless
Basically as the fall guy for the "REAL BOSSES"

The deal your alluding to is the DEAs deal with the Sinoloa Cartel 's Ismaeal Zambada and his son Jesus Zambada...
U.S. Government and Top Mexican Drug Cartel Exposed as Partners - The Mazatlán Post
Ismael is still running things and Jesus will be home in a few years...
This shyt was a circus
And the private bankers will continue laundering the profits as they have been doing for decades
The El Chapo Netflix series loved paint this narrative of Chapo becoming public enemy no. 1 once he made the Forbes list..
That's not true...his arrest was inevitable..
Because he didn't have the political immunity that his boss and banker friends had
The Government regulates the drug trade they already have a predestined choice of who they plan to lock up long before an arrest is made...
Demetrius Flenory was told by his lawyers that the DEA had him on the radar since the early 90s when he was detained with a Colombian national and released abrubtly and had he chosen to EXIT the drug game back then
They still would have gave him the same amount of time he got in 2006....30 years!
