I was shocked when on the news last night they were interviewing people from his hometown cheering his escape. They said they miss his money. I guess blood money is better than no money in Mexico.

At least he takes care of his own. But one thing for sure is, don't underestimate these King Pins when there empire or when they know there facing jail time. Anyone who has seen cocaine cowboys knows that these fuckers don't play. They will send a hit squad to the States regardless who the target is. My guess is, next time they find him, i bet he doesn't take one step before they kill him. Heavy is the head and you know some who wants the crown is gonna give him up.

You could look at it this way as too, the USA already failed once to have him extradited because Mexico was confident it can handle it's own shit (lol) so lets say El Shortass hires someone to blow a hole in trump's head - a guy running for president, no less, with all the prestige that goes with it - how long before the same type of helicopter that crashed into bin laden's house crashes into some mexican house and he ends up dumped in the ocean. I'd give it a week, tops.
I don't think so, it took them a decade to find Bin Laden let alone any of his major accomplices during the hunt. The stark contrast between El Chapo and Bin Laden is that:

1. El Chapo is real(lol)

2. El Chapo has a major cult of personality amongst the Mexican populace and to some extent the Mexican-American population as well meaning that they'll be a good chance that any suspect won't give him away that easily.

3. Mexico is a big place compared to Afghanistan and Pakistan and he can easily travel to any other Central American country with ease while America has to go through all the red-tape just to get him.

‘El Chapo’ May Have Used Bird to Test Escape Tunnel Air
By AZAM AHMED and PAULINA VILLEGASJULY 15, 2015

MEXICO CITY — To plot his escape from the most secure prison in Mexico, Joaquín Guzmán Loera, the drug kingpin known as El Chapo, is believed to have relied on countless little birds to whisper information into his ear and help whisk him to freedom.

Now, it appears that at least one of them was an actual bird.

Government officials visiting Mr. Guzmán’s cell after his breakout discovered the body of a small bird sitting in his trash can. The bird, they believe, was used to test the air quality of the tunnel through which Mr. Guzmán vanished — like coal miners who used canaries — according to an official helping to coordinate the manhunt. Officials are calling the bird “Chapito.”

It was one of many marvels of the kingpin’s escape. The architects of his tunnel gave it lighting, a motorcycle on rails to transport the displaced earth and oxygen tanks. It was built high enough so that Mr. Guzmán, whose nickname means “Shorty,” could stan

Amazingly, the escape happened while a camera was watching over Mr. Guzmán. Surveillance video released Tuesday by Mexican officials shows the moment he casually walked across his cell, crouched and disappeared through a hatch in his shower.

To reach Mr. Guzmán’s cell is to pass through a tangle of doors, halls, flights of stairs and courtyards in the three-story Altiplano prison. More than 17 gates must be opened by machine.

His cell was at the very end of the “special treatment” wing, on a hall with low ceilings shared by nine other high-priority cells. His, like the others, measured roughly 60 square feet and contained two concrete shelves, a concrete stool, a narrow bed, a thin mattress and a sink. The toilet, little more than a hole, sat between the sink and a waist-high wall separating the shower. Mold clung to the poorly painted walls, though the cell contained natural light and a window that could be partly opened.

How Mexico’s Most-Wanted Drug Lord Escaped From Prison (Again)

The shower itself barely measured more than the 20-by-20-inch hole in the floor through which Mr. Guzmán escaped. As a sheer feat of engineering its precision was astounding. A slender slab of concrete weighing about 20 pounds and threaded with metal rebar lay against the shower’s back wall, its removal the final step of Mr. Guzmán’s escape and the beginning of the mile-long tunnel.

It might seem odd for the government to offer a group of journalists a guided tour of the maximum-security prison where Mr. Guzmán outfoxed his captors. But the motive became apparent the further the tour delved: to show the extraordinary skill and determination required for such a maneuver. The layers of security were reminiscent of prisons in the United States.

Mr. Guzmán, leader of the multibillion-dollar Sinaloa Cartel, had evaded prison for 13 years before he was captured last year by the American and Mexican authorities in seaside Mazatlán, Mexico. He is notorious for ordering the construction of tunnels both to transport drugs and to evade the authorities.

In the video, he is seen bending behind a barrier meant to give prisoners privacy while showering — and then he is gone.
