It’s difficult to make out what is actually the case here but I’m sure it will all come out eventually

Well, my own preliminary theory is that Guzmán López tricked or abducted El Mayo and will get the $15 million reward but will have to do some prison time, and the US released his brother as part of the deal. I can see no reason why El Mayo would turn himself in for love or money; he is 76 and he almost surely would die in prison. Even if he is sick, he would no doubt have preferred to die in Mexico..The trillions of US dollars spent on the so called “War on Drugs” has been a gargantuan and useless political game with drug use worldwide at all time highs…drug use will never be solved by arresting dealers, everyone and even the DEA, knows that…radical as it seems, I think safer drugs need to be provided by governments and the massive profits used at least in part, to tackle their use and addiction treatment. I am a recovered alcoholic and addict who almost died 24 years ago from my drug use and have been clean and sober since, by the Grace of God…Most of the time I did work and function, but sure could have saved a fortune if drugs were cheaper, although I might still be addicted today…81 years old..?Most people don’t change when they see the light, but when they feel the heat”.. the heat is when you get sick and tired of being sick and tired..

No, there are obviously three: (a) Tricked; (b) Abducted; and (c) Ruse for surrender. My bet is on the 3rd.

But the dance partner for the corrupt DEA and its kook fellowtravers is the stupidity and greed of cartels that won’t make proper meth and won’t dilute fentanyl from being toxic waste. If the USA had an ounce of integrity it would legalize of some of these compounds (thus channeling the consumption and trafficking) and would decimate its disgusting demand for that which it prosecutes foreigners.

Agreed. I’m more confused after reading the article.

Hello Bárbara,

As Bradford points out below there were two separate contradictory stories about how Ismael Zambada ended up in U.S. custody. In this article, I outlined both those stories, neither of which has been publicly confirmed by U.S. authorities.

On Saturday, a lawyer for Zambada outlined a third version of events – that his client was “forcibly kidnapped” by Joaquín Guzmán López.

Thanks for reading. We will have further reporting on the arrest of Zambada and the events that preceded it this week.

I thought the article read well given that there are contradictory pieces of information, for example, one turned himself in so that he could see his son before he dies and he wants to avoid that label so please communicate he was captured. Complicated at this stage but helpful to see all of the back and forth

A clearer article would be appreciated.

Sounds like a “Dog and Pony Show”
