Dated Friday, Joaquín “El
Chapo” Guzmán filed a letter with the court, requesting permission to severe
ties with his long time attorney Eduardo Balarezo. It was simple and to the point;
“Dear Judge Cogan”“I am writing to the court to ask you to terminate A. Eduardo Balarezo as one of my attorneys.”Signed with what appears to be the signature of El Chapo.
In the mix, the same
attorneys that brought us “cell-gate” during the trial, goofed when filing the
letter and inadvertently posted a letter from April 14th of this
year addressed to “Who it may concern”.
The letter is an announcement of sorts of El Chapo LLC clothing line to
premier in summer of 2019.
The letter confirms Guzman
is the owner of the clothing line, operated by his common law wife, Emma
Coronel Aispuro.
Guzman’s attorney
realized the error of filing the letter on the government website and asked the
court to retrieve the letter about the clothing line. As of this hour it remains on the Pacer website.
El Chapo’s legal team
has assisted the formation of the clothing line company from the beginning.

Clothing
Line and trademark
The trademark issue has
been a long bumpy road for the family.
Alejandrina Gisselle Guzman Salazar, daughter
of Guzman, registered the name “El
Chapo,” as a trademark with the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property.
Guzman Salazar began in
2010 filing applications for variations on the capo’s name.
Only “El Chapo” was
approved, for four different lines of
products. The family now holds trademarks for El Chapo jewelry, watches,
umbrellas, toys, luggage, Christmas tree decorations, and both leather and
pleather until 2020. The Institute of Industrial Property rejected applications
from other members of Guzman’s family.
Emma recently gave an
interview which was televised, in which she warned Netflix and any other entity
wishing to use the El Chapo name that it is trademarked and they must go
through her.
This gave way to a
social media attack by Guzmán Salazar who posted her trademark certificates and
‘went there’ personally by posting her mother and fathers marriage
certificates, birth certificates and other documents as proof Emma is not a
legal wife and that the mother of Guzmán
Salazar remains the only legal wife of El Chapo.
Which is accurate.
However, since El Chapo
is the actual owner of the LLC, that of course supersedes any claim by a wife
or offspring.
The
costly trial and defense of El Chapo
The defense and trial
of El Chapo is said to be the most expensive in United States history. And Chapo paid very little, one payment as
far as I know, by friends. The issue is “clean
money”. Any funds paid are subject to
scrutiny by the government to assure the
payments are not funds from criminality.
What happens if there
are no payments--- who pays?
Well, if you have a
mirror handy take a look for the answer.
If you are a tax payer, it is me, and you and everyone else that works
and pays taxes.
Son
of Sam
The Son of Sam law,
originated from New York serial killer David Berkowitz, who use the name “Son
of Sam”. After his arrest there was speculation
and rumor that he was writing a book.
The term "Son of
Sam" is derived from the first law of this type, targeted at serial killer
David Berkowitz, who used the name "Son of Sam"
To block any profit by
Berkowitz, the New York State Legislature swiftly passed preemptive legal
statutes, the first legal restriction of its kind in the U.S.
Other states followed
suit to keep criminals from profiting from the publicity of their crimes.
From the beginning there
were critics of the law saying it trampled on first amendment rights and it was
too board.
The federal supreme
court of agreed striking down the law by 8-0 vote in 1991.
New York adopted a new
"Son of Sam" law in 2001.
This law requires that
victims of crimes be notified whenever a person convicted of a crime receives
$10,000 (US) or more from virtually any source. The law then attaches a
springing statute of limitations, giving victims an extended period of time to
sue the perpetrator of the crime in civil court for their crimes.
So far, the current New
York law has survived court scrutiny and other states have followed suit.
Prisoners frequently
engage in work from behind bars, although it is they earn only a chickenfeed for
their labors.
Many of prison labor products
have been apparel-related. Prisoners have made clothes for the military,
McDonald’s uniforms, Victoria’s Secret lingerie, and JC Penney jeans.
El Chapo owes the U.S.
government billions of dollars. So it’s unclear where the proceeds from the
line will be pocketed.
Income
Tax IRS
Emma is a U.S. citizen, and as such her worldwide income
is taxed regardless which country she resides in. She stated on her televised interview she has
many investments and properties and that is how she supports herself. That means she would be outside the law if
she has not filed income tax requirements yearly.
Even if she were to relinquish her citizenship and
become a Mexican citizen, or perhaps she has dual citizenship, by dropping her
U.S. citizenship she will still be required to file and pay taxes as relinquishing
a U.S. citizenship for tax purposes is unlawful.
If she pays taxes in Mexico she will be able to file
a foreign tax credit, but personal experience has demonstrated the deduction is
small and a payment to the U.S. will be required.
Motion for a New Trial
The government filed
its lengthy opposition to a new trial. The
reply to that filing is due on May 29th. Read the opposition filing below. Sentencing
is scheduled for June 25th
Government reply to request for a new trial
I cant wait to dress up from head to toe en El Chapo's fresh gear.
ReplyDeleteeveryone is going to laugh at you including me
DeleteLmao
DeleteThis is another way to launder money the legit way
Delete3:18 Its ok Sicario006 love to entertain . It is quite clear Chapo don't have a clue . It is a mystery to me how Chapo got a reputation for being smart in some circles.
Delete006 gonna look fly in the streets, however Chapo gonna be trading sewer tank tops for some Maruchans in prison!
DeleteNo pump fake on that Chicago Lingo..
Deletechanguito
CDS
That’s actually gonna be one of the most purchased gear.... the sweaty tank top.... and his orange jump suit is also gonna be available......
Delete10:39 y los calzones del Chapo, te los comistes?
DeleteEL Chapo had his turf in order for the longest time, no Pozole or Carne asadas or disappeared, unless they were asking for it.
His reputation was earned by doing his part fast, as part of a vast enterprise that including customers on the US government side as well as Mexican locals and Federales, Governors and Generales that now deny ever having taken one peiso from him, while refusing to let El Chapo be tried in open court where he can speak his truth or his lies like the other side...
Lmao
ReplyDeleteChapo was a real boss helping his people and not messing with the pueblo unlike Mecho that no one respects.
ReplyDeleteYes and he was a real killer too.
DeleteNo fumes foco, Mencho is highly respected.
DeleteEl Chapo turned out to be el chumpo
Deletewho ever stated on this chat that el chapo had former Mossad members training his group is 100% full of shit
Deletethere are about 2 mossad per 40,000 people in Isreal
slightly more than CIA-SAD at 1 per 40,000
El chapo will die in prison. Good run shorty but once the Americans have you its all over. You”ll take your own life in solitary confinement before they kill you. El pablo went out guns blazing. He was also worth $30 billion.
ReplyDeleteThat was a mighty long good run was out for the most of his life set his family n kids up financially. Lived life to the fullest probably had everything he wanted n yet ur still worrying about how he dies at a net worth of pennies lol
Delete4:29 believe it or not, EL Chapo or Pablo Escobar, never paid one single 600 million dollars fine for money laundering from drug proceeds like some British and American, Canadian banks, or the Canadian Lebanese bank, BCCI, etc. That shows who the boss.
DeleteThere are lists of fines paid by banks For Drug Money laundering.
"El Chapo's fresh gear"
ReplyDeleteMan you gotta be buggin out,fresh?Fuckin salty man,salty.
How old are you?Chapo wears clothes that fit his age,loud arse shirts,probly snide loafers and nikes,dont get me wrong,we seen worse from some of these cats
Not me. Emily continues to profit off of notoriety, She does nothing but host elaborate Barbie birthdays during the trial, listening to mistresses screwing El Chapo, why not create a patent. I don't get enough off the irrigation business. You figure it out. In your face! no resentment, just like her father.
ReplyDeleteWait so an American citizen making money in a different country still has to pay the IRS?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Worldwide income is taxed--no matter from where.
Deleteif i’m making money in another country, i wouldn’t come back so they can kiss my ass with those taxes
Deletethat is fine 4:55 better make sure you have another citizenship or you are a man without a country
Delete4:55 forgettaboutitt honey,
Deleteif you didn't know "There Is Nothing Certain But Death And Taxes"
You'll never make money anywhere in the world.
Empires are still born to the bad news every day in America,
ask the new Super Hero "the Clown..."
Shit, I am speechless at his decision to drop Balarezo--his biggest fan.
ReplyDeleteIt will be necessary to harp on Emma's apparent "special" status that allows her not to pay taxes while the rest of us have to. Only the media will be effective because our gov't prefers to keep an illusion of the rule of law, while cutting deals.
ReplyDeleteshe’s not paying taxes?!
DeleteShe does pay taxes you dope. Read it again
DeleteRe read the article, where does it say she is exempt from paying taxes?
DeleteGentlemen, if someone could be believed to be "Under Audit", that is Dona Emma Coronel la de Guzman, at least El Chapo is not a nauseabund puke/face crooked ass matherfacker and he has not lived off government contracts from his country he has refused to serve.
Delete--EL Chapo even helped the US by putting his ass on the line for US rogue drug trafficking profiteering mercenary chicken hawks.
Respect his families.
9:48 you have a clear point in that Sinaloa cartel "helped" out the "US rouge drug trafficking profiteering mercenary chicken hawks" which explains her protection here in the US.
Delete4:42 looks like some big time mafiosos still respect the code, and those that won't for the longest time, are about to fall into the crap they fabricated for their own benefit.
DeleteThe real US Mafia will take its time, but Don Fat Tony Salerno, Paul Castellanos and John Gotti are about to collect some long due debts from Rudi Giuliani and Co. Viva La Cosa Nostra
10:20 "Even gangsters have morals"
DeleteRobert De Niro, On You Tube.
Me too seis.
ReplyDeleteI pre-ordered the shirt that says "Sean Penn hit it first".
8:50 well, Sean has the ass of a 16 year old boy,
Deleteand while you are at it, his face would be looking away from the broke ass mountain; after all el chapo learned well in Puente Grande, "siendo abujero, anque sea de caballero"
--La Kate sure bangs for her buck too, but in person there is not as much "digital help", like in the movies or telenovelas...
I can just imagine Macys having "distressed tank top" for $150
ReplyDeleteOr every clothing shop in a swapmeet or callejones having Barabas knock off (that blue shirt) which some would claim authentic because its El Chapo brand and chapo has one, while it isnt authentic since its a knock off
Both brands would work better as "RIVALS" with each having their own line, after al it is all for a good cause, paying for the defense of El Chapo, I hear the Chinese give Trade Marks to nice people and billions to rescue failing Real Estate buildings on 5th Avenue) and the Russians, the Saudis, the UAE, the Qataris pay hundreds of millions of dollars for charities of dubious ill refuse to stop branding them terrorist murdering regimes like the Venezuelan and the Mexican governments can't even start to fathom, they soo ignorant and insensitive... Mochensen o mueransen...
DeleteCivis I suspect Emma started cooperating long ago . How else could she have avoided all scrutiny she should have been under by now . Common law wife ? How many wives are you allowed at one time ? It happens every day with these cartels . They turn on brothers fathers uncles . The closest people they love the most . They put no one above themselves . If Chapo could have his mother or sons take his place it would have already been done . I have seen even a lottery winner lose his jackpot because the dollar he bought the ticket with was from ill gotten money . Really one dollar . How did she earn her money ? They are giving her a pass for some reason .

ReplyDeleteSo you can take off your clown suit...
ReplyDeletebalarezo was there when every other attorney fled in fear of non payment. as far as I know he worked the case alone for well over a year. chapo is a fool thinking circus master Lichtman could pull off another gotti jr.
ReplyDeleteSomeone may be trying to hijack el Chapo from Balarezo, there seems to be going to be money to split after all. Mysterious letters like this don't get leaked or filtered like that "by accident".
DeleteHe dropped balarezo because he doesn’t specialize in appeals
DeleteWalmart is already selling chapo shirts real talk
ReplyDelete5:50 those motherfackers bought the license to sell plastic Virgins of Guadalupes, then they pirate their own product to pay no taxes to the Mexicans, AND then they stole the nopales without paying anybody one motherfacking cent!
DeleteCHINESE ARE WORSER THAN CHILANGOS.
