Feds say Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman owes U.S. $12B

No more planes, personal zoos, or tiny trains for convicted cartel kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman if the feds have their way.

Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn Friday said they are seeking to seize over $12 billion in assets from the onetime leader of the Sinaloa Cartel following his February drug-trafficking conviction.

In total, the government wants to collect $12,666,191,704.00 from the runty drug lord and his empire, according to new court papers filed in Brooklyn federal court.

Multiple witnesses testified during his 11-week trial that the now-62-year-old once lived opulently — enjoying a fleet of planes, gold-plated, jewel-encrusted guns, and even had his own zoo equipped with a little train to ferry him around the enclosures.

Joe Biden will spend it in a blink of the eye.

Democrats will somehow either divert the funds or stand in the way of collecting.

I think he owes 10% of it to me. Please post where I send my email address so El Chapo can send the money.
