The world’s most notorious and powerful drug lord, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera, has reportedly been captured in Mexico.
The head of the Sinoloa Cartel - nicknamed Chapo or "shorty" - was caught last night, according to the AP, at a hotel resort in Mazatlan in a joint US-Mexico operation. Forbes ranked Guzman 67 out of 72 on their list of the World’s Most Powerful People. With revenues believed to exceed $3bn, his Sinaloa cartel is easily the most powerful in Mexico, responsible for an estimated 25% of all illegal drugs that enter the U.S. via Mexico. While this may appear good news (catching a big bad guy), Stratfor warns "this could spark a wave of violence throughout northwestern Mexico if internal shifts evolve into intra-cartel conflict."
Nope, the cia & current admin, will make him an offer he can not refuse. Then he’ll be back at work with new partners.
Oh please....He’ll convert the whole damn prison...pay them all and march out to his camp. Mexico is a hell hole that deserves itself.
recent attempts by the conjoining of the vigilantes and federales is having some success
joe blow mexicano is fighting back
Army-Navy Country Club?
I would imagine some politicians across the border are deeply saddened.
I would also imagine we would be shocked at the amount of money many politicians have in off-shore accounts, from nefarious sources.
Freefall from altitude over the gulf...give him a few minutds to think his life over.
Reminds me of that whack-a-mole game.
That's about the same that Cracker Barrel does in revenues per year, selling biscuits and bric-a-brac.
It always amazes me what a small business illegal drugs really are.
As some studies have shown, street-level dealers make the same money as McDonald's employees, but with longer hours, a one in 20 chance of being murdered before they turn 21 and a constant risk of arrest.
The stupidity of dealers and users is mind-boggling.
Quick, get him an AK-47!
If he’s not on U.S. soil in U.S. custody, he’s not caught.
Well what are all of the money laundering businesses in the US going to do now...No more drug money. Look at the loss of jobs. Sad times ahead.
Slow, horrible death. Maybe Micheal Bolton’s “When Man Loves A Woman” over and over at full blast until he is pissing blood.

The horror....
Ping to #13...we were just discussing this very thing! hahaha
One cartel does 25%, about 3 billion dollars. That means 12 billion in total sales. That’s more than General Motors, Braniac. And that’s just from Mexico.
