[King Frost]

When Mr. Guzmán and his allies were ready to pay for their cocaine, the statement said, they would pack the containers with as much as $5 million in cash and send them to Colombia.

cash only, no credit

apartments in Mexico filled with as much as $30 million at a time

The wall

Oddly enough that sounds like a good idea. Just start building it with that $ and watch people get pissed.

There was NO DEAL for Chapo..

He was going to PRISON for life regardless


Basically as the fall guy for the "REAL BOSSES"

El Chapo: I'm Not The Boss, I Just Work For Him The Same As Mexican Presidents Do | Qntra

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!

So Chapo wasn't the real boss this whole time?

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.

At ADX it’s designed to where you don’t know where you are within the complex

All the murderers and terrorists in there and you don’t think they’d wanna become the Expendables if they could?

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

he'll bust out in less than 5yrs.

RIP to the jurors.

NOPE

Where is his money though? How are the feds gonna get to it? Shyt has to be in stash houses, Bitcoin, and caves somewhere... Right?

Don't tell me this nikka has $12.6B in checking accounts with Chase and Wells Fargo .

And can someone explain to me what incentive does he have to actually forfeit the money?

He's already getting life.

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

The Brutal Rise of El Mencho



El Mencho don’t play games.

Go down swinging, no snitching

[Krazy]

He got life lol

There is absolutely 0 incentive for him to forfeit the 12bn, and even If there was theres no way he could even round up that much money.

 

[Umoja]

Life in prison plus 30 years sounds so fukkin stupid.

Reincarnation might be a thing

 

[Umoja]

I don't appreciate El Chapo's trade but the above disgusts me. It shows that bringing him isn't about justice. It was about running his pockets.

If anything the money should be donated to charities helping people overcome substance abuse and orphanages.

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

he'll bust out in less than 5yrs.

RIP to the jurors.

He might be going here and if he does, he ain't getting out

The banks will sell you out to keep their banking licence

did you know that you can start your own bank for about 1mil offshore?

no i didn't. but there are countries that have built economies off of the off shore money hiding scheme. pardon my ignorance, but the US has used this power over them before? there alot of nefarious assets out there

 

[phcitywarrior]

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

The US government can’t touch the money in Switzerland really. They can only apply pressure e.g. refuse to do trade with a country. Besides, there are enough international stakeholders to ensure Switzerland remains the land for “shadow banking”. Some of these stakeholders are in the US proper.
