On Feb. 12, 2018, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, the former leader of the Sinaloa cartel, was found guilty on all federal counts, including engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise. The trial, which lasted three months, attracted an unusual amount of attention and scrutiny, due to the elusive, dangerous nature of the defendant. Precautions were taken […]
Federal prosecutors are calling BS on El Chapo. Earlier this month, attorneys for the convicted drug lord claimed their client was enduring “cruel and unusual” prison conditions, so much so that they asked a judge to intervene. El Chapo—legal name Joaquín Guzmán—claimed he was not receiving a sufficient amount of water, sunlight, fresh air, or exercise. […]
Emma Coronel Aispuro, former pageant queen and wife of notorious drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, announced last month that she would be launching a clothing brand this summer inspired by her convicted husband.

Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán has become an unlikely fashion influencer. Two years after Barabas made bank off its “Most Wanted Shirt” design, the drug lord’s designer daughter is attempting to profit off her father’s name with an El Chapo-inspired clothing brand. It’s a pretty well-timed venture, as the kingpin is in the midst of a highly publicized trial for drug trafficking, money laundering, […]
Calling into work with a BS reason definitely carries some risk. If you’re caught lying about an illness or a family emergency, chances are you’ll receive some kind of punishment like a slap on the wrist, immediate termination, or—if you’re working for a notorious drug lord—death. During a Tuesday’s trial for Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, jurors heard […]
Put aside the presidential corruption, the trains of cocaine, and all the other bonkers stuff we’ve learned from El Chapo’s ongoing trial in Brooklyn.
