Brett Bair on Fox News said this guy was only 5 foot tall. You gotta respect someone at that height in that business being so successful.

He should ask Obama for a pardon. And a cabinet slot.

NYers claim he is no different than Madoff or any of their Wall Street businessmen.

This is why the war on drugs will never work (actually one of various reasons). The solution thus far has been to try and take the war to the drug peddlars (not even the top hierachy for the most part ....jails are filled with the corner hustlers and other two-dollar type folk, many times those who deal in marijuana ....in Minneapolis and St Paul there have been people killed because of KHAT ...goodness, khat!) Now, it seems that they are trying to put some pressure on the people upstairs, such as this individual.

Problem is, as long as there is demand for their product (and based on the US$ 64 billion per annum from the US alone, there IS demand) it really will not matter if tomorrow they managed to gun down this fella! It will not even skip a single beat! The distribution networks are in place, the managers are in place, the coyotes are in place, the people who pay off the Feds in Mexico AND the US are in place, the corrupt Feds in both countries are in place ....the only difference is that a person who may very well be a figurehead will be dead! As long as the demand exists, that vacuum will be filled, and may be filled by someone who is even more vicious (e.g. the Zetas, who have really been taking violence to the next level).

I recall an advert after 9/11 that had a message stating that taking heroin puts money in the hands of Al Queda. I thought the ad was a little silly (similar to the one that compares making a copy of a DVD or music CD with stealing ....silly in that I don't think a drug user or a CD copier will really care much for the ad), but as ineffective as it might have been it was at least trying to address the deman equation. Because, even if the entire Mexican, Central and South American drug operations were to be magically shut down today (say by Pixies, Goblins and UFOs attacking at the crack of dawn), all it would mean is that another locus would open up. For the chance to get some of that US$ 64b I might be tempted to turn some of the land I own in Africa to growing the poison (not that I would, but I know the thought would cross my mind. Now imagine the average person out there).

As long as demand exists, and the 'authorities' are mostly trying to throw the poor oafs at the street corner into jail (and every now and then managing to capture or kill a bigger fish), the war on drugs will NEVER succeed.

Unless, of course, OBama has access to goblins and fairies (and I don't mean the San Franscisco kind)

All of a sudden I understand the urgency to bring down the mexican druglords. Our own corrupt government wants their cash. I should have known it was too good to be true.

If this guy were really smart he’d switch to Amway, he’s already got the distribution network in place........and he wouldn’t have to worry about the feds anymore.
