I’m beginning to wonder with all the forfeitures that will come out of El Chapo, Epstein and all the other traffickers if we won’t be able to pay off the Federal debt within a few years....wouldn’t that be amazing!

“IT’S GOING TO BE STAGGERING, THE AMOUNT OF NAMES”: AS THE JEFFREY EPSTEIN CASE GROWS MORE GROTESQUE, MANHATTAN AND DC BRACE FOR IMPACT

This article names a LOT of names. They seem to be scrambling frantically to distance themselves.

Bwahahahahaha. Good luck with that.

Forbes, the leader in finding and estimating private wealth says that's high. His total net worth they estimate at $2-4 Billion.

Does Mexican Drug Lord El Chapo Guzman Have the $14 Billion the US Wants From Him

Let's say you could get $10 billion out of him and another $10 billion out of Epstein and apply it to the debt.

The national debt is $22 Trillion, so the $20 billion would only retire about 1/10th of 1% of the debt. You would need another 2000 billionaire criminals to be convicted and have their wealth confiscated, and thereby to kick in $10 Billion each, to pay off our debt.

That is unlikely.
