Durango is Talking.
Several contacts are telling me that Ismael Zambada Imperial, “El Mayito Gordo,” left the United States and is now back in Mexico. The version being pushed is that he was living in California under U.S. protection, or what people are calling witness protection, and that he ran.
On Sunday, I was told there was a large fiesta for him in Durango. Heavy hitters were there. By Monday, the story had reached the Cabreras, and one source close to that side described it as “internal chaos.”

The source told me:
“The pigs (Mayiza) are starting to shake. A bombshell is coming, and several are going to start falling.
They already found out that ‘El Mayito Gordo’ escaped in the United States and that he’s already in Durango, where they even welcomed him with a big party… but a lot of people aren’t seeing what’s really coming behind all of that.
He didn’t come back just for a stroll or because he felt like it; the plan he’s carrying is to hand over several people in order to help the old snitch (Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada García) come out better off in the United States. And watch out, because the ones they’re going to take are several people who have been sending fentanyl to the gringos.
The Cabreras and the Aquiles are in the crosshairs. So more than one person should already be nervous, because when the handovers start, nobody is going to be safe.”
That is the Rumor.
I was also told on Monday that Mayito Gordo was spotted in El Salado.
The two things being said are clear.
One, that he is there to turn over Cabrera-linked people, especially names tied to fentanyl going into the United States, to help his father, Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada García, get better treatment or more privileges in the U.S.
Two, that he is there to convince Mayito Flaco to turn himself in.
Either way, this is a bad look for Mayito Gordo.
The Cabreras heard it. The Aquiles heard it. Durango heard it.
Now everyone wants to know the same thing.
Why is he back, who brought him in, and who is about to fall?

He is there to solidify the connection with C-!-@ with people of the faction. He has to address these matters with Ismael in person. Since 4 letters/Guzman are Morena. Primary goal is to infiltrate, gather intelligence, obtain more power, to make it easier for US intervention in the future. Vicentillo has gone to El Salado a few times as well. At the end of the day Guzman bros messed up. Will be difficult to dethrone the new faction with US government support.
The Guzmana started a war which has killed thousands and in order for 2 family member to get a deal which includes becoming a mandatory rat. How did they think this is smart Micah, I like a good comeback story, use to watch Rudy on my DVD player all the time. That being said if we were in Vegas betting on the this war. You would have to be Rich, Retard, or Rudy to put money on ChapizA.
The Zambada family testifying against El Chapo is what kicked this whole thing off. My money is this war lasts over 6 years. Looking at one fight to judge it just misses the bigger picture.
Wow now this is gonna get interesting 🤔
How true is it that la Rana got captured in Rosarito? Any word any info Mica ?
Hey Diego, I heard about the possible arrest of La Rana. There’s usually some truth behind these rumors.
No announcement about his incarceration this morning.
He was probably arrested and bribed his way out.
