Authorities seek to seize El Chapo's $12.6 billion assets
Lukas Mikelionis

Convicted Mexican drug cartel kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman owes the U.S. government more than $12 billion, federal prosecutors said Friday.

The prosecutors are now seeking to seize Guzman’s assets following his conviction back in February, following a three-month trial examining his drug trafficking into the U.S. as the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel.

The government aims to collect $12,666,191,704 from the drug lord and his narco-empire, the New York Post reported, citing new court papers filed in Brooklyn federal court.

Forfeiture laws at play here, if one reads the rest of the story. Perhaps, we are already entitled to this money, at least, what is in the USA.

They could send it to the We Build the Wall project they are actually getting something done.  Not just a wall but a nice road for Border Patrol to travel.  I am going to donate.  I would rather give my money to a wall than any political candidate or party.  These guys are working hard.  They showed they cut off 19 Cartel trails.

I just posted a thread on it.  They have a banner saying June 24-26 for donation marathon.


Doesn't look shut down.

Here's the information I think you were talking about.  Looks like they got past that because they finished that section and are proceeding.
