El Mayo, the nearly mythical co-founder of the Sinloa Cartel and one of the most powerful drug lords in the world, has plead guilty. He plead guilty to charges of drug trafficking, money laundering, and criminal association. This is a massive development in the Mexican drug wars, which have raged on for over a decade.

Joaquin Guzman, also known as El Chapo, was seen as the undisputed leader of the Sinaloa Cartel. El Mayo was the coequal founder of the group, and many believed that he was the strategic brain behind the empire. El Mayo had avoided capture for decades, and many thought that he was shrouded in mystery. That mystery has been maintained to a certain extent, but it is clear that his lawyers managed to negotiate a plea deal with the Mexican and US governments.

There is very little public information on El Mayo. Most of his life remains shrouded in secrecy. He is believed to have been born in the northern Mexican state of Sinaloa, and rumors have him as everything from a cattle herder to a farmer to having been a bricklayer. His real name is Joaquin Guzman Lopez, and he is believed to have started trafficking marijuana to the US in the late 1980s. He partnered with El Chapo, and the two rapidly expanded their product line and empire.

It is alleged that El Mayo was the masterminded behind the incredible success of the Sinaloa Cartel. The group was able to expand and control territory in a way that few other cartels had managed. The Sinaloa Cartel's influence spread well beyond Mexico, and El Mayo's empire spanned North and South America as well as Europe. The US government has estimated that the cartel is responsible for transporting over a billion dollars worth of drugs into the US over the years.

El Mayo's legal team has not made a public statement since the plea deal. It is believed that El Mayo will be a witness in the prosecution of another high-ranking drug lord, Marco De Los Rios, who is alleged to be the leader of the Juarez Cartel.

The future of the Sinaloa Cartel is uncertain. El Chapo is in a US supermax prison, and many believed that El Mayo would step into his shoes. Now it seems that the cartel will be rudderless. Time will tell if the group disintegrates or if someone new steps in to fill the power vacuum.
