Mexico's most wanted man, "El Chapo", or Shorty, heads the Sinaloa cartel, one of the biggest suppliers of Cocaine to the U.S. In 1993 was arrested in Mexico on homicide and drug charges. Escaped from federal prison in 2001, reportedly through the laundry, and quickly regained control of his drug trafficking organization, which he still controls today. In 2008 Mexican and Colombian traffickers laundered between $18 billion and $39 billion in proceeds from wholesale shipments to the U.S. Shorty, an alleged tunnels expert, is believed to have directed anywhere from a third to half of that during the past 8 years. Apparently started out working with Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo, "El Padrino", or the Godfather, head of the most powerful drug trafficking group in Mexico at that time. U.S. government is offering a $5 million reward for his capture.

Thats what i'm saying. I say a guy on the Yahoo front page that lost 25 bil but was still on the list. Dealers are one of the few whoaren't losing jack.
 
Guzmán reportedly strolled into a Nuevo Laredo restaurant called " Las Tostadas Sirverias" which is located in the center of the city, with a fleet of bodyguards. After taking his seat, his men collected the cell phones of approximately forty diners and instructed them to not be alarmed. After eating he dropped a handful of hundred-dollar bills on the table and walked to the door. He turned around and said, "Order what you want, and I'll pay," and went on his way

Dude is most likely working with some higher ups in our government.
 
Funny how some immature people on NT think this guy is "cool" and "gangster", when in fact, as the article states, this man is responsiblefor the deaths of over 1000 people. All of the money this dude has came at the expense of many people and their families and Forbes should not even give thisman any recognition.
