A murderous British-American multi-millionaire onÂ
the run in touristic Mexico; a billionaire thief  being dismembered and thrown to the sharks;Â
a man so extremely violent you get $5 million  if you can help get him arrested.
We’ve got it all for you today. Listen carefully because there’s a minimum rewardÂ
of $100,000 if you can provide information that  leads to the arrest of any of these people.
Arnoldo Jimenez May 12, 2012. Burbank, Illinois. There’sÂ
love in the air at Chicago's City Hall.  A now-married couple, 24-year-oldÂ
Estrella Carrera and 30-year-old  Arnoldo Jimenez have just lookedÂ
into each other’s eyes and sworn  under God to love and to cherish eachÂ
other until they are parted by death… Which happened a few hours later when CarreraÂ
was stabbed and dumped in a bathtub, still  wearing her silver sequined cocktail dress,Â
the same dress she’d worn for the ceremony. Spouses murdering spouses is nothing new, it’sÂ
been going on since holy matrimony became a thing,  but murder after just a few hoursÂ
of marriage is incredibly rare.  What kind of maniac would do such a thing? There were early signs that Jimenez mightÂ
be capable of murder. He was said to be  possessive of Carrera, and at six feet tallÂ
and over 200 pounds, he towered over his  lover. The two had a two-year-old son, andÂ
Carrera had an eight-year-old daughter from  another relationship – a straight-A studentÂ
at her school in Chicago's Southwest Side. According to one of Carrera’s friends, theÂ
reason for the rushed and low-key wedding  was that Jimenez had been threatening to takeÂ
both kids from her. “She was really scared,  and that was the last time I talkedÂ
to her,” the friend told the press. The two didn’t want to invite many people at theÂ
ceremony, but they’d invited some of their friends  out to a Mexican restaurant to celebrate,Â
with a plan to go to a nightclub after. What  happened next, we don’t know. We do know that theÂ
couple was last seen around 4 am. At some point,  Jimenez called his sister and told her he’dÂ
had a “bad fight” with his new wife. That  fight led to him becoming the 522nd fugitiveÂ
on the FBI’s Most Wanted list since 1950. Carrera’s body was found sometime later,Â
lying the bathtub of her apartment,  her pretty dress bloodied and her body showingÂ
stab wounds. Soon police were saying the suspect,  Jimenez, was last seen driving a 2006Â
Maserati with the Illinois license plate  L641441. The background check showed he’dÂ
once been arrested for domestic violence,  but in another state with another woman.
Investigators aren’t sure where he went  after, but it’s expected he mightÂ
have fled to Durango in Mexico,  possibly to the area of Santiago Papasquiaro.Â
Jimenez may also have gone to Reynosa, Tamaulipas,  in Mexico. We know that his phone was trackedÂ
to Chicago and then to Tennessee, and later to  Arkansas. It was last used in Hidalgo, Texas, nearÂ
the Mexican border, but that was back in 2012. Jimenez is charged with first-degree murder inÂ
Cook County with added federal charges of unlawful  flight to avoid prosecution. As with all theseÂ
people you’ll hear about today, if you can help,  call 1-800-CALL-FBI or if outside of theÂ
US, contact your nearest American consulate. This next crime is beyond brutal.
Alexis Flores July 29, 2000. 5-year old IrianaÂ
DeJesus was playing outside her  house with her sister in the HuntingÂ
Park neighborhood of North Philadelphia. It’s hard to say what happened next, butÂ
the last time little Iriana was seen,  she was walking down the street with a man.
Her mother came rushing out of the house  frantically, asking where her daughter had goneÂ
and who this man was. For the next three days,  police and the community searched high andÂ
low, and on the third day, the mother’s worst  nightmare became a reality. Iriana was foundÂ
dead, her body stuffed into a trash bag under  some rolls of carpet. She’d been strangled.Â
Notably, a bloodied t-shirt was lying nearby,  unmistakable due to its unique political logo.
A local resident came forward and said he knew  that t-shirt. He’d lent it to a homeless guyÂ
named Carlos. He’d felt sorry for him, so he’d  given him some clothes and some odd jobs to do.Â
Carlos was, in fact, a man named Alexis. But  for seven long years, the police had no idea whatÂ
monster had committed this violent act of crime. Before we tell you more about this man, we shouldÂ
explain something. Terrible crimes happen all the  time in the US, so why do some fugitives getÂ
on the FBI’s Most Wanted list and others don’t?  There are criteria, although it’s quite vague.
First, the person must be a danger to society,  but that’s pretty obvious. Another main reason isÂ
the police think by putting someone on the list,  publicity will be the best way to capture them.Â
They stay on the list until they are arrested,  the charges are dropped, or they no longerÂ
meet those criteria. As of January 2023,  529 fugitives have been added to the list,Â
and an impressive 93 percent have been caught,  with 31 percent being captured directlyÂ
because the public assisted in some way. The FBI believes that by letting people seeÂ
images of Alexis Flores, someone will get in  touch with them. Maybe you’ve even met him.
He was likely born in 1975 in Honduras,  although he’s lied a lot about his date ofÂ
birth in the past. He’s had various names,  including Mario Flores, MarioÂ
Roberto Flores, Mario F. Roberto,  Alex Contreras, and Alesis Contreras.
He’s about five feet four, has a slight build,  weighing around 140 pounds. He has black hair andÂ
brown eyes and speaks Spanish as well as English. That could be a lot of people, but if you metÂ
this guy, you’d see something very unique. He  has the word “Alexis” tattooed on his left handÂ
and the letters “LA” inked on his right hand.  He also has quite a large scar on his neck andÂ
cheek, the result of surgery after an injury that  happened to him during 1998’s Hurricane Mitch.
What’s such a pity about this case is the cops  had him not once but twice, but at the time, theyÂ
didn’t know he’d committed that murder. In 2000,  just a short time after he’d killed the girl, heÂ
was arrested in Arizona for shoplifting. In 2002,  he was arrested again. Cops had been calledÂ
to his apartment after someone had complained  about the noise, and when they looked atÂ
Flores’ ID, they soon discovered it was fake. Police reports said the man was friendly and calm,Â
although they noted that upon searching his house,  they discovered pornographic material lyingÂ
around. They also said the man told them  prior to living in Arizona, he’d lived inÂ
Illinois. Flores spent 60 days in jail for  the forgery of a document, and as soon as heÂ
was released, he was sent back to Honduras. It was only later that investigators linkedÂ
his DNA with the murder of that young girl.  He’s now been charged with murder asÂ
well as the unlawful flight to avoid  prosecution. You might be watching this inÂ
Honduras and think you’ve seen this man,  but there’s every chance FloresÂ
might have sneaked back into the  US and is currently living under a new name.
Our next criminal is a mastermind who ruined  countless people’s lives.
Ruja Ignatova Right now, there are just 11 women on theÂ
FBI’s Wanted List, which currently contains  hundreds of names. And to no surprise, RujaÂ
deserves to be there. In the financial world,  you could call her a princess of darkness. She’sÂ
also sometimes referred to as the Cryptoqueen.  That’s because, with her fake cryptocurrency,Â
she ripped people off to the tune of $4 billion. This Bulgarian-born German nationalÂ
created OneCoin, which to investors,  looked like a cryptocurrency that was goingÂ
places. In fact, this was a kind of pyramid  scheme and a Ponzi scheme all at the same time.Â
It wasn’t even a real decentralized cryptocurrency  but a currency hosted on OneCoin’s own servers.Â
In terms of how it worked, investors got other  investors to join the scheme, the pyramid part. ToÂ
keep investors happy, OneCoin paid older investors  with new investors’ money – what might be calledÂ
robbing Peter to pay Paul, or a Ponzi scheme. Ignatova and others behind the scam bankedÂ
the money in offshore accounts as starry-eyed  investors and young folks thinking they could getÂ
money for free piled their cash into the scheme.  In the UK alone, regular folks and largerÂ
investors lost about $120 million. For some  people, we are talking about their life savings.Â
In the US, investors gave her around $50 million. We know that Ignatova was born in 1980 toÂ
a middle-class Romani family in Bulgaria.  After moving to Germany, she worked in legitÂ
businesses and earned herself a legit Ph.D. She  also studied European law at Oxford University,Â
although it seems there’s some doubt about this.  What’s certain, though, is she did haveÂ
a reputation as a business professional. We imagine all the people endorsing her on herÂ
LinkedIn page are now feeling pretty stupid  because in 2017, when she was tipped off thatÂ
OneCoin was being investigated, she disappeared  into thin air. That’s some feat when your nameÂ
is tied to numerous businesses, and your face  has been seen all over the world. She boardedÂ
a plane in Sofia, Bulgaria, landed in Greece,  and has never been seen again, or at least, theÂ
people who most want to see her haven’t seen her. The FBI says she “conned unsuspecting victims outÂ
of billions of dollars” after claiming that her  OneCoin would be the “Bitcoin killer.” The truthÂ
is, OneCoin was about as valuable as second-hand  toilet paper. Investigations showed that whenÂ
Ignatova started the coin with some partners,  she called the first investors “idiots” andÂ
“crazy,” stating that when they were found out  for what they were doing, they should “takeÂ
the money and run and blame somebody else.” This is an incredibly smart woman, someoneÂ
who was believed when she told her school  friends that one day, she’d be rich. At aÂ
young age, she was a skilled chess player,  and in later life, she became fluentÂ
in Russian, German, and English. She was smart enough to go missing whenÂ
many of her investors started asking for  their money back. Her business partner, KarlÂ
Sebastian Greenwood, who was then living in a  plush house on the island of Koh Samui inÂ
Thailand, was left to pick up the pieces. He’s now serving 20 years in prison,  his Koh Samui beach tan a distant memory. ButÂ
where did she go? It was discovered not too  long ago that she’d tried to sell a swankyÂ
apartment in London for $15 million. She’d  tried to do this anonymously through agents, butÂ
her name popped up because of transparency laws. There is no doubt she still has manyÂ
houses and apartments and a great  deal of money. Those billions she stole areÂ
out there, and her investors are desperate  for her to get caught. It’s very possibleÂ
she’s had face-changing cosmetic surgery,  so she might look somewhat different. It’s alsoÂ
likely that she’s paying a personal security  team a lot of money to keep her safe.
It’s believed that after going missing,  she spent some time in Athens, Greece, andÂ
may have moved to the United Arab Emirates  or even gone back to Germany. But the FBIÂ
says she might also be hiding out in Russia,  some other part of Eastern Europe, or might evenÂ
be back in her former home of Bulgaria. The agency  will give you $100,000 for information that leadsÂ
to her arrest, but we imagine some investors out  there would give you more than that.
Still, there’s a rumor that she will  never be found, or at least in one piece.Â
The rumor states that she was murdered  aboard a yacht in 2018 on the orders of theÂ
Bulgarian drug lord, Hristoforos Amanatidis. One of his henchmen, who’s currently locked upÂ
in The Netherlands on drug trafficking charges,  is supposed to have killed her, chopped her up,Â
and thrown the pieces into the Ionian Sea off  mainland Greece. The reason is that AmanatidisÂ
was somehow part of her scam, and she just had  to go. Amanatidis is still at large, possibly inÂ
Dubai. Who knows, he might well be shacked up with  Ignatova, and as they watch this video from theirÂ
gilded palace, they are laughing their heads off. Now for some more American grime.
Omar Alexander Cardenas In 2019, a 46-year-old man was standing inÂ
the street close to a barber shop in Sylmar,  a small suburban neighborhood in theÂ
San Fernando Valley in California,  when he was gunned down. That man wasÂ
Jabali Dumas, described as a loving father  who worked his butt off at a local trashÂ
company to make ends meet for his family. This is why Dumas’ family and relatives wereÂ
absolutely shocked when they discovered what  had happened. A man walked towardÂ
Dumas and, from about 30 feet away,  fired off nine rounds from a semi-automaticÂ
handgun. One of the bullets hit Dumas in  the head and almost severed his brain, whichÂ
gave surgeons no chance of saving his life. This didn’t happen in the dead of nightÂ
when no one was around. There were quite  a few witnesses. One of them described theÂ
assailant as “a heavy-set Hispanic male,  light-complexioned, with noticeable,Â
prescription glasses, and wearing dark clothes.” Police later watched CCTV footage andÂ
saw that Dumas, after finishing work,  had walked onto the 11900 block of FoothillÂ
Boulevard, after which he went into the Hair  Icon Barber Shop. Around this time, CardenasÂ
can be seen walking in that direction. Later, the CCTV camera catchesÂ
the same man almost jogging away,  seemingly trying to tuck something into his jeans. It turned out that Dumas had left the barberÂ
shop, then gone into a discount store. The  cashier in the discount store later said sheÂ
often saw Dumas, and that day he seemed in a  good mood, complimenting her and howÂ
attractive she looked. Moments later,  he was standing against a pillarÂ
outside the store and was shot. The question is, why? Why such an awfulÂ
act, taking some kid’s father away from him? We may never know. Maybe these two had had aÂ
falling out in the past. Or maybe Cardenas,  who is known to have been a gang member, had anÂ
unsettled gang-related beef with Dumas. Cardenas,  also known by his gang friends asÂ
“Dollar” might have been sent to  execute Dumas. Cardenas has connections toÂ
the Pierce Street gang and possibly a gang  named Pacoima Van Nuys Boys – Anybody Killas.
While Dumas was working hard and said to be  living a straight life, news reports suggestÂ
that in his younger days, he had also been  part of the gang life. Investigators said itÂ
was possible that the now hardworking family  man had run with a group who could haveÂ
had a beef with the Pierce Street gang. Whatever the case, a son is missingÂ
a father, and Cardenas is on the run.  There’s every chance that someone watchingÂ
this show has seen Cardenas at some point. The FBI says he might have fledÂ
to Mexico, where he could be  working as a construction worker.
Peter Chadwick (just captured) Let’s now show how effective the FBI’s Wanted ListÂ
is. Hopefully, it might serve as some inspiration. In 2012, a wealthy Californian businessman namedÂ
Peter Chadwick strangled his wife to death,  High school sweethearts, and parent of his threeÂ
children; their relationship had turned very,  very sour. It seems they’d been arguing about aÂ
possible divorce and the related financial issues. That day their kids, aged 8, 10, and 14,Â
didn’t get picked up from school. Peter,  born in the UK, at first blamed a handymanÂ
and said the same man had kidnapped him,  but that didn’t make any sense to the police.
Mrs. Chadwick’s body was found strangled in a  dumpster, and a lengthy investigation wasÂ
started. Peter was a suspect but paid one  million in bail to stay out of jail as the caseÂ
took its course. In 2015, when it was looking  like Chadwick was going down for the murder,Â
he skipped a court date and left the country. He emptied some bank accounts of whatÂ
investigators said added up to over a  million. With so much money, he didn’t seem toÂ
have much difficulty going on the run. He used  a bunch of aliases and fake IDs and worked oddÂ
jobs down in Mexico. It seems over the years,  he must have run out of money andÂ
had to work like ordinary folks,  although it’s thought he might haveÂ
done those odd jobs, including teaching  Mexican kids English, just to pass the time.
In 2018, he went onto the FBI’s Most Wanted list,  and people heard about the $100,000 rewardÂ
money. Chadwick’s face and name kept appearing  on people’s TVs and computer screens,Â
and in 2020, someone said they’d seen  him bussing tables at a tourist restaurantÂ
close to Puebla in east-central Mexico. Working with this information, Mexican andÂ
US authorities arrested Chadwick and brought  him back to justice in the US after fiveÂ
years on the run. We don’t know who gave  the authorities that tip, but the pressÂ
reported that they got it as a direct  result of announcing that $100,000 was upÂ
for grabs. Investigators told the press,  “We received a tip with some generalÂ
information that... we could use to  pinpoint Mr. Chadwick's exact location.”
With that in mind, you’d think this next  killer would have been caught by now.
Bhadreshkumar Chetanbhai Patel April 12, 2015. It’s aboutÂ
9.30 pm when a married couple,  both working the night shift atÂ
the Dunkin' Donuts in Hanover,  Maryland, walk out of view of the CCTVÂ
camera at the back of the restaurant. Moments later, the man emergesÂ
alone, calmly switches off an oven,  and walks out of view again. What’s justÂ
happened is nothing short of brutal. As  waiting customers wondered why no one was servingÂ
them, a crime of pure horror was taking place. The man, Bhadreshkumar ChetanbhaiÂ
Patel, was 24 at the time. His wife,  Palak Bhadreskumar Patel, was 21. BothÂ
were Indian nationals living in the US,  where relatives of BhadreshkumarÂ
Patel had helped them secure work  and settle into the American way of life.Â
But something was obviously very unsettled. Because when they turned that corner,Â
Bhadreshkumar savagely beat Palak,  bashing her with his fists and then driving aÂ
large kitchen knife into her numerous times.  It was horrific even for the authorities, whoÂ
later said, “She was killed in a horrible way.” What would compel a husband to do somethingÂ
like that to his wife? They had their whole  lives ahead of them. They seemed to getÂ
along just fine, too. A regular customer  at the restaurant later said to the press, “IÂ
am shocked because they are very nice people.” Behind the mask of young love, problems had beenÂ
brewing. They both had visas to live and work in  the US, but those visas were about to expire. TheyÂ
had to think about the next step in their lives,  a step that was considerably different in bothÂ
their minds. Bhadreshkumar wanted to stay in  the US and try becoming a fully-fledged American,Â
while Palak wanted to return to her beloved India. On the evening of the crime, one of Palak’sÂ
relatives had talked with her on the phone. She’d  expressed that she was leaving the States, andÂ
the decision was final. Hidden around the corner  was Bhadreshkumar, who was enraged at hearingÂ
that. It wasn’t long after that he killed her. But where is he? There’s no evidence that heÂ
somehow managed to get back to India. That  would be very difficult, considering hisÂ
passport was immediately flagged. We know  that just after the murder, he walkedÂ
to his apartment, grabbed some things,  and got a cab to an airport in Newark, NewÂ
Jersey. The cab driver later remarked that  his passenger seemed friendly and calm. InÂ
New Jersey, Bhadreshkumar booked into a hotel. After a night in the hotel, he wentÂ
somewhere else. The FBI is not sure where,  but it’s suspected he might have had relativesÂ
helping him out. He was last seen on April 15 at  Newark Penn Station. Where he went after that isÂ
unknown, but the FBI says there’s a strong chance  he’s still in the US, likely with the assistanceÂ
of relatives. His closest relatives are in New  Jersey, Kentucky, Georgia, and Illinois,Â
although he may have headed to Canada. An FBI spokesperson expressed confidence in hisÂ
capture, saying, “I am certain with the public’s  help we will finally bring him back.” Still, likeÂ
all killers, he’s considered armed and dangerous,  so if you want to claim your $100,000,Â
it’s best you talk about his whereabouts  but refrain from getting too close to him.
Someone watching this show has likely been  in this man’s vicinity at some point, so rememberÂ
1-800-CALL-FBI. If you don’t like using the phone,  you can also write to tips.fbi.gov.
This next man is also considered to be very,  very dangerous, so again, don’t approach him.
Alexandro Castillo On November 26, 1998, the bundle ofÂ
joy known as Alexandro Castillo came  screaming into existence. What went wrongÂ
in the proceeding years is anyone’s guess,  but we can say with confidence that thisÂ
baby did not grow into a very nice young man. When Castillo was just 17, the age he was whenÂ
he committed the crime that got him on this list,  he was working at the Showmars restaurant inÂ
Charlotte, North Carolina. One of his colleagues  was 23-year-old Truc Quan “Sandy” Ly Le.
The two dated for a short while, but the  relationship was far from a happy one. TheyÂ
broke up, but Le didn’t let Castillo forget  that she had lent him some cash. On AugustÂ
9, 2016, Castillo sent Le a text message  that stated he was ready to pay back theÂ
money. He told her he wanted to meet her. That night Castillo was with his newÂ
girlfriend, 19-year-old Ahmia Feaster. Le met with the pair that night at QuikTrip onÂ
Eastway Drive. What happened next is uncertain,  but later, Le went to an ATM and withdrewÂ
$1,000. It’s thought she did this knowing a  gun was pointing at her back. She went missingÂ
after that and was found about one week later,  dumped in some woods along RobinsonÂ
Church Road in Cabarrus County. She’d  been shot in the head, execution style.
Police immediately put the message out  that they were looking for a male, 5-foot-6 andÂ
185 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. They  were also looking for Miss Feaster. RatherÂ
than begin her studies at Central Piedmont  Community College as she was supposed to, sheÂ
ran away with Castillo. A car belonging to her  was later found nearby, while Le’s 2003 ToyotaÂ
Corolla was later found in Phoenix, Arizona. We know exactly what happened next because the twoÂ
were seen crossing the border into Mexico, their  backpacks full of the necessities for a shortÂ
life on the run. Castillo has maintained this life  for many years now, but the FBI is pretty sure itÂ
won’t last forever. They say there’s a good chance  he’s still in Mexico, possibly in the cities ofÂ
Augua Calientes or San Francisco de Los Roma,  but he might have returned to the US.
If you’ve met him, he might now be going  under an alias, possibly Alejandro Rosales,Â
Alejandro Castillo, Alejandro Rosales-Castillo,  or Alejandro Rosalescastillo.
As for Feaster, she handed herself in,  in Texas, in 2016. There’s not much outÂ
there in terms of information about her,  but news reports in 2017 said she was out onÂ
bond. Le’s family was not happy about that at  all, according to people close to the case.
A news reporter asked one of the detectives,  “Was she afraid of him?”
The detective replied,  “Certainly. She would've been home, ifÂ
she could've gotten home, a lot earlier.” If only she’d gone to college that week,Â
her life would have been so much easier. There’s no news about the outcome of herÂ
trial, but we know she was indicted for  possession of a stolen vehicle and accessoryÂ
after the fact. If Castillo is ever caught,  he will deservedly spend much of his life,Â
if not the rest of his life, behind bars. Ok, last but not least, and arguably theÂ
most dangerous person in this show today,  someone who’s so sought after that if you can helpÂ
get him arrested, the reward is a whopping five  million bucks. You heard that right.
Yulan Adonay Archaga Carias You might be thinking, why on earth would the USÂ
government hand over $5 million to some regular  person like me? The answer is MS-13, which Carias,Â
aka “Porky,” is said to be one of the leaders. At five feet five and 160 pounds, Mr. CariasÂ
is hardly a guy you’d immediately be afraid of,  but a lesson many of us learn the hard wayÂ
in life is that size doesn’t always matter.  At 41 years old, this Honduran man scaresÂ
the life out of his enemies and associates,  and for a good reason. He’s surrounded by an armyÂ
of young killers, his devout disciples of death. He leads a gang whose doctrine is to be utterly,Â
twistedly ruthless. They don’t just kill their  enemies, they make sickening bloody statementsÂ
that would impress a psychopathic Medieval King.  They torture people for fun, bringing a Game ofÂ
Thrones mentality to modern-day Los Angeles, among  many other cities. Numerous news reports stateÂ
they’ve done that to many of the tens of thousands  of people they’ve murdered. They’re so cruel andÂ
so proud of it that they’re often called sadists. An American attorney charged withÂ
prosecuting these people noted: “Their weapon of choice is a machete.Â
We end up seeing people with injuries  that I've never seen before. You know, limbsÂ
hacked off. And that's what the bodies look  like that we're recovering. So they're brutal.”
As with child armies in some parts of Africa,  MS-13 likes to recruit people when they are youngÂ
and vulnerable to manipulation. They take the lost  souls of society, the kids without parents, theÂ
kids of abject poverty who’ve suffered terrible  traumas. And thanks to the unwinnable war onÂ
drugs and the US’s undiminishing demand, they’re  told that if they stick with the gang, they mightÂ
well be able to earn some decent money. It beats  begging or the $277 they can get on average perÂ
year breaking their backs in the snake-infested  fields. A young member in America can makeÂ
that in an hour if he’s got his poop together. Since there’s been so much poverty in manyÂ
parts of Central America, including in Honduras,  there’s been no shortage of boys and young menÂ
signing up for the gang and heading to the USÂ Â with their first never-to-be-used-in-a-gardenÂ
machete. They’re not knighted with that thing,  but if they were, Carius would be the KingÂ
saying to his new recruit something like,  “Arise! I do hereby dub thee Sir.Â
Killalot, and with this holy machete,  I maketh thee the Heart Extracter ofÂ
our glorious Valley of San Fernando.” There might be ten thousand MS-13 gangÂ
members in the US, many in LA, but closer to  50,000 members all over the world, includingÂ
in Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Colombia,  Korea, France, Australia, Peru, Egypt, Ecuador,Â
and Cuba. Wherever they go, they wreak havoc,  showing how extreme they are willing to be.
Such a spread means getting hold of one of  the leaders won’t be easy. Carius can hideÂ
out pretty much anywhere he wants. It’s  also difficult getting people to speak,Â
considering he can literally send out  death squads to commit small massacres.Â
Then again, is he really the number one? That’s hard to say. MS-13 doesn’t have aÂ
structure like the Italian mafia. It’s far  too thuggish to have principles around conductÂ
and honor where the word of the boss is final.  It’s also way too spread out to have one manÂ
or even a handful of men calling all the shots. Nonetheless, the FBI says CariasÂ
is a boss, the top guy in Honduras,  and one of the main reasons why there’s so manyÂ
drugs and so much violence in the streets of the  US. He’s supposedly behind multi-ton shipmentsÂ
of cocaine that enter the US on a regular basis. The FBI will give you $100,000 for informationÂ
leading to Carius’s capture. The five million  will come from the Department of StateÂ
Bureau of International Narcotics and Law  Enforcement Affairs. If you don’t mind riskingÂ
getting your face flayed, your knees crushed,  and your head decorating the top of a rustyÂ
spike, get in touch with the agencies today. But this massive prize is not targeted atÂ
people like you; it’s been put out so someone  on the inside will spill the beans on the boss.Â
That’s one reason why head honchos of organized  crime tend to exhibit a certain kind of ruthlessÂ
paranoia that Joseph Stalin was famous for. It’s  also a great way for an opposing gang to getÂ
rid of the competition while collecting some  reward money, as has been happening sinceÂ
the war on drugs was first conceived as a  global policy. And as you know, snitches getÂ
stitches, but in the cruel world of MS-13,  it’s more like this BBC news report says:
“Members of an El Salvadorian street gang  stabbed a man 100 times, beheaded him, andÂ
cut out his heart in a park near Washington  DC.” We’re not sure why it happened, but anÂ
expert on the gang said in another article,  “Usually when there's been a murder, it'sÂ
because somebody has crossed them or has  been an informant about their activities.”
The positive news is that from 2016 to 2020,  something like 500 MS-13 members were convicted ofÂ
crimes in the US. 37 of those convictions led to  life sentences at an average cost of $134,400 perÂ
person per year. Just another 50,000 guys to go,  and this should all be over pretty soon…
Sticking with the underworld, watch this  fascinating video, “The Coder Who BecameÂ
A Criminal Mastermind - Paul Le Roux.” Or,  have a look at the epic, “How Insanely CreativeÂ
Prisoners Escaped From Maximum Security Prison.”
Now you're thinking with portals.
