Shocking !! El Chapo's 2023 Net Worth: Peak Wealth, Real Estate, and Revenue

Joaquín Guzmán Loera, also known as “El Chapo,” is a name that has become synonymous with the drug trade in Mexico. With a criminal career spanning over three decades, El Chapo rose to become one of the most powerful and feared drug lords in the world. His leadership in the Sinaloa Cartel and involvement in drug trafficking operations across the globe made him a target for law enforcement…

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

July 26, 2024

Heather Cox Richardson

Jul 27, 2024

Yesterday, U.S. officials arrested Ismael Zambada García, or “El Mayo,” cofounder of the violent and powerful drug trafficking organization the Sinaloa Cartel, and Joaquín Guzmán López, a son of its other cofounder. That other cofounder, Joaquín Guzmán Loera, or “El Chapo,” is already incarcerated in the U.S., as are another of El Chapo’s sons, alleged cartel leader Ovidio Guzmán López, and the cartel’s alleged lead hitman, Néstor Isidro Pérez Salas, or “El Nini.” 

In a statement, Attorney General Merrick Garland said: “Fentanyl is the deadliest drug threat our country has ever faced, and the Justice Department will not rest until every single cartel leader, member, and associate responsible for poisoning our communities is held accountable.” El Mayo has been charged with drug trafficking and money laundering.

U.S. officials exploited rifts in the cartel to get Guzmán López to bring El Mayo in. The successful and peaceful capture of the two Sinaloa Cartel leaders contrasts with Trump’s insistence that the U.S. must bomb or invade Mexico to damage the cartels, a position echoed by Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance and increasingly popular in the Republican Party. Mexico, which is America’s biggest trade partner, staunchly opposes such an intervention. Opponents note that such military action would do nothing to decrease demand for illegal drugs in the U.S. and would increase the numbers of asylum-seekers at the border as their land became a battleground. 

Trump seems to think that governance is about dominance, but that approach often runs afoul of the law. Today the Justice Department reached a $2 million settlement with former FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, who became the butt of Trump’s attacks after their work on the FBI investigation into the ties between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russian operatives. Trump’s Department of Justice released text messages between the two to journalists. Today’s settlement appears to reflect that the release likely violated the Privacy Act, which bars the government from disclosing personal information. 

Tonight, speaking to Christians at the Turning Point Action Believers’ Summit in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump made his plans to become a strongman clear: “Get out and vote. Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what: it’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians…. Get out, you’ve got to get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again, we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote.”

This chilling statement comes after Trump praised autocratic Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán in his speech at the Republican National Convention last week and then publicly praised China’s president Xi Jinping for being “brilliant” because he “controls 1.4 billion people with an iron fist.” It should also be read against the backdrop of the Supreme Court’s decision in Donald J. Trump v. United States that a president cannot be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his “official duties.” 

The Harris campaign reacted to Trump’s dark statements by ridiculing them, and him: “Tonight, Donald Trump couldn’t pronounce words [he mispronounced “landslide” as “land slade], insulted the faith of Jewish and Catholic Americans, lied about the election (again), lied about other stuff, bragged about repealing Roe, proposed cutting billions in education funding, announced he would appoint more extremist judges, revealed he planned to fill a second Trump term with more criminals like himself, attacked lawful voting, went on and on and on, and generally sounded like someone you wouldn’t want to sit near at a restaurant—let alone be President of the United States.

“America can do better than the bitter, bizarre, and backward looking delusions of criminal Donald Trump. Vice President Kamala Harris offers a vision for America's future focused on freedom, opportunity, and security.”

Harris continually refers to Trump as a criminal in her speeches, but her campaign has taken the approach of referring to him and J.D. Vance as weirdos. On Tuesday, Minnesota governor Tim Walz said, “These guys are just weird.” Senators Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Brian Schatz of Hawaii recorded a video together about Vance’s “super weird,” “bananas,” and “offensive” idea that people with children should be assigned additional votes for each child, making their wishes count more than people without children. 

As J.D. Vance continues to step on rakes, the “weird” label seems correctly to label the MAGAs as outside the mainstream of American thought. Today, Vance doubled down on his denigration of women who have not given birth as “childless cat ladies” but assured voters he has nothing against cats. In addition, a video surfaced of Vance calling for the federal government to stop women in Republican-dominated states from crossing state lines to obtain abortions.

Mychael Schnell of The Hill reported today that while MAGA Republican lawmakers like Vance, a number of House Republicans are bashing his selection as the vice presidential candidate. “He was the worst choice of all the options,” one said. “It was so bad I didn’t even think it was possible.”

“The prevailing sentiment is if Trump loses, [it’s] because of this pick,” another said, a sentiment that suggests Vance will be a scapegoat if Trump loses. Considering what happened to Trump’s last vice president after Trump blamed him for an election loss, Vance might have reason to be concerned.

Last night’s “Answer the Call” Zoom has now raised more than $8.5 million for Harris; the organizers thanked Win With Black Women “for showing us how it’s done.” Today the Future Forward PAC, which had threatened to hold back $90 million in spending if Biden stayed at the head of the ticket, began large advertising purchases in swing states for Harris. 

Carl Quintanilla of CNBC reported that a week ago, those on a phone call of more than 400 people from Bank of America’s Federal Government Relations Team believed that a Trump victory was a “foregone conclusion.” Now that conviction is gone. “[T]here’s been a palpable sentiment reversal.”

The Harris campaign announced that it will launch 2,600 more volunteers into its ground game in Florida, a state where abortion rights will be on the ballot this fall, likely turning out voters for the Democratic ticket. The volunteers will write postcards, make phone calls, and knock on doors. 

Today, Vice President Kamala Harris filled out the paperwork officially declaring her candidacy for president of the United States.

In June 2019, three Israeli computer engineers arrived at a New Jersey building used by the F.B.I. They unpacked dozens of computer servers, arranging them on tall racks in an isolated room. As they set up the equipment, the engineers made a series of calls to their bosses in Herzliya, a Tel Aviv suburb, at the headquarters for NSO Group, the world’s most notorious maker of spyware. Then, with their equipment in place, they began testing.

The F.B.I. had bought a version of Pegasus, NSO’s premier spying tool. For nearly a decade, the Israeli firm had been selling its surveillance software on a subscription basis to law-enforcement and intelligence agencies around the world, promising that it could do what no one else — not a private company, not even a state intelligence service — could do: consistently and reliably crack the encrypted communications of any iPhone or Android smartphone.

Since NSO had introduced Pegasus to the global market in 2011, it had helped Mexican authorities capture Joaquín Guzmán Loera, the drug lord known as El Chapo. European investigators have quietly used Pegasus to thwart terrorist plots, fight organized crime and, in one case, take down a global child-abuse ring, identifying dozens of suspects in more than 40 countries. In a broader sense, NSO’s products seemed to solve one of the biggest problems facing law-enforcement and intelligence agencies in the 21st century: that criminals and terrorists had better technology for encrypting their communications than investigators had to decrypt them. The criminal world had gone dark even as it was increasingly going global.

But by the time the company’s engineers walked through the door of the New Jersey facility in 2019, the many abuses of Pegasus had also been well documented. Mexico deployed the software not just against gangsters but also against journalists and political dissidents. The United Arab Emirates used the software to hack the phone of a civil rights activist whom the government threw in jail. Saudi Arabia used it against women’s rights activists and, according to a lawsuit filed by a Saudi dissident, to spy on communications with Jamal Khashoggi, a columnist for The Washington Post, whom Saudi operatives killed and dismembered in Istanbul in 2018.

‘Rogues: True Stories of Grifters, Killers, Rebels and Crooks’ by Patrick Radden Keefe

Patrick Radden Keefe tells us in the preface to in his new book, Rogues: True Stories of Grifters, Killers, Rebels and Crooks, that the 12 long-form essays “reflect some of my abiding preoccupations: crime and corruption, secrets and lies, the permeable membrane separating licit and illicit worlds, the bonds of family, the power of denial.” In this, of course, the stories are similar to the concerns in his previous two books: Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland and Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty. It’s a muddied world he covers, where just about everyone is tainted, though even the most sinister rogues have some mediating human qualities.

Among the more menacing group of transgressors Keefe writes about is Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, whose pre-terrorist college life displayed “a painfully American banality: cinder-block dorm rooms, big-screen TVs, mammoth boxes of Cheez-Its.” Wim Holleeder, the Dutch gangster who allegedly has a hit out for his own sister, comes across as wily and even quirky during his trial — “shifting in his chair, shaking his head, taking his eyeglasses off and twirling them like a propeller” — though Keefe makes no bones about the man’s overall brutality; and drug kingpin Joaquín Guzmán Loera, “El Chapo” — at one point one of the most feared criminals in the world — “distinguished himself as a trafficker who brought an unusual sense of imagination and play to the trade.”

Then there’s Amy Bishop, a neurobiologist denied tenure at the University of Alabama, Huntsville, who, during the last department meeting of the semester, blocked the conference room door and shot six of her colleagues, killing three. Bishop grew up in a Boston suburb where she had shot and killed her brother, and Keefe thoroughly investigates this act, and its ultimate lack of consequence (the killing was ruled accidental), as a possible precursor to the later crime. Discussing whether or not the murder was intentional, Keefe writes, “When violence suddenly ruptures the course of our lives, we tend to tell ourselves stories in order to make it explicable. Confronted with scrambled pieces of evidence, we arrange them into a narrative.” Keefe concludes that “neither story” about the killing “was especially convincing,” and this willingness to live with ambiguity and irresolution is a hallmark of his journalism.

While the profiles of people who might rightly be considered villains is riveting, I found myself drawn more to the stories about genteel rogues. There is German wine forger Hardy Rodenstock, whose hustle was to convince wealthy people that the bottles he was selling were originally from the cellar of Thomas Jefferson. When uber-conservative and wine connoisseur Bill Koch, brother of Charles and David, goes mercilessly after Rodenstock, it’s hard not to side with the “bad guy” of the story. Similarly, HSBC computer technician Hervé Falciani may have broken the law when he disclosed which wealthy bank customers were laundering money and evading taxes, but our sympathies are generally with the whistleblower, whatever his motives might have been.

The book ends with a chapter on Anthony Bourdain, who is perhaps less of a rogue than the other scoundrels in the book. Though he periodically raises a cynical eyebrow over Bourdain’s antics, Keefe is clearly drawn to the celebrity chef’s star power, this man with the magnetism of “an aging rocker,” who “transformed himself into a well-heeled nomad who wanders the planet meeting fascinating people and eating delicious food,” fully enjoying his “fantasy profession.” The story was published in The New Yorker (where all these pieces first appeared) before Bourdain’s suicide, and it ends on an upbeat note, which is undercut by the tragedy that will follow. It’s an irony one can imagine that Keefe, whose profiles display a boundless interest in other people, feels deeply.

Extradiciones de narcos | Cuota de AMLO a EU

CIUDAD DE MÉXIXO * 23 de septiembre 2024. ) Apro El presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador extraditó a 341 presuntos narcotraficantes a Estados Unidos, un promedio de 62 por año, con lo cual cumplió la cuota de extradiciones a la que se comprometió con Washington en el Acuerdo Bicentenario, indicó un estudio de la organización Elementa DDHH. En el informe “Extraditar la verdad México”, la ONG reveló que según documentos obtenidos del colectivo Guacamaya, mientras se negociaba el Acuerdo Bicentenario la Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (Sedena) garantizó a las autoridades estadunidenses que México extraditaría cada año al vecino país a 60 presuntos narcotraficantes. Y este compromiso fue seguido al pie de la letra por López Obrador, quien cada año de su sexenio firmó la extradición de 61.9 mexicanos en promedio, así la cifra exacta para cumplir la cuota de 60. Estas extradiciones ocurrieron “pese a la retórica no intervencionista del presidente López Obrador, quien al igual que sus antecesores contribuyó a la estrategia kingpin”, la cual se centra en perseguir a los líderes de los grupos criminales y no en combatir el crimen. El reporte, que coordinaron la directora de Elementa DDH, Adriana Muro, y la directora de la oficina en México, Renata Demichelis, contabilizó las extradiciones a Estados Unidos que firmó López Obrador desde el inicio de su gobierno hasta junio de este año, lo que arrojó un promedio de 5.1 cada mes. López Obrador realizó menos extradiciones que los presidentes Felipe Calderón (615) y Enrique Peña Nieto (421), pero su vehemente discurso contra el intervencionismo contrasta con su colaboración con Estados Unidos no sólo en materia de narcotráfico, sino también en el tema de la migración, en el que México ha jugado un papel para contener los flujos de migrantes latinoamericanos. De acuerdo con Elementa DDHH, la política criminal en materia de drogas de Estados Unidos, cuya piedra angular es la extradición, “representa un beneficio para la crisis de corrupción e impunidad que prevalecen en las instituciones de justicia de nuestro país”. Esto, porque “la política bilateral actual permite que la responsabilidad judicial recaiga en la jurisdicción estadounidense”, es decir, se ha extraditado a ese país el proceso penal, lo cual “facilita que México evada su responsabilidad de investigar y sancionar y debilita a las instituciones locales”. El informe de la ONG de derechos humanos, seguridad y política de drogas señaló que las dependencias gubernamentales en México “pierden memoria institucional y conocimiento práctico para procesar casos tan relevantes como el de Édgar Veytia (exfiscal nayarita), Genaro García Luna (exsecretario de Seguridad) y (el narcotraficante) Joaquín Guzmán Loera”. También propicia las delaciones y los presuntos secuestros de criminales ocurridos en territorio mexicano con el propósito de entregarlos a Estados Unidos, como ocurrió en julio pasado con el jefe histórico del Cártel de Sinaloa, Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, quien fue al parecer plagiado por Joaquín Guzmán López para negociar un acuerdo con la Fiscalía del vecino país. Los fiscales estadunidenses, señaló la ONG, han promovido las negociaciones para lograr que una persona acusada testifique en contra de un coacusado o pueda apoyar al gobierno en señalar a otras personas implicadas en actividades delictivas. “Esto permite que se mantenga la espiral de persecución en países productores de drogas sin afectaciones concretas a la operación del mercado”, agregó el informe. Lo que hay en la práctica es un sistema burocrático en el que las agencias antidrogas, a las cortes y a los fiscales, se centran en abultar estadísticas para aparentar que luchan contra las drogas y para engrosar sus presupuestos. “Esto es una utilización política de las extradiciones”, dijo la directora de Elementa DDHH, Adriana Muro. A los fiscales y a las cortes estadounidenses tampoco les interesa si es ilegal la llegada a su país de las personas para enfrentar acusaciones por delitos de drogas. “En el caso Humberto Álvarez Machaín, relacionado con el asesinato del agente de la DEA, Enrique ‘Kiki’ Camarena, la Suprema Corte estadounidense validó su secuestro en territorio mexicano (ocurrido en abril de 1990) previo a su traslado a Estados Unidos, lo cual valida casos recientes como el de ‘El Mayo’ Zambada”, señaló el documento. Y sostuvo que las acciones de extraterritorialidad judicial promovidas por la DEA benefician tanto a los objetivos de la política criminal estadounidense, como a la impunidad y corrupción de las instituciones de justicia en México”. La ONG, con sedes en México y Colombia, deploró que los procesos en Estados Unidos por delitos de drogas se centren “en gramos y sustancias, no en la vida de miles de personas afectadas por el sistema bélico de la prohibición y las redes de corrupción que permiten que opere el mercado”. De 150 casos de extradiciones revisados por Elementa DDHH, en sólo tres se sentenciaron delitos asociados a víctimas. “Para las cortes que juzgan sobre delitos de drogas cometidos en México, las víctimas existen cuando cumplen un rol o para la política criminal de Estados Unidos”, señaló, y sostuvo que a menudo se olvida que los narcotraficantes también son responsables de violaciones masivas a los derechos humanos. La ONG llamó la atención sobre la opacidad del Acuerdo Bicentenario, suscrito por el gobierno de López Obrador con Estados Unidos en 2021. “No se publicó el convenio original y no existen reportes de acceso libre que demuestren los avances en sus indicadores de evaluación”, sostuvo Elementa DDHH y alertó que ese acuerdo “ha continuado con el modelo bélico y punitivo de la prohibición en sus objetivos e indicadores”, uno de los cuales son las extradiciones. www.acapulcopress.com Read the full article
