Vicente Zambada Niebla, better known as ‘El Vicentillo’, in the book ‘The Betrayer’, recounted the payment method that his father used to pay his partners for drug trafficking, stating that he gave them a choice of whether they wanted to receive their salary in cash or merchandise.

According to journalist Anabel Hernández, Ismael ‘El Mayo’ Zambada would pay Manuel Torres Félix, ‘El Ondeado’, with 50 kilograms of cocaine and he would be in charge of selling them to his clients. With that money, he would keep a portion for himself and the other part would go towards paying his hitmen.

“When my father paid the salaries directly to the hitmen of ‘M1’, he did not pay ‘M1’ in money, but instead gave him a portion of the cocaine shipments, and ‘M1’ would sell it to clients. Usually, my father would give ‘M1’ about 50 kilos for each shipment that he moved. My father used this same system to pay other people, including myself,” recounts ‘El Vicentillo’ in his diary published in the book ‘The Traitor’.”

That system was used by the majority of its operators, who simply decided to have him sell them under his name and give them the money in cash, for his part ‘El Vicentillo’ said he preferred to work in that way.

Vicente Zambada claims to have witnessed on multiple occasions the transfer of drugs from his father to one of his most important shooters, who had his own clients and preferred merchandise over money.

To those who were paid in this way, my father gave them a choice: whether they wanted physically kilograms of cocaine to sell themselves, or if they wanted my father to sell in their name and deliver the profits to them. Many people, including myself, simply decided to choose the money from the sale of the ‘M1’ kilos. They decided to receive the kilos and sell them to their own clients. I was directly involved in these transfers of cocaine for ‘M1’ on many occasions. I remember, on two occasions, ordering ‘Monito’ to deliver about 30 kilograms of cocaine to ‘M1’ on behalf of my father. And on three other occasions, I ordered ‘Monito’ to deliver 50 kilograms to ‘M1’. This is written in Anabel Hernandez’s book ‘The Traitor’.

The journalist and writer Anabel Hernández stated in her book that Zambada García paid her with 200 kilograms of drugs to Tirso Martínez Sánchez, who did not work directly for his criminal organization, but rather was one of his service providers. However, their relationship ended after he was given a shipment with low-quality merchandise.
