Atasas Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 U.S. has not found 'one dollar' of El Chapo’s money http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.3134052.1493833448!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article_1200/mexico-crime.jpg The feds have hit a wall when it comes to seizing El Chapo’s money. After Texas Sen. Ted Cruz proposed a plan last month to stick reputed drug cartel king El Chapo with the tab for President Trump’s much-ballyhooed border wall, it was revealed Wednesday that American authorities have not been able to find a trace of his dirty money. According to Mexico’s attorney general, getting the jailed drug lord — whose real name is Joaquin Guzman — to foot the border bill is as reasonable as expecting him to turn over a new leaf. “As of today, U.S. authorities have not found not even one dollar of El Chapo’s assets,” Mexican Attorney General Raul Cervantes said in a local TV interview. EL CHAPO Act proposes funding Trump wall with cash from drug lord A federal indictment in the United States seeks the forfeiture of more than $14 billion of drug proceeds and illicit profits allegedly derived from the Sinaloa Cartel’s activities. Mexico has only found minor assets belonging to Guzman, Cervantes said. “His money hasn’t been found because he didn’t use the financial system,” he added. Prosecutors balk at Amnesty International jail probe for El Chapo But Trump was one-upped by Cruz, his former campaign rival, who said Guzman’s money should help pay for the wall http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/u-s-not-found-dollar-el-chapo-money-article-1.3134053 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDITED: I mean, the money is (was?) in effective, hidden. Quite probably some of it was found and fairly distributed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a serious note, whole system failed due to old ways of understanding of finances... there are plenty of poor people, that are holders of his money with no proof or way to confiscate any of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikie Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Billions ! If you found billions in cash, would you tell anyone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent 86 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 @mikie has a good point! But if they have not found any of it for real, I am glad. I consider my govt to be a much bigger criminal than el Chapo is, was, or ever could be! My govt would spend it in worse ways than the cartel, of this I am sure.

nIGHT Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 14 billions? This is how much money people spent on drugs. If only they stop that dangerous vice and donate that money they supposed to spend on drugs to help other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dMog Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Ted Cruze only succeeded in making himself look like a big asshat in saying what he said.... only confirming what the voters thought of him during the primary...but how they allowed themselves to vote for they ended up electing in the primaries is mystery never to be solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
