El Mayo getting caught is no small matter. It's as big as them getting El Chapo.

Bigger, they call mayo and chapo co founders, but mayo had all the routes and connections, they don’t call this guy the Mexican godfather for no reason

Another little known fact is that he learned his drug routes from his brother in law who was a Cuban national and a cia operator his name was Antonio. Cruz vasquez

[@jhowardsupporter]

I doubt El Chapo is still in jail. He's being kept in there by guards paid 60k a year when he can pay them 60 million? Can we visit him, do they have narco tours stopping at the prison to see him? Doesn't make sense to me like where is Epstien's body?
