In This Episode Live from the main stage at Arizent's Digital Banking 2025, this high-energy episode of Breaking Banks brings the regulatory heat. Host Jason Henrichs is joined by Alex Johnson (Fintech Takes) and Dara Tarkowski (Actuate Law) for unfiltered, rapid-fire takes on the most urgent—and divisive—issues shaping digital finance regulation today. In a fintech twist on the classic ‘90s game FMK, the trio tackles which regulatory bodies to "love, leave, or reform"—from the CFPB and OCC to the NCUA and beyond. No topic is off-limits as they debate the shifting landscape around Section 1033, Open Banking implementation, UDAP enforcement, and the growing tensions between innovation and compliance. Plus: what do the STABLE Act, the GENIUS Act, and Stablecoin policy have in common? They all point to a regulatory future that's as complex as it is critical to get right. This episode is not for the faint of heart, but essential listening for anyone working at the intersection of fintech, policy, and consumer protection.

Send us a textSam Lewis brings a wealth of experience to the starting line of the Broken Arrow 46K, having represented Team USA three times internationally and competed in the 23K version of this iconic mountain race twice before. In this compelling conversation, she shares the meticulous preparation that has her feeling "in the best shape of my life" heading into one of the season's most competitive events.Training from her temporary base in Boulder, Colorado has given Lewis the mountain-specific preparation needed for Broken Arrow's demanding terrain. Working with long-time coach Travis Fleck, she's compiled her highest-ever training volume while maintaining the physical health that's become the hallmark of their eight-year partnership. "He's always thinking about what I'm doing not just today, but five years from now," Lewis explains, highlighting the sustainable approach that's kept her performing at an elite level.Lewis reveals her tactical approach to the challenging two-loop course, describing herself as a hunter who patiently waits to strike on the second loop. "I like to hunt down my prey," she says with understated confidence, drawing on lessons learned from aggressive European race starts that left her frustrated. This balanced strategy reflects both physical preparation and philosophical grounding—Lewis holds a PhD in philosophy of sport and embraces the ancient Greek concept of "arete" (pursuing personal excellence) rather than fixating on placements.The conversation delves into equipment choices, including On's new Cloud Ultra Pro trail shoe that Lewis describes as "game-changing," nutrition strategies for mountain ultras, and the profound meaning she finds in representing her country. "Being on Team USA is one of the greatest honors of my life," she reflects, while maintaining perspective about the exceptional depth of American talent.Most compelling are Lewis's insights on mental resilience, drawn from races like the 2023 Verbier Marathon where she battled severe stomach issues yet finished. "It's not if it's going to happen in these ultra races, it's when," she notes about inevitable low points. This hard-earned wisdom, combined with her physical preparation and measured approach, makes Lewis a formidable competitor at Broken Arrow and beyond as she looks toward OCC at UTMB later this summer.Follow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com! 

Send us a textThe mountain running world turns its attention to Palisades Tahoe this week for what promises to be an epic showdown at the Broken Arrow 46K. This isn't just any race – it's a Team USA selection event that has attracted virtually every elite mountain runner in the country, creating what might be the most competitive field ever assembled on American soil.The race itself presents a formidable challenge: approximately 28 miles with a punishing 9,000 feet of vertical gain over two loops. Course record holder David Sinclair's time of roughly four hours could be under threat this year, with perfect weather conditions and extraordinary talent at the starting line. Unlike previous years where scorching heat played a factor, this year's forecast calls for cooler temperatures in the 60s, potentially setting the stage for blistering performances.What makes this race particularly fascinating is the strategic complexity surrounding Team USA selection. Several favorites, including Eli and Tabor Hemming, have indicated they may decline team spots even if they qualify, preferring to focus on European races like OCC and CCC. This creates a dynamic where some athletes are racing purely for personal achievement while others see this as their golden opportunity to represent their country internationally. With limited spots available and such depth of talent, expect fierce competition down to the final descent.The women's field features multiple former champions including Helen Mino Faulkner and Jennifer Lichter, with Grayson Murphy's potential participation looming large over the competition. On the men's side, Eli Hemming enters as the clear favorite after dominant performances this season, with Garrett Corcoran, David Norris, Brian Whitfield, and John Aziz among those battling for podium positions. For mountain running fans, Saturday's race represents a rare opportunity to witness America's best athletes pushing their limits on one of the sport's most challenging and prestigious courses.Follow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com! 

Send us a textA broken bone can shatter more than just your foot – it can fracture your confidence. When professional Adidas Terrex athlete Dani Marino suffered a cuboid fracture (the rare "nutcracker fracture") during OCC last year, the physical damage was just the beginning. The psychological barrier of running downhill again loomed larger than any mountain course.This conversation captures a pivotal moment in Marino's comeback journey. Fresh off a confidence-building performance at the GoPro Games, where navigating through crowds of runners on technical terrain proved she could trust her body again, Dani opens up about the mental obstacles that often outweigh physical ones. "Coming home I'm like I think I'm healed, like I can run downhill now," she reflects with palpable relief.What stands out most is the evolution of athletic support systems in trail running. Marino describes her approach as a table where she sits at the center, with equal input from specialists: coach Tom Evans, nutritionist Kyla Chanel, sports psychologist Kai, her sister as strength coach, plus massage therapists and chiropractors. This integrated method represents how trail running has professionalized beyond solo training into comprehensive athletic development.The relationship between athlete and sponsor shines as especially progressive. When injury struck, Adidas Terrex didn't disappear – they increased support. "Getting a phone call from my team manager, 'Hey, just how's it going today?' goes such a long way," Marino explains. "It makes you want to show up more for the brand when you know they care about you." This approach respects athletes as humans, not just result-generating machines.Looking ahead to Broken Arrow 46K and CCC later this season, Marino reveals her tactical approach as "a hunter" who excels at closing strong. Her race philosophy and patient return from injury offer valuable lessons for athletes at any level. Whether you're battling back from injury or seeking to understand elite performance, this candid conversation reveals the mental, physical, and professional elements that shape a champion's journey.Follow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com!

We are releasing today on our podcast show a repurposed webinar which we produced on May 13, 2025 entitled “What is happening at the federal agencies (other than the CFPB) that is relevant to the consumer financial services industry.” During this podcast, we will inform you about recent developments at those other agencies, including the FTC, OCC, FDIC, FRB and DOJ (collectively, the “Agencies”) and the White House (through the issuance of Executive Orders). Some of the issues we consider are: •        What are the strategic priorities of the Agencies, including cryptocurrency (OCC, FRB and DOJ); reducing regulatory burden, promoting financial inclusion, embracing bank-fintech partnerships and expanding responsible bank activities involving digital assets (OCC); adopt a more open-minded approach to innovation and technology adoption (FDIC); public inquiry into anti-competitive regulations (FTC and DOJ); and regulation of AI technology, boosting protections for children and teens online and strengthening enforcement against companies that sell, transfer, or disclose Americans' geolocation information and other sensitive data to foreign adversaries, more emphasis on antitrust enforcement and less on consumer protection (FTC). •        What is the status of proposed or final regulations of the Agencies? (e.g., FTC CARS Rule, Click-to-Cancel Rule, Junk Fees Rule, and Rule banning Noncompetes; FDIC advertisement and brokered-deposit rules, OCC rule on bank mergers; and the Community Reinvestment Act final rule)? •        What is the status of enforcement investigations and litigation of the Agencies? •        What impact will staff cuts have on supervisory examinations? •        What is the impact of President Trump's executive order requiring the Agencies to obtain approval from the White House of all proposed and final regulations? •        Will the Supreme Court approve of President Donald Trump's firing of the Democratic members of the FTC and NCUA and other federal agencies (who have subsequently sued Trump to challenge the firings) and, if so, what are its implications? •        What is the significance of the FDIC and OCC agreeing to eliminate “reputation risk” as a basis for evaluating risks to banks? •        Will the OCC adopt a regulation or other guidance, or will Congress enact legislation pertaining to debanking/fair access? •        Will the OCC and/or FDIC issue any guidance or regulations pertaining to federal preemption of state law in light of the Supreme Court's opinion last term in Cantero and the impending Courts of Appeal decisions in Cantero, Kivett and Conti? •        What is the significance of the FDIC withdrawing its amicus brief in support of the Colorado Attorney General in the 10th Circuit in the lawsuit brought by industry against him challenging a Colorado statute which purported to opt out of Section 521 of DIDMCA? •        Will there continue to be fair lending and disparate impact enforcement at any of the Agencies? Alan Kaplinsky, former chair and now senior counsel of Ballard Spahr's Consumer Financial Services Group, moderated the presentations of the following other members of the Consumer Financial Services Group:  Scott Coleman, Ronald Vaske and Kristen Larson.

In this episode of the Trail Network Podcast, host Rachel Drake sits down with professional trail runner, ICU nurse, and new mom of twins, Taylor Nowlin. Known for her top-10 finishes at Western States, CCC, and OCC, Taylor opens up about the highs and lows of pregnancy, motherhood, and her remarkable return to racing just eight months postpartum.Taylor shares the surprise of learning she was having twins while her husband was off-grid on a climbing trip, the complications that led to a high-risk pregnancy and early bed rest, and the physical and emotional challenges of recovering from a C-section. She also reflects on how her sponsors supported her through this season of change, and how strength training, a shift in mindset, and support from her community helped guide her back to competitive racing.Now training with coach Paul Lind and focusing on shorter, faster trail events like the Broken Arrow 23K, Taylor is embracing a new chapter of motherhood and racing—balancing lower mileage with higher intention. She and Rachel also share plenty of laughs about postpartum life, family travel chaos, and the role of their dogs as unofficial cleanup crew during baby mealtimes.Whether you're an athlete, a parent, or somewhere in between, this episode is an honest and inspiring look at resilience, identity, and the joy of returning to sport after life-changing transitions.This episode is edited and produced by the Sandyboy Productions Podcast Network.A special thank you to Osprey for supporting this episode.

Here's the heart of this episode in a nutshell:This “Looking Forward Our Way” episode is all about helping Ohioans make sense of their utility bills and understand their rights as utility customers. We sit down with Kathryn Metz from the Ohio Consumers' Counsel (OCC)—basically the state's watchdog and advocate for regular folks when it comes to utilities like electricity, gas, water, and even landline phones.Why should anyone care? Because utilities are something we all have to deal with, and lately, the costs and choices just keep getting more complicated (and expensive). The OCC isn't just there for emergencies—they're fighting every day so you don't get overcharged, educating you about your options (like how to shop for energy and avoid sneaky contracts), and making sure vulnerable Ohioans (seniors, people with tight budgets) can get help paying bills when they're struggling. They even break down confusing bills and warn about energy scams that pop up every time prices go up.The episode also dishes on hot topics like the fallout from the House Bill 6 scandal (where Ohio residents ended up footing the bill for a shady energy bailout), the crazy impact of new data centers using tons of electricity, and issues with submetered utilities that can make your bills skyrocket without many protections.Bottom line: If you pay for utilities in Ohio, this is stuff you need to know so you can protect your wallet, avoid scams, and make smart choices about your energy. The OCC is there to help, but step one is staying informed—and that's exactly what this episode is all about. If you like this episode, please let us know. We appreciate the feed back, and your support of offset costs of producing the podcast!Here are three key takeaways for every Ohioan:OCC Is Your Advocate: The OCC was established in 1976 to serve as an independent voice for Ohio's residential utility consumers, helping save billions by holding utility companies accountable and ensuring fair pricing.Know Your Options—And Your Bill: Ohioans can shop for energy suppliers, but staying with your utility's standard offer is often the most cost-effective choice. Always read your bill closely—delivery and supply charges are different, and misinformation or scams can lead to costly mistakes.Beware of Scammers & Protect Your Info: Never share your utility account number freely—it should be as protected as your Social Security number. Beware of aggressive door-to-door marketers and unintended contract changes. You can request to be put on a utility "Do Not Contact" list for extra protection.Key Moments00:00 Journey from Humanitarian Aid to Teaching03:57 Ohio Utility Consumer Advocacy Agency07:53 Ohio Summer Cooling Assistance Program11:52 AEP Rate Increase Alternatives15:19 "Compare Ohio Energy Suppliers Easily"19:04 Traveling Speakers Share Critical Info21:29 Ohio's Costly Coal Plant Subsidies24:57 Ohio Data Centers Settlement Decision27:30 Beware of Energy Market Scams30:03 Protect Your Utility Account Number33:24 Utility Scams and Submetering Issues36:37 Future Uncertainty for LIHEAP Funding39:07 Ohio Energy Aggregation Rate ChangesWe would love to hear from you.Give us your feedback, or suggest a topic, by leaving us a voice message.Email us at hello@lookingforwardourway.com.Find us on

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore a subject more fully. Are you looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode of Compliance into the Weeds, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly take a deep dive into the settlement of charges by the OCC with two former top audit executives at Wells Fargo for their oversight failures during the bank's fake accounts scandal. The Wells Fargo banking scandal is a cautionary tale of unchecked corporate misconduct and the critical role of auditor accountability. This scandal, which erupted due to Wells Fargo's creation of fake accounts driven by unrealistic sales targets, exposed the bank's dysfunctional corporate culture and raised questions about the efficacy of internal audits and the broader implications of regulatory actions. They discuss the scandal as emblematic of the broader issues stemming from repealing the Glass-Steagall Act, which blurs the lines between investment and consumer banking, fostering an environment where misconduct could thrive. Kelly points to the enormity of banks' post-Glass-Steagall repeal as a breeding ground for potential misconduct and highlights the negligence of Wells Fargo's leadership in failing to curb unethical practices. Both Fox and Kelly underscore the necessity for a comprehensive reevaluation of compliance and audit roles to prevent future scandals of this magnitude.

Our podcast show being released today is part 2 of a repurposed interactive webinar that we presented on March 24 featuring two of the leading journalists who cover the CFPB - Jon Hill from Law360 and Evan Weinberger from Bloomberg. Our show begins with Tom Burke, a Ballard Spahr consumer financial services litigator, describing in general terms the status of the 38 CFPB enforcement lawsuits that were pending when Rohit Chopra was terminated. The cases fall into four categories: (a) those which have already been voluntarily dismissed with prejudice by the CFPB; (b) those which the CFPB has notified the courts that it intends to continue to prosecute; (c) those in which the CFPB has sought a stay for a period of time in order for it to evaluate whether or not to continue to prosecute them where the stay has been granted by the courts; and (d) those in which the CFPB's motion for a stay has been denied by the courts or not yet acted upon. Alan Kaplinsky then gave a short report describing a number of bills introduced this term related to the CFPB. Alan remarked that the only legislative effort which might bear fruit for the Republicans is to attempt to add to the budget reconciliation bill a provision subjecting the CFPB to funding through Congressional appropriations. Such an effort would need to be approved by the Senate Parliamentarian. Finally, Alan expressed surprise that the Republicans, in seeking to shut down the CFPB, have not relied on the argument that the CFPB has been unlawfully funded by the Federal Reserve Board since September 2022 because there has been no “combined earnings of the Federal Reserve Banks” beginning then through the present. (Dodd-Frank stipulates that the CFPB may be funded only out of such “combined earnings”). For more information about that funding issue, listen to Alan's recent interview of Professor Hal Scott of Harvard Law School who has written prolifically about it. On Monday of this week, Professor Scott published his third op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, in which he concluded: “Since the bureau is operating illegally, the president can halt its work immediately by executive order. The order should declare that all work at the CFPB will stop, that all rules enacted since funding became illegal in September 2022 are void, and that no new rules will be enforced.” Joseph Schuster then briefly described what has been happening at other federal agencies with respect to consumer financial services matters. Joseph and Alan reported on the fact that President Trump recently fired without cause the two Democratic members of the Federal Trade Commission leaving only two Republican members on the Commission. He took that action despite an old Supreme Court case holding that the language in the FTC Act stating that the President may remove an FTC member only for cause does not run afoul of the separation of powers clause in the Constitution.  The two Democratic commissioners have sued the Administration for violating the FTC Act provision, stating that the President may only remove an FTC commissioner for cause. The President had previously fired Democratic members at the Merit Systems Selection Board and National Labor Relations Board. President Trump based his firings on the belief that the Supreme Court will overrule the old Supreme Court case on the basis that the “termination for cause” language in the relevant statutes is unconstitutional. After the recording of this webinar, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals stayed, by a 2-1 vote, a District Court order holding that Trump's firing of the Democratic members of the NLRB and Merit Systems Selection Board was unlawful. That order was subsequently overturned by the court of appeals acting en banc. Subsequently, Chief Justice Roberts stayed that order. In light of these developments, it seems unlikely that the two FTC commissioners will be reinstated, if at all, until the Supreme Court decides the case. Also, after the recording of this webinar, the Senate confirmed a third Republican to be an FTC commissioner. For those of you who want a deeper dive into post-election developments at federal agencies other than the CFPB, please register for our webinar titled “What Is Happening at the Federal Agencies (Other Than the CFPB) That is Relevant to the Consumer Financial Services Industry?” which will occur on May 13, 2025. Joseph then discussed developments at the FDIC where the FDIC withdrew the very controversial brokered deposits proposal, the 2023 corporate governance proposal, the Change-in-Bank- Control Act proposal and the incentive-based compensation proposal. He also reported that the FDIC rescinded its 2024 Statement of Policy on Bank Merger Transactions and delayed the compliance date for certain provisions in the sign and advertising rule.  Joseph then discussed developments at the OCC where it (and the FDIC) announced that it would no longer use “reputation risk” as a basis for evaluating the safety and soundness of state-chartered banks that it supervises. The OCC, also, conditionally approved a charter for a Fintech business model to be a national bank and withdrew statements relating to crypto currency risk. Finally, Joseph discussed how state AGs and departments of banking have significantly ramped up their enforcement activities in response to what is happening at the CFPB. The podcast ended with each participant expressing his view on what the CFPB will look like when the dust settles. The broad consensus is that the CFPB will continue to operate with a greatly reduced staff and will only perform duties that are statutorily required. It is anticipated that there will be very little rulemaking except for rules that the CFPB is required to issue - namely, the small business data collection rule under 1071 of Dodd-Frank and the open banking rule under 1033 of Dodd-Frank. The panel also felt that the number of enforcement lawsuits and investigations will measurably decline with the focus being on companies engaged in blatant fraud or violations of the Military Lending Act. This podcast show was hosted by Alan Kaplinsky, the former practice group leader for 25 years and now senior counsel of the Consumer Financial Services Group.

In short, part 1 featured Jon Hill from Law360 and Evan Weinberger from Bloomberg, who chronicle the initiatives of CFPB Acting Directors Scott Bessent and Russell Vought and DOGE to dismantle the CFPB and the status of the two lawsuits brought to enjoin those initiatives. Ballard Spahr partners John Culhane and Rich Andreano give a status report on the effort of Acting Director Vought to nullify most of the final and proposed rules and other written guidance issued by Rohit Chopra. The podcast concludes with John and Rich describing the fact that supervision and examinations of banks and non-banks is non-existent.

The Sinaloa Cartel is a drug trafficking organization based in the Mexican state of Sinaloa. It was founded in the late 1980s and is named after its home state. The cartel is one of the largest and most powerful drug trafficking organizations in the world, with operations in the United States, Europe, Asia, and South America.The Sinaloa Cartel is led by Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada and was previously led by Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, who was extradited to the United States in 2017 and sentenced to life in prison in 2019.The cartel is involved in the production, transportation, and distribution of drugs, including marijuana,fentanyl, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine. It is known for its use of violence and intimidation to maintain its power and control over drug trafficking routes and territories.Despite numerous efforts by law enforcement to dismantle the cartel, it continues to operate and remains a significant force in the global drug trade. Its operations have been linked to corruption, money laundering, and violence, and have had a significant impact on the social and economic fabric of the regions in which it operates.In this episode we take a look at how things have become increasingly worse since El Chapo was arrested and how his sons, The Los Chapitos have elevated their industrial sized labs to a size and in a number not seen before which in turn has helped drive the pandemic of overdose deaths in America.

The Hells Angels in Australia have been actively collaborating with the Kinahan cartel to smuggle significant quantities of cocaine into the country. The Kinahan cartel, a notorious organized crime group based in Ireland with extensive international operations, has been instrumental in supplying the cocaine that is distributed in Australia through the Hells Angels' network.This alliance has been highlighted by several recent developments. For instance, the Australian authorities have identified key figures within both organizations working together to ensure the successful trafficking of narcotics. The Hells Angels, known for their organized crime activities, provide the local distribution network necessary for the cartel's operation.The partnership between these groups has also extended to other criminal activities, including money laundering and weapon trafficking, as seen in various international operations that have involved these organizations. The crackdown on these networks has resulted in several high-profile arrests and seizures, emphasizing the global reach and the complex nature of these criminal enterprises​. In this episode, we head down under to see what's up!(commercial at 10:10)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Australian biker chief working with Kinahan cartel to move cocaine around the world, top podcast claims - Irish Mirror Online

This week, John and Elliot discuss the OCC's announcement that national banks will no longer be examined for reputational risk, an FTC report on the growth of payment fraud, a report from the University of Trier in Germany showing that money laundering directly causes an increase in housing prices, the decision to stop funding a national database tracking domestic terrorism, hate crimes and school shootings, and other items impacting the financial crime prevention community.

Our podcast show today features Professor Dan Awrey of Cornell Law School, and Matt Lambert, Deputy General Counsel of the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (“CSBS”) who discuss the pros and cons of Congress enacting a statute which would require federal charter for non-banks engaged in the payments business. At present, such non-banks are generally required to be licensed by state departments of banking under money transmitter laws. On November 14 of last year, on our podcast show, Professor Awrey discussed his working paper “Money and Federalism” in which he advocates for the enactment of Federal legislation creating a Federal charter for non-banks engaged in the payments business, like PayPal and Venmo. The article may be accessed online at SSRN and will likely be published in a law review at some time in the future. The abstract of Professor Awrey's article states, in relevant part: The dual banking system is now under stress. The source of the stress is a new breed of technology-driven financial institutions licensed and regulated almost entirely at the state level that provide money and payments outside the perimeter of both conventional bank regulation and the financial safety net. This article examines the rise of these new monetary institutions, the state-level regulatory frameworks that govern them and the nature of the threats they may one day pose to monetary stability. It also examines the legal and policy cases for federal supremacy over the regulation of these new institutions and advances two potential models, one based on complete federal preemption, the other more tailored to reflect the narrow yet critical objective of promoting public confidence and trust in our monetary system. The CSBS on Nov. 12 of last year published an article on its website entitled “The Reality of Money Transmission: Secure, Convenient, and Trusted under State Supervision” in which it purported to dispel several myths about state money transmitter and money services statutes. CSBS stated: Recent statements about money transmission in the United States have perpetuated myths about consumer protections and the safety and soundness of this vibrant, secure, and trusted part of our country's payments ecosystem. It is time that we dispel some of these myths by explaining the realities of the state-developed, nationwide framework for regulation, licensing, and supervision of money transmission. While targeted reforms made through cooperation between the states and federal government may be appropriate, a complete overhaul of an established, secure, convenient, and stable money transmission ecosystem is an unwarranted federal overreach. Because of these sharp differences of opinion between Professor Awrey and CSBS, we decided to invite Professor Awrey and Matt Lambert to be our guests on this show and to discuss the following issues: The historical background to and rationale for state money transmitter laws How the National Multistate Licensing System (“NMLS”) and state supervision work today The emergence of new business models: e.g. PayPal, Stripe, Crypto A brief history of recent federal proposals: from the OCC fintech charter to the current stablecoin bills How state legislatures and regulators have responded to the emergence of new business models (e.g. model act amendments and adoption, new chartering frameworks) Where the federal government can meaningfully improve on these state level responses (standardization, bankruptcy protection, payment network access, systemic risk regulation, international coordination) Where state regulators have a comparative advantage (novel chartering, supervision) Where we think the nonbank payment industry and regulation are heading in 2025 and beyond Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel and former practice group leader of the Consumer Financial Services Group, hosts the podcast show.

The Sinaloa Cartel is one of the largest and most powerful drug trafficking organizations in the world. It is based in the Mexican state of Sinaloa and has a global reach, with operations in several countries, including the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. The cartel is known for its ruthless tactics, including violence, bribery, and corruption.The Sinaloa Cartel was founded in the late 1980s by a group of drug traffickers, led by Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, who is now serving a life sentence in the United States. Since then, the cartel has grown into a powerful criminal organization with a complex hierarchy and sophisticated operations.The cartel's primary source of income is the trafficking of illegal drugs, primarily cocaine, marijuana, and methamphetamine.The Sinaloa Cartel is responsible for a significant portion of the drugs that enter the United States from Mexico, and it has been estimated that the cartel's annual revenues exceed $3 billion.The cartel operates through a network of cells and affiliates, each with its own area of operations and responsibilities. The top leadership of the cartel is believed to be composed of a small group of individuals, including Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, who is considered the current leader of the cartel.The Sinaloa Cartel is known for its brutal violence, and it has been responsible for numerous assassinations, bombings, and other violent acts.The cartel has also been accused of using bribery and corruption to maintain its power and influence, and it has been reported that the cartel has bribed law enforcement officials and politicians in Mexico and other countries.Despite efforts by law enforcement to dismantle the cartel, it remains a significant force in the global drug trade. The Sinaloa Cartel continues to adapt and evolve, using new technology and tactics to evade law enforcement and expand its operations.In this episode we continue the discussion about how the United States government infiltrated the Sinaloa cartel.(commercial at 6:50)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Secret recordings, million-dollar rewards and family betrayal: How the US hunted down El Chapo's sons | International | EL PAÍS English (elpais.com)

The cooperation between the United States and Mexico in the war on drugs has been a complex and evolving partnership with both successes and challenges. Here is a summary of key points in this cooperation:Historical Context: The U.S. and Mexico have a long history of cooperation in addressing drug-related issues, dating back to the 1970s. The proximity of Mexico to the United States, a major consumer market for illegal drugs, has made this collaboration essential.Merida Initiative: In 2008, the United States launched the Merida Initiative, a multi-year aid program to support Mexico in its efforts to combat drug trafficking and organized crime. This initiative provided equipment, training, and technical assistance to Mexican law enforcement and security forces.Joint Operations: The two countries have engaged in various joint law enforcement operations to target drug cartels and dismantle drug trafficking networks. These operations have led to the capture of several high-profile drug traffickers.Information Sharing: Both nations have improved information sharing and intelligence cooperation to better understand and combat drug trafficking organizations. This includes sharing data on drug shipments, money laundering, and cartel activities.Legal Extradition: The U.S. and Mexico have an extradition treaty in place, allowing the transfer of criminals wanted in one country to face justice in the other. This has been used to extradite major drug lords and cartel leaders.Challenges and Tensions: Despite cooperation, there have been tensions in the relationship. Issues such as corruption within Mexican law enforcement, human rights abuses, and disputes over drug policy have strained cooperation at times.Shift in Focus: In recent years, there has been a shift in strategy, with a greater emphasis on addressing the root causes of drug trafficking and violence, such as poverty, lack of economic opportunities, and social inequality. Both countries have invested in development programs in Mexico's drug-producing regions.Legalization and Drug Policy: Differences in drug policies between the two nations have been a source of tension. While some U.S. states have legalized recreational and medical marijuana, Mexico has also been moving toward more liberal drug policies, including decriminalization.Ongoing Efforts: Cooperation between the U.S. and Mexico in the war on drugs remains ongoing. Both countries continue to work together on a range of issues, including interdiction efforts, intelligence sharing, and promoting regional security.According to a new DHS paper that was released, the United States is looking to expand their footprint in Mexico even more as the battle against fentanyl ramps up.(commercial at 6:57)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:The United States seeks to ‘aggressively' expand its anti-fentanyl operations in Mexico | U.S. | EL PAÍS English (elpais.com)
