"Socalj" for Borderland Beat

Recently, the news outlet Zeta Tijuana reported that the former leader of the Gulf Cartel and co-founder of the Los Zetas had already been released from USP Terra Haute Federal Prison in Indiana more than a month earlier than his scheduled release date of August 30, 2024.
However, Zeta Tijuana was accessing a Web 3 variation of the BOP Inmate Locator Registry, likely an outdated database on an internal or test server. That database showed his Release Date [future tense] as 07/01/2024. But his BOP Inmate Number 62604-079, still maintains his August release date on the official BOP website.

| From Zeta Tijuana's Article |
Based on the Zeta Tijuana screenshot and Borderland Beat's research; they accessed the BOP portal via www3.fed.bop.gov/inmateloc. The correct BOP website for locating prisoner records is www.bop.gov/inmateloc.

Based on our research, it seems that the incorrect database is outdated by 2 years so may have reflected his potential release date at the time. His release date has changed several times in recent years following cooperation deals.
 |
He was initially scheduled for release in 2035, this date was later reduced to 2028 and further to 2025, accounting for his time served in Mexican custody and in the U.S. before his formal sentence.
Searching for federal US prisoner status can often be tricky as Spanish naming conventions and slight alterations to prisoner's names can result in not being found. However, as we saw with the Borderland Beat revelation of "La Barbie's" possible cooperation and US Marshal protection during the Garcia Luna trial; the location, custody status and release dates of federal prisoners are kept up with accurately.
Osiel's listing is one of those odd ones as his first name is registered as "Oziel," while his son was listed under Osiel. Oziel was recorded in older DEA documents so that is likely where the spelling difference stemmed from.

Osiel Cárdenas Guillén, 57 years old, was born in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, on May 18, 1967. The former leader of the Gulf Cartel, was imprisoned since 2010, in the maximum security prison Florence ADMAX, in Colorado, USA, serving a 25-year sentence for the crimes of drug trafficking, money laundering and extortion of federal agents of the United States.
Court records revealed that his legal team successfully arranged for him to be held in less restrictive federal penitentiaries in Atlanta and Florida, affording him more privileges than in ADX Colorado. He was ultimately moved to USP Terra Haute and would be under supervised release for 5 years.
On March 7, 2005, the Mexican government granted Cárdenas Guillén's extradition, but his surrender was not immediate. He was finally extradited on January 19, 2007 to the United States, where he faced 19 charges in a federal court in Houston, Texas.
Then, in July 2009, during his trial, Cárdenas Guillén pleaded guilty to one count of drug trafficking, one of money laundering, and three counts of extortion and attempted murder of U.S. federal agents. In exchange, the former CDG leader had 12 other charges dropped in 2010, and was sentenced to 25 years in prison and fined $50 million.

He looks like a hairless Tasmanian devil.
ReplyDeleteFunny!
DeleteHe looks like a bleached Somoam.
DeleteI think he looks like an evil gnome trader from Skyrim
DeleteHe looks buff to be honest, well fed and mascular although he is a midget
DeleteHe looks like a trompo with legs and eyeballs.
DeleteHe looks like a knee cap with eyes.
DeleteHe looks like a deformed troll.
DeleteHe looks like shit.
DeleteHe looks like sol.
DeleteHe looks like a used tampon.
DeleteHe looks like a rotten mango with legs.
DeleteLook out for the Re-Emergance of the CDG... People forget. CDG was on Top of the game in the Early 2000s... Under Osiel....
ReplyDeleteHe's a snitch and he's old. His time is long gone. look out for him getting smoked by someone looking for a name
DeleteOsiel caused chaos and the collapse of CDG.
DeleteCDG was on the top of the game when Garcia Obrego was top Presidente's Dog,even later in Osiels time Humberto Garcia Abrego was always asked for answers on top issues concerned Cartel de Golfo...what Osiel had on begging of century was not even close to Garcia's Abrego/Guerra član and anyways theory were always leaders behind scenes...have you ever hear anything about Garcia Abrego family,son or anyone?Corridors,shotouts of people in closest circle of Garcia Abrego family.Is their son now leader??? No,no,no Garcia Abrego is top notch president family's man,he pleaded not guilty and continuing to work until today..
DeleteSorry to burst your bubble but they were number 2 at best … Juarez and Tijuana had the upper hand in those years
Delete4:41 Nope. Top dog was this order during the administrations of CSDG and EZPDL: JGA, ACF and BAF. That coincidentally is the order of when each cartel was at the height of its power.
DeleteAmado was on an entire league of his own garcia abrego was chump change
Delete7:36
DeleteGarcia Abrego was worth 15 billion while Amado was at 25 billion, neither was "chump change".
@11:10 Cartel de Tijuana was already a powerhouse by 1995. The AFO was already at the peak of vintage Medellin and Cali. The Tijuana organization had ACF under siege for the last 2 years of his life. Ramon Arellano would personally jet to Cuidad Juarez to get a 20 on Amado in his own turf. The restaurant attempt in D.F. was a very close call for Amado.
DeleteNot even with General Rebollo in his back pocket could Amado decimate the Arellano clan. At the end , the Aretes flew too close to the sun and paid dearly for it.
Bro I knew if he was released CDG fan girls were going to come out screaming out the rat hole they been hiding in
Delete7:36 ACF was considered to be in a league of his own but as time has shown he had many "operators" or lieutenant's that had their own factions.
DeleteCarrillos, Esparragozas, Quinteros, Beltranes, Zambadas, Coroneles, Muñoz Talavera, Flaco Quirarte, El Chaky Hernández etcétera. Those were some of the known members of CDJ, some prominent business people of that region were also rumored to be silent investors of the cartel.
That famed 25 billion dollar fortune some claimed he was worth has proven to be a bogus claim.
4:44 CAF did go at ACF because he protected Zambada. If I remember correctly CAF wanted to charge Zambada millions of dollars for smuggling drugs into the USA through TJ and MIZG wouldn't pay up. With the death of ACF practically all the top "operators" went their own way and left CDJ. VCF disputed the leadership of the cartel with the Muñóz Talavera brothers and eventually took control of CDJ after their deaths.
J Blancornelas was of the opinion CAF was the most powerful cartel of Latin America but not because of the scale of their trafficking.
7:36
DeleteGarcia Abrego had more influence than Amado on both sides of the border.
@7:51 GTFOH
Delete@6:38 CAF was exporting on a massive scale as well, my man. AFO was sourcing up to 30-40% of the cocaine in the states during their height. Coquio Castro ran a very intensive and embedded network for the AFO during the 90s.
DeleteThey had the whole California to the Midwest sewed up.
El “Mayel” had his own routes by air and sea. AFO also had silent partners and angel investors. If there is 2 historic cartels that deserve a spot on Mt. Rushmore of narco trafficking it’s Tijuana and Juarez. The rest after that copied their blueprint.
11:28 all I'll write about JGA and his time as Boss of CDG is this: it's claimed CDG cloned INS buses and loaded them with drugs to transport to Houston. Do the math. It's comical when you think about it. Google it. As someone has previously wrote on here, only Cali product was moved and Cali had a non stop pipeline that kept the supply plentiful. CDG is the oldest "cartel" in México.
DeleteJGA was captured in January 96, ACF reign as the biggest Capo lasted until July 97. Then CAF started to dominate but still took hits like in 98 when their plaza boss "El Chipilon" of Obregon was gunned down in his new Navigator.
What year did AFO have to bury that plane in BCS because the sand damaged the engines? I maybe mistaken but that was their 1st big load delivered by plane. Loads of that size have to be paid for practically on delivery. Add in the cost of the plane and we can see that they had their limitations on product movement and money. "Caso Baturi" November 95.
@3:32 it wasn’t that much of a mother load. It was only 10-15 tons of escamita de pescado from caso baturi. Manuel Galindo “ El Caballo” picked up the tab for that load. One of the financial wizards of the AFO.
DeleteThe other bosses were also making orders. CAF was already a multi-million dollar apparatus.
After Cali got nipped in a bud, the AFO had direct links with Norte del Valle and later FARC. That is when they started flooding the southwest US with cocaine with impunity. Lets not forget that they also had the tunnels. Some were AFO and others were Chapo’s.
That is one evil looking mofo
ReplyDeleteYes no period.
DeleteHe looks like a man that got punked and beat by the Mexican Mafia (la eme)
Delete4:42 attacked him through the back like a coward.
DeleteLeave no period alone. He is obviously with child. Dude ain't had a period in a long time. shame on all of you!
Delete11:12 In sticky situations, your cowardice is known as an advantage. You don't tap somebody on the shoulder and tell them you are going to brutally attack them and see if they are okay with it. The world would be a lot nicer if it was that way however
Delete@207 — alas, no comma!
Delete3:13
DeleteNew rule:
grammar police must use proper grammar while policing no period kid(s) and other malcontents!
3:57 no comma was needed in a short sentence. 😂 LoL
Delete6:46
DeleteNope, 3:13 was right on the mark, comma belongs after 'yes'..
These grammatical "rules" seem to cramp some people's style, they feel it's limiting their right to free expression, but without some order, it's all willy nilly and chaotic, (but also lots of fun!) 😹
@908 — Bingo, bango..
DeleteFined and payed the equivalent of $50 million dollars. Mexican drug kingpins aren't getting any type of deal without paying for the leniency of not receiving a sentence that essentially equals life imprisonment in a federal prison.
ReplyDeleteHe's an evil looking little bastard
ReplyDeleteNo shet Sherlock.
DeleteHe was probably moved to his safe house under house arrest for a couple of weeks, then will be fully released to stay in the U.S. under protection or return to Mexico. Just like Zambada jr.
ReplyDeleteIncorrect Vincents living in witness protection and so will osiel
Delete2:01 Vincentillo was walking around the airport by himself. Guy is living free with millions under a different name.
Delete905 incorrect he's living in witness protection in the USA
Delete5:53 So, the pic at the airport is fake?
Delete1150 that photo is in the US where he lives in witness protection.
Delete5:35
DeleteThe person at 9:05 said he's walking around the airport by himself but the comment at 5:53 said that's incorrect. It's a common misconception that individuals in witness protection have guards 27/7. They don't. Only when they go to court. They only check in once a year with the government. So, technically, 9:05 was correct.
Just like El Mini Leaks!
DeleteNot surprised. Zeta TJ isn't an expert in northeastern cartels. If they had a clue they would have known where to look. Thanks BB team.
ReplyDeleteNortheastern cartels are just street hoodlums with guns … no real cartel there
Delete4:43 mmm mijo no tienes ni la más mínima idea de lo que comentas
Delete@7:16 soy de mero Díaz Ordaz compadre .. hace mucho que por estos rumbos ya no domina un cartel fuerte .. es puro morro ladrón pendejo que se dedican a robar y chingar a la gente
Delete10:27 soy de NL y aquí se mueve mucho $$$
Delete@5:35 pos serán los Fayukeros no mas merca muy poca mueven a comparación de las otras plazas que si saben trabajar
Delete7:39 si no supieran jalar no tuvieran el 100% controlada la ciudad,ni la federación ni los del milenio pudieron con esta gente,ya 20 años y no se ve quien los saque de NL
DeleteTijuana es la mera vena joyita de la frontera entera. Hay dinastia para alrato.
Delete@9:53 Nvo Laredo es una frontera pedorra y muy chica en comparación con Juárez or TJ hasta Mexicali es mucho más grande obvio que va ser más fácil de mantener control .. la diferencia se ve en que en tamaulipas hasta los que andan vendiendo chicles les cobran piso, a la gente normal que cruzan por Laredo les cobran piso, a los que tienen ruta de Coca Cola o sabritas les cobran piso .. por que tanto pinche robo ? Si andan muy pesados moviendo merca pa que perder el tiempo chingando a la gente común .. a pesar de tanto muertito esas mamadas no se ven Tijuana ni en Chihuahua ni en Sinaloa.. no más en tamaulipas, Michoacán y otros estados donde el crimen disque organizado se muere de hambre
Delete5:56 LOL. Sigue durmiendo, todavía estás idiota de la maseta con lo que escribiste, te hace falta dormir.
Delete5:56 am pobre iluso no tienes ni la más mínima idea de lo que comentas y haz de ser un pinche alucin que vive en usa y escucha corridos y se cree lo que escucha en esas pendejadas,todos los carteles extorcionan mijo,todos los carteles roban o tú crees que las camionetas que traen los sicarios y comandantes son de agencia pobre iluso
Delete"Northeastern cartels are just street hoodlums with guns … no real cartel there"
DeleteWell you dont know shit do you..CDN not a cartel ? They only own the best truck plaza in mexico
@ 12:19 , 1:28 como se nota que lo que escribí el compa 5:56 les cala en el culo .. es la pura verdad .. pinches grupos delincuenciales en Tamaulipas dan lástima se nota de lejos la pobreza y lo mediocre que son.. por eso cobran piso .. y como dice el amigo eso no se ve tan seguido en los otros estados que también tiene presencia fuerte de carteles y las pruebas están en como viven esas ratas .. en tamaulipas no ves ranchos de lujo ni mansiones que parecen castillos ni carrazos de super lujo… en Sinaloa y Chihuahua yo si lo he visto con mis ojos nadie me lo contó .. el verdadero poder se hace notar por el modo en que operan, sin secuestro ni extorsión .. ya no se enojen muchachas no mas por que les dicen sus verdades haci nunca llegarán lejos .. y pa que no anden hablado mamadas yo soy del mero Zacatecas … y orgulloso de eso estoy !
Delete5:56 pobre iluso no tienes ni la mínima idea de lo que comentas
Delete5:56x2 sigan durmiendo par de bueyes alucines. O será un solo alucin? Va pa ti chiquimafia cromador de cornetas.
DeleteTranslation reddit fanboys incorrectly posted about Osiel being released. thats why we come to BB because the info in generally properly vetted.
ReplyDeleteThey blew their loads over this, as if the messiah had returned to usher in a golden age of cartel activity.
Delete@212 — meanwhile their aunts, uncles, and cousins all continue to die from tranq
Delete1:34
DeleteBB has also posted incorrect information in the past, they're not infallible, but updated it once another news site corrected it.
9:50 you shouldn't be in this website.
Delete3:36 I don't think you understand written English.
DeleteAll the people at his welcome back party standing there in the dark waiting to surprise him!
ReplyDeleteOff topic, but I'm getting married in the morning!

Trump was almost killed at a rally in PA. Holy shit.
ReplyDeleteLooked staged 7 shots and no one moves gtfo... 7 shots from an expert marksman and the glaze the ear. You never were in the military huh son.
DeleteWas it la chapiza anti-secrete service tier 1++ operators giving them a taste of what's to come if they don't align?
DeleteI'm pissed off the shooter missed his head
DeleteFringe news sites reporting SIR was identified as the dead shooter!
DeleteSIR for president!
DeleteThe Trump administration asked CDS for help and they dispatched an elite team of 25 highly classified and highly trained jotos alucines ondeados.
DeleteI wonder if Osiel will go to war with "El Primito" ? Will he break CJNG alliance ? Will Grupo Escorpion rejoin CDG?
ReplyDelete557 no and no he's a snitch he's wearing his snitch jacket in the USA
DeleteHe's been green lighted.
DeleteHe snitched on the Z, not the Golfos.
DeleteSnitch is a snitch he's not coming back to dethrone CJNG or any cartel for that matter
Delete12:38
DeleteZs were golfos at one point.
Clearly Mexico doesn’t care if he’s a snitch he’ll still be respected and esteemed if he returns to that life. Look at El mayo and all the other “ snitches “.
DeleteOsiels getting dropped if he goes to Mexico
Deletelol and people thinking American prisons are the worse nightmare for cartel drug lords.
ReplyDeleteYour such a dumbass, it's there worst night mare they can't bribe no one but stay in prison.

Free Chapo Guzmán. The best leader of Mexicos underworld. FREE CHAPO GUZMÁN.
ReplyDelete706 we are better off putting him in the electric chair
DeleteIf he was the best he wouldn't be in prison.
DeleteOsiel will unite all of the different parts of the CDG and the Zetas will rejoin them and he will welcome them with open arms. Everything will go back to 2002 and the border will be safe once again. He will tip all of the border officials with fresh $100 bills and a bump of the finest cocaine. The Champagne bottles will pop and the coochie coochie girls will be unleashed upon the joyous sicarios, as sure as the sun rises.
ReplyDeleteIt was in the corrido, and everybody knows that the corrido never lies.
Snitches get stiches
DeleteHe looks like Myorkas 50 mil come on now
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Osiel ? He looks like something out of a willy wonka factory ?
