Pray for those jurors

Breh please, Chapo is old news. Cartels come and go. Nobody is going to touch an American juror over him. Bad for business.

Another El Chapo will just rise up so

There is and he is more ruthless than el Chapo ever was.

The Brutal Rise of El Mencho

And then Mencho declared war. On March 19th, 2015, a detachment of federal police was on a stakeout in a Jalisco town called Ocotlán when CJNG gunmen ambushed it, killing five officers. Two weeks later in Guadalajara, the cartel carried out an assassination attempt on Jalisco’s commissioner of public security, Alejandro Solorio, spraying his armored truck with more than 200 bullets. “When we tried to strike back,” Solorio said later, “they threw two grenades at us.”

Then, the week after Easter, the big one. A convoy of elite Fuerza Única police was driving from Puerto Vallarta to Guadalajara when – around 3 p.m. on a winding two-lane mountain road – it came across a burned-out car blocking its way. The convoy stopped, and that’s when CJNG attacked, bombarding the pinned-down cops with machine guns and grenade launchers. Fifteen officers were killed in the bloodbath – the deadliest day for Mexican law enforcement in about a decade. CJNG suffered no casualties.

Mexico’s secretary of defense delivered a full-throated denunciation of CJNG, calling them “people without scruples or conscience who, with their vile actions, harm Mexicans, their families, their heritage and their way of life.” “This cowardly attack,” Solorio declared, “will not go unpunished.”

A few weeks later, the Mexican army struck back with Operation Jalisco – a planned decapitation strike. In the pre-dawn darkness on Friday, May 1st, a detachment of elite SEDENA paratroopers and federal police – carried by two EC-725 “Super Cougar” helicopters – descended on a ranch in southwestern Jalisco where Mencho was believed to be hiding. But once again, the cartel was waiting for them. As the first soldiers rappelled from a chopper, cartel gunmen in armored trucks and camouflage uniforms reading “CJNG Special Forces High Command” opened fire with assault rifles and Russian-made RPGs. One of the helicopter’s rotors was hit, sending it crashing down in flames. Eight soldiers and one police officer were killed. The lone survivor, an intelligence officer named Iván Morales, suffered burns to more than 70 percent of his body.

The attack marked a deadly milestone: the first time a Mexican military aircraft had been destroyed by a cartel. In the hours that followed, Mencho doubled down on the terror, setting fire to dozens of hijacked buses, trucks, gas stations and banks throughout Jalisco, snarling traffic and bringing the state to its knees. The U.S. consulate warned its citizens to shelter in place; the Mexican government had to send in 10,000 troops to secure the state. According to the former DEA agent, the chaos was designed to help Mencho escape – a tactic the cartel reportedly learned from Israeli commandos. “I’ve heard about Israelis meeting with them – snipers and stuff,” the agent says. “It’s a technical use of force you’ve never seen with Mexican cartels.”

“It was a pretty amazing rapid deployment of forces,” says one federal investigator. “In hardly any time at all, Mencho got his organization to create chaos in the second-largest city in Mexico. ‘Oh, you’re coming after me? I’ll show you who’s really in charge.’ ” This aggression, the investigator says, was almost unprecedented. “[CJNG] weren’t just reacting to raids. They were actively going out and seeking confrontation with authorities. You could argue that you hadn’t seen that type of initiative since Pablo Escobar.”

Had the war between CJNG and the military continued to escalate, there’s a good chance Mencho may have been captured or killed. Instead, he caught a lucky break thanks to his old-boss-turned-nemesis – El Chapo.

El Mencho don’t play games.

They know where that money is and can find it if they look hard enough. That money has been rinsed into the "legal" economy and is probably sitting in various offshore accounts/shell companies. Some dudes in Switzerland, Monaco, Cayman Islands, etc are eating well right now.

the US gov Can touch money in Switzerland and Cayman?

seems hard to track that money especially with everything being quarterbacked from mexico i doubt they have the same "compliance" red tape for their banking industry

I always wonder how that life in prison plus 30 yrs type shyt works.

When he dies, does the prison keep the body 30 yrs after that?

Lean him up against the wall on some Weekend at Bernie's shyt

In his defense the second post you quoted was posted before people mentioned the supermax and the first post you quoted was in response to the mention of the supermax.

The man is a multi billionaire escape artist drug lord.

He definitely gonna plot to escape. He's got nothing to lose.

And money talks.


I ain't saying he'll succeed, but he'll try. Probably more in the form of bribes not digging tunnels.

Think prisoners can escape from federal Supermax brehs
