By 15, he said in an interview conducted in a jungle clearing by the actor and director Sean Penn for Rolling Stone magazine, he had begun to grow marijuana and poppies because there was no other way for his impoverished family to survive.
Now, unapologetically, he said: “I supply more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana than anybody else in the world. I have a fleet of submarines, airplanes, trucks and boats.â€
Though his fortune, estimated at $1 billion, has come with a trail of blood, he does not consider himself a violent man. “Look, all I do is defend myself, nothing more,†he told Mr. Penn. “But do I start trouble? Never.â€

crap. forgot to get rid of the weird characters.
Penn is an Anti-American Sh*T Bag, just like his father.
Should be imprisoned for treason, or better yet, make him watch all of his own movies on endless re-runs!
How is that not harboring a fugitive and complicity or collusion?
That’s not Penn, its a real life Spicoli.
So through Penn, they tracked El Chapo
Heh. Sounds like that should be spread to El Chapped buddies.
I guess he's saying he wouldn't kill his "amigo" Trump.
Very interesting article.
Too funny. That’s probably how they caught El Chapo. By following idiots like Sean Penn around. If I were Sean, I’d be looking over my shoulder. El Chapo’s henchmen must be pissed.
I think Penn can be extradited to Mexico for this. “Journalists” have protection here.
Yes, it is being strongly insinuated that they got El Chapo through Penn.
Or maybe Penn ratted out El Chapo himself ?
Chapo didn’t learn what Osama did. No contact with anyone who has electronics on them.
Would be sweet
execute El Chapo, it’s the only way to truly get rid of his influence entirely. Forget about imprisonment. just hang the bastard
He never started anything because his underlings would start it for him.
Its just mexican taqiyya. Not tortilla, taqiyya.
So.... was he filming a rip off version of Seth Rogan’s “THE INTERVIEW”.
Useful idiot is right as Penn probably inadvertently assisted in Guzman’s capture.
El Chapo did not escape prison in the American sense.
Arrangements were made for each time he needed to ‘go on leave’ from prison to attend a family event or deal with some business that had to be done personally.
He didn’t get ‘caught’. He was ‘captured’ so that he had police escort back to the prison.
Much like the illegal immigrants who get ‘captured’ by the INS so they can get a busride back to Mexico to attend a family wedding.
