El Chapo.

Made more money. Live longer.

[fiddy]

Both dudes are losers.

Chapo and Escobar had billions of dollars, and one is dead and the other one is going to get ass ****ed in prison until he kills himself.

Who is the winner?
Both of them.

Actually a good point that gets lost too often.

[highwhey]

chapo has made more money


if youve never been to mexico, you have no idea how easy it is to buy off police. $20 gets you off a speeding ticket, imagine how much a billionaire can get away with? the whole country is corrupt as fck, look at their underdeveloped roads and highways, wonder why they have potholes even after 5-10 years of the government having granted money to rebuild them? the money gets diverted into pockets other than contractors. a lot of politicians are scumbags who will take money and look the other way.


you have to understand that cops in mexico dont even make the equivalent of what a mcdoanlds employee on minimuim wage earns a month here in the u.s earning a couple hundred dollars a month is a good job in mexico, ~400 A MONTH! now imagine being bribed a couple thousand, are you going to refuse?

Really? they had the lifestyle millions dreamed about, covet and would kill to get there for a month.

I'd rather be Paul Allen. Have enough money to make these two guys look like pitiful beggars, own 2 sports teams (one of whom just won you a championship), helped to found a massive multibillion dollar business, and be healthy with a long life expectancy.

That is a winner right there.

do you think a show about paul allen would beat the ratings of walter white? everyone wants to be the badass

Well Pablo Escobar was actually a pretty sick person and donated a lot of money to development of roads, hospitals, schools, etc. A lot of negative views of him are from extremely biased pro-War-on-Drugs sources. He was well loved and a hero in Colombia, so I take back him being called a loser.

Paul Allen still >>>>> El Chapo or Escobar though. Yeah, no one would watch his show... but he'll be the one drinking from a $75,000 bottle of scotch this year while the drug lords are in chains or six feet under.

Paul Allen could literally buy EVERYTHING El Chapo owns, all the houses, cars, guns, drugs, jewelry, etc. He could pile it up together, set it all on fire, and then rent a military jet to drop firebombs on it.

After he did this he would still be well over 10x richer than El Chapo Guzman and would still have over 90% of his wealth remaining.

Even while Escobar was at his height, lots folks thought fabio Ochoa was more powerful

No one is arguing allens net worth, but he isn't a legend. El Chapo has an incalculable amount of songs written about him. Has paul allen ever escaped from prison? Has he ever pulled up to a restaurant and seized every phone then paid for everyone's bill? Mexico is a poverty struck country, so on a relative basis he is as wealthy ss Paul is to the average us citizen

Too bad online social media didn't exist back then to see pics of how Escobar and his people enjoyed their money.

It's crazy to think how freely these CDS guys shared all these pics...

I meant in terms of power. Tony Montana was nothing compared to Escobar.

How stupid could people possibly be? :facepalm

If I'm Chapo or any other cartel boss, as soon as I find out my subordinates are posting incriminating stuff on f*ckin twitter... I put out a hit on all of them. Leave them in the street with a computer mouse shoved up their ass as a message.

Unbelievable.

yeah it really is jaw-droppingly stupid...but you know it's an illegal business, it's not like they have manager's meetings on how to conduct themselves online :lol ...and on top of that these guys probably never set foot in school at even a high school level...school for them was watching Scarface over and over

[brownmamba00]

At his peak Pablo Escobar was making $1 million/day. his cartel smuggled 15 tons of cocaine everyday in whole America.


According to Roberto Escobar (his accountant), he and his brother's operation spent $2500 a month purchasing rubber bands to wrap the stacks of cash, storing most of it in their warehouses; 10% had to be written-off due to "spoilage" by rats who crept in at night and nibbled on the hundred dollar bills

can't make this shit up:oldlol:

[Canelo_Griffin]

One critical thing to consider is that this cartel basically did whatever the F.ck they wanted with complete impunity. Thus, they weren't too worried about sharing their whereabouts and their activities, in regards to the authorities capturing them. The only people they needed to worry about was rival cartels.

It's been widely speculated that the Sinaloa Cartel was lowkey working with the CIA and the Mexican Government. The cartel would give intel on rival cartels and the CIA/Mex Govt. would grant them immunity to continue their trafficking.

It's interesting how all 4 accounts basically stopped activity around the same time, which leads me to believe that something happened that changed that relationship between the govt and the cartel. Not only was @comandante57_ arrested recently..@ZambadaSerafin was also arrested trying to cross the border into the US in November. Funny thing is that he was born in San Diego, so by law he is just as American as any of us :lol

I noticed that as well...

@comandante57_ ended in September...and he is the one that got caught due to his Instagram posting

the others all ended pretty much THE SAME DAY...Nov. 10, Nov. 9, and Nov. 8


my theory?...the news that @comandante57_ was arrested BECAUSE of Twitter/Instagram didn't hit them until Nov.10...and once that happened all the others suddenly decided to stop Tweeting lol

The thing is @comandante57_ wasn't arrested till December 30th, 2013 in Amsterdam. His twitter was compromised by a spambot, as you can see from his last tweet, so he just continued using his instagram instead. I remember hearing about his arrest and I immediately googled his instagram and that mfer was still uploading a couple more pics/vids even tho according to the news, he was already in custody.

This is one of them, the caption is basically him making a sarcastic comment in regards to reading about his arrest. According to the facts, he was arrested on December 30th but in another video, on his instagram, he was dancing while the fireworks were seen in the background, breaking in the new year. :oldlol: cheeky bastard

Interestingly, his instagram was deleted but not his twitter...
