His life took a sharp turn when he got busted for selling drugs in California and was deported back to Mexico. That’s when he went full-on cartel mode—no more grocery aisles for this guy. He joined the ranks of the Mileno Cartel, which later mutated into the terrifying Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
Today, the U.S. State Department has a $10 million bounty on his head. That’s not just “wanted for questioning” money—that’s “we’d really, really like to have a chat with you” money. And yet, he remains on the loose, rumored to be hiding in the mountains of Jalisco or even living large in a mansion disguised as a wedding venue. Honestly, he’s the Houdini of narco-land.

Where Is He Now? (Spoiler: Nobody Knows)
Here’s where the article becomes a game of “Guess Who?” with machine guns. Officially, El Mencho is believed to be hiding in the rugged, forested areas of western Jalisco. The terrain is so brutal that even the Mexican marines break a sweat just trying to get there.
Some reports claim he’s close to the Pacific coast, zipping around in high-tech speedboats. Others say he’s tucked away in a bunker that would make Batman jealous. The man is basically a ghost in a cowboy hat.
