Officials have been trying to capture “El Chapo,” a.k.a “Shorty,” since he escaped a maximum security prison in Mexico in a laundry cart in 2001. As the leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel, he is believed to be responsible for hundreds of slayings. He overtook Osama bin Laden as Public Enemy No. 1 when the al Qaeda leader was killed in 2011. Reports first emerged about the drug lord’s death in February, but Guatemalan officials soon said the rumors were misleading. He is widely believed to be alive and well. Guzman was on the Forbes’ billionaire list in 2012 — for the fourth year in a row — along with drug lords Pablo Escobar and the Ochoa brothers. The magazine reported he controlled an estimated 25 percent of the illegal drug trade and was worth about $1 billion. This year, however, Forbes says Guzman is “no longer someone we are confident enough to call a billionaire.”
