While El Chapo earned 14 billion in drug money from his trafficing, it's not like he took it with him to the US for his trial. You do realize that right? The money is with his cartel in Mexico.

So the US should ask politely for the Sinaloa cartel to hand over that drug money?


Whatever happened with that original plan, you know, Stop people sending money back to Mexico until the mexican government writes us the multi-billion dollar check? Was that all just smoke and mirrors?

That is funny. So the same has happened multiple times over. The gov't arrests a dealer. And they figure his career earnings (in this case the 14 billion), and say the will attempt to collect up to that amount. Of course Chapo doesn't actually have that money or access to it. It's with the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico. The others have it. And it's not like they are showing up with suitcases of cash for the US to take out of the kindness of their hearts. It's not like his past enforcers are going to work for free in order to pay back El Chapo's drug money he spent on them.

Kinda a funny diversion, but the chance of the gov't recouping any significant portion of his career earnings are about as good as getting your 40 bucks back you spent on a date that didn't end how you wanted.

Wouldn’t that be more of a case of “a Mexican” and not Mexico paying for the wall?

oh yea - there's a long way to go from here to there to be sure. i just think if it shook out that way it would be ironic. but like i told gator, kinda a rebate really as we'd be getting our own money back.

Good luck with that pipe dream..

That's not how it works. Though I liked your post. .....

Now that the seizure order has been produced the DOJ will hunt fur business connections...trust me they exist.
Not only do they exist they use legitimate
Business fronts and bank the operating money on both sides of the border.
That's where it can be seized. Will they get
14 billion ... I doubt it....

Once seized it will go into the general funds controlled by .. you guessed it....Pelosi.

Also this will literally take years.

Not a good option for wall money.

That still wouldn't be Mexico paying for the wall.

I agree. Seizing the money is what will happen. Just like when we seized Iran's billions.

This money could be used to fund the wall. Wouldn't cost the tax payers in America a dime. It would also give Pelousy a good way to grant the money.

It would be a win, win for both Trump and Pelousy. Hope Trump thinks of it and deals with Pelousy.

Pretty close though.... There's almost no distinction between Federales and the Cartels. Same can be said for The US at this point. Cartel money is all over DC .... Both parties.

yes that's what happened with Pablo Escobar, and the US siezed how much? (in the tens of millions, even though he was worth 30 times as much as El Chapo).

Remember the US has been searching for this money for decades, it wasn't just yesterday the US said "Ok now we need to work on stopping his assets and the flood of drug money". It's not like we've been just letting those fronts run until they had the conviction. Letting banks operate with known Sinaloa cartel money. His conviction changes none of that. They will still operate on a cash basis outside of banks that can be accessed and shut down.
