After the Miguel Felix Gallardo broke up the power house cartel Guadalajara cartel into different cartels. El Chapo and Zambada got the Sinaloa cartel. According to the article of “El Chapo:the most powerful drug lord in history” it states “supervising logistics for another drug kingpin, Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, founder of the Guadalajara cartel. Guzmán kept a low profile, but when his boss was eventually arrested for the 1985 murder of an American Drug Enforcement Agency agent, he quickly emerged as one of the new faces of the Mexican drug world” (Geoffrey). In other words when Miguel Gallardo got arrested el chapo rose the ranks with Zambada as the new leaders of the sinaloa cartel. This is when the United States drug problem skyrocketed. Which is why he is wanted in Chicago, Miami, El Paso and San Diego, and two in New York. Maybe even New Hampshire” (Don’t Blow el Chapo’s extradition…
Pablo Escobar is maybe one of the biggest players in organized crime ever. Pablo Escobar's savage mind set is what set him different from other drug traffickers in Colombia.

Joaquin Guzman Loera was born on April 4, 1957, in La Tuna de Badiraguato, Sinaloa, Mexico. He's been pinned as Chicago's number one enemy because he has connections with the Sinaloa Cartel. This cartel operates on every continent. After being captured by Mexican authorities he was placed into their most maximum security, but that can't stop El Chapo. He went into the shower area, then all of the sudden he's gone. Once the Mexican police officials found out that he was gone, they found a mile long tunnel, equipped with lights, air ventilation system, and to top it of a motorcycle on a rail. This man has quite the connections, not only does he escape from maximum security prisons but he does it on a motorcycle underground. That is absurd. Then end of the tunnel leads to an abandoned shack on a farm. Apparently El Chapo and his cartel are famous for the use…

Pablo Escobar was known as one of the richest men in the 20th century because of his involvement in the selling of drugs from Colombia to North America and Europe. In Medellin, he was known amongst the poor people as “Robin Rood”. Even though Pablo Escobar obtained his fortune through an illegal way, he never left the poor behind and this is why he was so loved.

On the other I hand, I believe Pablo Escobar harmed Colombian society in a huge way. People were afraid to go to the streets after 5pm…
