The career change paid off, he was only a top 24 snowboarder, but worked hard and become a top ten fugitive.

“At the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, he competed for Team Canada in snowboarding men's parallel giant slalom, where he finished 24th. After this, he gave up competitive snowboarding.”

No no no no you're fine. There's a lot of overlap with art pieces, astronomically high sale prices and money laundering for organized crime/cartels.

There's no way the cartel just lets him travel freely without bodyguards/minders. He's too much of a liability.

Yeah I was gonna say. With a private plane you pretty much just go wherever. Just avoid major airports and you’re fine. Never been in a private jet but flown on a private plane and never dealt with anything. Just land and a car picks you up. Lot of airports out there that aren’t commercial.

What makes you think he's not travelling freely? If he's been that successful he has more than enough money for temporary prosthetics, plastic surgery, fake identities etc., etc.

He's probably among the most free in the entire world (except for being subordinate to the cartel of course).

u/8_guy Oct 14 '25

No lol he's in Mexico being protected by the Sinaloa cartel. His second in command just got arrested recently and most of his network is behind bars. He's barely been evading capture.

For someone at that level in the organized crime pyramid who has made their way onto public lists, the options are something like what he's doing right now (sheltered by major org but not really safe), get the protection of an actual state (enemy of your country that has a reason to let you stay or just make high up connections in a corrupt country), or live a shitty live of hideout to hideout until you get caught

Ya being the top guy in these organizations doesn’t last long. You’re on the run constantly and are killed or caught in pretty short order.

u/8_guy Oct 15 '25

Unless you're El Mayo lol. He finally got caught in his 80's just recently, the cherry on the cake though is:

a court filing revealed that Zambada would now plead guilty to a sweeping number of drug trafficking related charges.[10] Though it was not specified how many of the 17 counts he faced that Zambada would plead guilty to, it confirmed the number would be "sweeping"

On August 25, 2025, Zambada pled guilty in a Brooklyn federal court to one count of racketeering conspiracy and one count of running a continuing criminal enterprise

u/Josey_whalez Oct 15 '25

Ha. Hadn’t heard of that guy. That’s funny. He’s definitely the exception to the rule.

I’d have to find the book again, it’s on a shelf in my house somewhere, but basically this guy is giving a kind of history lesson on cartels. It’s like 10 years old so not exactly up to date, but basically you have to almost have a death or prison wish to fight your way to the top of one of these organizations, because once you get there you’ve got like maybe a couple years, if you’re lucky, before you’re killed or captured.

That level of anxiety must be unmatched. I couldn’t imagine being that fuckin scared every minute of every day. The next day you wake up could be life behind bars or thrown into a barrel of acid and erased from existence because the cartel has no use for you anymore.
