Mexico: FAIL thread

[The Johnny]

What do you guys think?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Are those all supposed to be the same guy? I wouldn't peg them as the same guy, but the pics are very different.

[The Johnny]

Same guy, 13 years apart supposedly. (2001ish vs. 2014)

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Hmmmm

There's no way to say anything conclusive about a person's identity from those photos, but it doesn't necessarily look like the same guy.

Earlobes are different.

Of course, plastic surgery could account for that, but it does make him being a double much more likely.

I did wonder why they would move against the Sinaloa Cartel now, with the drug war still raging.  I mean, Most-Favoured-Cartel-Status is, as far as I can see, still in effect.  Of course, putting Guzman in a cell does allow for a level of control over his activities, while showing that the US and Mexico are apparently not playing favourites...but I suppose capturing a body double still achieves the latter goal without disrupting the Sinaloa much.

I noted the earlobes as well, but it only bumped the probabilities. Interesting...

One of my line cooks is a Mexican and all night last night he was just non-stop with the Chapo conspiracy theories. I'm'a have fun with this now.

[The Johnny]

Well, with the shit the mexican government and the DEA are known to pull, im stuck at 50-50% chance.

[Cain]

Well, it looks like it might well be El Chapo.

Sinaloa are discussing their replacement leader.  Odds on favourite is Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada-Garcia.

Worth noting his son is currently in US custody, and preparing to give up all kinds of juicy information to avoid prosecution - info about other cartels, of course.  This is, of course, far more sophisticated than back in the old days when feudal lords would give their heir as a hostage to their liege because shut up it just is.

My problem with all that is this
No i did NOT look
Only wonder is it an EarthThing event????/
Probably some UF0's in the area causing 0ut.age

This got dissolved:

LyFC was a state-run electric company which got dissolved and assimilated by CFE (Federal Electric Commission).

There seems to be valid reasons for it not existing anymore, but my point is that all over the country theres manifestations and stuff, there were about a million people at least protesting just here in the capitol.

The telephone sindicate is going along with them too, and im not sure who else.

That gets even funnier when you think about how hostages in those times were treated. Pretty well, until they weren't useful anymore. Or very well indeed if there was a chance of them ending up with a degree of power eventually.
