Mr. Feuer, your articles on the trial continue to be fascinating, informative and top-level mystery writing. I hope that you'll be writing a book on the trial when it's over - and you will have a chance to expand on the many complexities of El Chapo.

Almost the same way they caught Pablo. What is it the government doesn't understand.... drugs have been around thousands of years there not going away. Legalize and let El Chapo return to his farming roots.

The big question that continues to be unanswered in all the testimony: 'How high up did the payoffs go in the Mexican government?'

The revenge of the nerd!

Ironic. This is a story that climaxes with a clip about El Chapo, on trial, making the biggest mistake of FEDs catching his real VOICE conversation in an exchange with another. Then this paper asks for our "VOICE" to help in the discussion. Sorry, I will only give you some "TEXT."

Well Cristian Rodriguez is toast.

I really hope that Mr. Rodriguez is being well protected by our government. He is incredibly brave.

The significance of moving the servers from Canada to The Netherlands? How is that related to the encryption keys?

@MPinME Hmmm, ..pssibly to avoid (skirt?) Title III wiretapping constraints and agreements w/ our northern neighbor?

The courage shown by these agents and those who agree to assist them amazes me.

Beware IT claiming routine upgrades. Even if you're not a member of a drug cartel.
