El Chapo is going to die at the hands of the Mexican military, just like all the others. Just like Pablo Escobar did.
People are impressed by violence and think it represents power, but it doesn't. It represents weakness. Violence happens when things aren't going good. The Mexican cartels were making more money and were more powerful in the late 80s and 90s before the current violence wave.
Objectively speaking, no one had it and no one will ever have it like the Italian American mob at their peak. The power they had was amazing. They were basically a shadow government. And they were a shadow government in the US, the most powerful and wealthy country in the world, not a 3rd world country.
Yeah, modern day criminal organizations make more money(or at least the top guys do). But what's the use of having billions of dollars when you live like a rat? Mexican drug lords live in hiding and fear and then they get gunned down. They can't go to a restaurant and have a meal without a convoy of armored cars and bodyguards. Italian Mafia bosses(from Italy) spend most of their reign on the run or hiding in underground bunkers miles from the place they were born. What use is being a billionaire if you can't spend it and it's gonna end up being seized by the government. Is that power?
Carlo Gambino died an old man in his own bed, one of the most powerful men in the Tri State area. He had more money than he could ever spend. Same with Gery Catena(who was worth probably in the neighbourhood of a billion legitimately) or Tony Accardo. These are just a few, but there are a lot of mobsters who got filthy rich and invested it in legitimate businesses(untouched by the law), set their children and grandchildren for life and died free men.
Meyer Lansky(even though he's 'overrated') spent his last years in Miami. That's the late 70s and early 80s. At the height of the Miami violence wave and he lived with his wife, no bodyguards or people watching over him, and he was untouched. That's power.
= Saying Al Capone had the whole commission shook is some dikkhead shyt.The commission is every boss of every mafia family in the country my g
.If he had them so shook why he aint tell them to kick rocks instead of paying dues
?
