drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Loera, aka Shorty, Makes Forbes Criminal List



Mexico finally makes the Forbes list. Wait I thought that list was for "honest businessmen", not Mexican immigrants. No, you say, he's a Mexican, not an immigrant. well then there must be something wrong with this fellow. Oh yea he's a big shot drug lord in sunny Mexico, not a real businessman. Nay he escaped prison through their laundry service and then retained his drug cartel pulling in 19-39 billion in wholesale cocaine proceeds. I'd have to say that's pretty real, or at least pretty clever. Guzman Loera is the head of the Sinaloa drug cartel.
The Attorney General of Mexico was not pleased:
"I will never accept that a criminal could be recognized as someone distinguished, even if it is by a magazine like Forbes," Medina Mora said at a drug traffic summit Thursday in Vienna, Austria, CNN reports.
Forbes is "comparing the deplorable activity of a criminal wanted in Mexico and abroad with that of honest businessmen," he said.
Nor is the Mexican president:
"It is very sad the intensification of a campaign, which seems to me, has been launched against Mexico," President Felipe Calderon said.

True we've launched a campaign against you, but you can't keep a homicidal drug lord in prison, and then you can't track him down after he escapes with his dirty laundry, take his money and disperse it among the poorest in your country? Shame shame Calderon, it is a dirty game this country running eh. Forbes has other wrong doers atop the list, trust me on that one. How do the druglords file thier earnings anyway?
