Do a video on 10 real life cases of cannibalism
The Cali cartel paid watch mojo to keep them off this list 😂😂
Get it cause they didn’t like being in the news it draws attention
they’re not operating anymore (since the 90’s) they couldn’t hve paid off?
@@josewilliamruiz2880 it’s a joke you doorknob
Jorge solcado watching us... 😂😂😂

Feel like El Mayo should be a lil higher on the list considering he’s running one of the most dangerous/powerful cartels out there
Yeah hopefully Chapos sons don't fuck everything up by splintering away.
Also he’s never been arrested
Thats the thing is the most notorious are the ones that catch a prison sentence or a bullet eventually. El Mayo lays pretty low, its crazy how he's never been arrested man must be very good at what he does.
El Mayo es un espectro..there’s no recent picture of him because he layered CDS so well. Mastermind behind the business 🔥
El M-Z, the only one Drug Lord who has never been in prison
El Mayo should be higher
No creo, la lista es de "los más notorios" y ese cabrón siempre se ha sabido que le gusta tener perfil bajo, por algo es el único que sigue libre/vivo
@@alfredolizarraga6248 still he should be higher. Not getting caught alone should make him higher.
I agree but I’m biased because he was one of my favorite characters from s3 of narcos
He’s trying to stay low key😁
True he’s number one in the game no one compares to him
I swear Amado still alive he outsmarted everybody
Same
Yeah course..
I agree
X2
He quickly realised he was out of time
I saw Amado once at a Chihuahua Charlies in Juarez once in 1995. He was a group of older men. My brother-in-law, then my sister's boyfriend, pointed him out to me. But living on the border with Juarez and hanging out in Juarez during the 90's I saw some crazy shit. It was less violent back then.
What did you saw?
@@serbonkers4130 like a kidnapping in broad daylight on a busy intersection. Teenagers walking back across the border after a night of partying on the strip drunk off their ass. Lol! I saw a rival gang throw a guy out of a second floor balcony of a night club on the strip. And the dude landed and got up and walked away limping.
@@serbonkers4130 I think he means he seen.
No mention of Gilberto Rodriguez Orejuela, the Cartel de Cali's boss
He wasn't notorious. He was a businessman remember
@@d4351 Escobar is first and second is the cali cartel. The cali cartel was one of the biggest they killed so many of pablo’s men but vice versa. The cali cartel was defo one of the biggest even if they was business men. That business shit was an act so they don’t get caught
Don Gilberto no era un patrón pero un líder y hay rumores qué hay que pedir permiso para publicar su nombre ademas los gringos los detestaban por no someterse a la ley .
Cali would be ecstatic to not be on this list. This was precisely the kind of attention they hated. The four godfathers Pacho, Santa Cruz, Miguel, and Gilberto ran the Cartel like a corporate business, and yes, they did a lot of bad things and they weren’t angels by any means, but they were nowhere as notorious as Medellin or any of the Mexican cartels.
They were very intelligent. Cold, calculating, and calm. Sadly, in the tragic life of the drug business, eventually, even the ones who plan best... fall.
The fact that there are guys like this that we don’t even know about in South America scares the absolute shit out of me
Right!? I clicked on this video outta curiosity not even knowing what it meant
The recent most powerfull Narco in Colombia has been arrested recently
@@gravito1573 good, let’s hope they lock him up and throw away the key
@@BigFella117 hahaha, Bad New s Miguel Orejuela and Gilberto Orejuela the two former Cali Cartel boss, will be released soon, like in 2030 if I'm not mistaking
@@gravito1573 hehe, we’ll it’s still a long way off
Honorable mention, your local pharmacist
Hahaha nice one
Damn Rebecca, you really know how to roll your pronunciations
Pablo Escobar, Joaquin El Chapo Guzman Literally everyone knows who these two are!
Rafael Caro Quintero
Yup 😂💯
Who are they 😂
@@relaxmusic7189 you need the Internet 🤣
Amado Carrillo Fuentes was much larger than Chapo by a very wide margin. The difference is Chapo was careless enough to get his name out there whereas Carillo murdered any reporter that dared mention his name. Being well known is not a desired trait for an organized crime leader.
When is Hollywood doing a Chappo movie and will Sean Penn play himself?
He wouldn't even need to method act, since he already lived in the role
He can’t Kate del Castillo has Chapo’s life rights. She isn’t gonna cast Sean Penn. He wanted in with his life rights but after what he pulled off highly doubt anyone wants him in the project
Frank Matthews should be on the list. Many FBI agents say he ran the eastern seaboard in the late 60s and and early 70s while Barnes and Lucas only sold in Harlem. When he was indicted, he went on the run with like 50 million and has never been caught. He should at least be top 10. Not glorifying any of this stuff, but federal agents place him near the top
Facts
I literally was just thinking about him and had to check the comments. Nice to know some ppl know that story and I’m not just sitting here all crazy down the rabbit hole or something 🤣
Rebecca is my favorite announcer. Love the tone of her voice.
BTW; She killed it by pronouncing those names!
Yeah yeah shut up you just down bad
The ' Gentlemen Of Cali were definitely the smartest cartel
I've heard mentions of the Medellin cartel I don't really know much it's only because I was watching an interview with J Balvin that I heard the mention and I liked that he was trying to show that the place itself is more than just that and that it has some good qualities
Great video and I enjoyed it and have a blessed night
Frank Mathews should definitely be on this list, he was making $1 million a week and lived on the same street as Paul Castenallo and escaped to South America 👨🏿🎨
This whole list should be just Latinos
@@JohnDoe-mg7ky Frank Mathews was black 👨🏿 like me 👨🏿🎨
Felix gallardo Made 15 Billion a year
Number 11, had the Caribbean shook. Dudus used to play football with the severed head of a victim, he murdered.
Very Informative, Watchmojo
I am excited to see Griselda Blanco finally recognized
WatchMojo has given her quite the attention. She's featured on the evil women lists
Who has seen narcos and narcos mexico
Would've loved to see Queenpins Sandra Avila Beltran and Mery Valencia on the list. Both were incredibly smart and intuitive to reach the levels they did. Also, how is Carlos Lehder not on the list??
Carlos Lehder wasn't a boss. Like Guero Palma
As far as I'm concerned Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo should be no 1 on this list. He literally completely reorganised the drug trade in Mexico and made it organised. I don't think people comprehend how difficult it must have been to first get all those warring plazas on boards, not to mention the police force and the politicians, and then take control and keep them in check and working together. Chapo was his chauffeur for crying out loud. After he went down war broke out again and all hell let loose as normal. I would say that he is to the South American cartels, what Lucky Luciano was to the American mafia. Ruthless when it was necessary but mainly interested in making money and making the machine work together.
Too many narcos and Pablo Escobar always gonna be number 1. But if you people want to know more about his life, you need to watch El patrón del mal.
Great show, much better than narcos but still riddled with inaccuracies
You forgot to add to this list Hugo Chavez, Diosdado Cabello and Nicolas Maduro
Does mojo know wth a “Narco” is??
How can Freeway Rick Ross be ahead of Amado Carillo Fuentes
El mayo should be HIGHERRR than Ramon
The most powerful people are the ones no one knows about
You forgot the CNJG leader and the first leader of Los Zetas
Why would you put the Arellano Felix family at #20 then put Ramon Arellano at #17
Amado carrillo should've been on second place. He was the 2nd richest drug lord in the world
Bro fax I don’t understand why chapo is always talked about so highly. I think it’s simply because he’s escaped before and cuz he was the top trafficker of this era. But his net worth doesn’t even come close to Pablo or carillo fuentes.
Now you should do a list for drug cartels not from Mexico, central or south america. Not to sound racist, but I currently can't think of any atm.
Mexican drug cartel are the most ruthless and real capos in the game.
Gotta love Rebecca. She over pronounces things in other languages and yet can't pronounce some of the easier English words. I remember kids like that in school.
El mencho?
Lol “call me bumpy, big bumpy Johnson “
I see Narcos season 3 definitely toned down the story compared to this list of those featured in the show.
American's and cartels love is far better than twilight saga 😂
Anyone else thinking of Breaking Bad? Heinsenberg, Fring, the Salamancas?
What are you asking? Are people thinking of famous fictional drug lords while they watch a video about drug lords? I mean...sure?
Investing is a stepping stone to success, investing is what create wealth.
The best thing to do in this period is to invest in silver and crypto
I wanted to trade but got confused with the fluctuations of price
@@annarichard5235 I don't trade, I invest with a professional assigned by a crypto company that trades for us and returns profits on weekly basis for me and you can invest your capital and get weekly Returns
@@annarichard5235 The professional is Mr Jefferson Clark
@@justinwilliams8143 Yeah that's right I think the best way is to invest with a professional, at least it saves the trauma of too much losses
Seriously what's the music for this ? I want it
Where is the PABLO
“Doug Shultz” 🤣
What about the real life Don that beat the system and got away ??? Frank Matthews
He got away. Nobody wants to tell THAT kind of story. Makes the cops look stupid/useless/incompetent. Oh, and it’ll make the Mob look like 🐱 bc he literally told them if they k*led any of his workers he’d let off throughout Little Italy to make his point. Any story where the cops AND the Mob are shook behind a Black man is NOT getting told or put on a list like this.
Surely not a list Jamaicans should be proud to be on. :( P.S. Only in Jamaica a man by the name of "Coke" is involved in drugs and a man by the name of "Bolt" is the fastest man ever. lol
Bumpy Johnson was drugdealer not a trafficker… big BIG difference. Same for nicky barns, frank lucas and so on. You can call them kingpins bc they controlled the drugmarket in their areas but they never trafficked
Toto rina and frank Mathew’s top 5
The disrespect on El Mayo
Who should definitley be on this list
1. Pablo escobar
2. El chapo
3. Lord of the skies
4. Griselda blanco
5. Frank lucas
6. The guy from asia that grew heroin
7. Nicky barnes
8. Big meech/bmf
9. Alpo/rich porter
10. Frank matthews
11. Ricky ross
THE LORD OF THE CEUS TRAFFICKED MORE COCAINE THAN ANYONE OF THEM, FORTUNE ESTIMATED AT 25 BILLION
4 TONNES OF COCA PER WEEK, A FLEET OF 30 BOINGS 727 WAS THE MOST EFFICIENT SINCE EVER INTELLIGENT AND DISCRETE HE DID SCHOOL WITH GALHARDO IN GUADALAJARA
What about sal magluta and willie falcon they ruled Miami or Demetrius and Terry Flenory they had coke spread everywhere from Atlanta to Detroit and even Southern California
El Mayo in Narcos was ... too slick to be real.
Or so I thought.
Turns out he is still out there and running things?
That´s pretty crazy
Rafa did not kill Camarena
Damn spoiler alert for narcos Mexico 😂😂 even tho it's no suprise that that's what happens to 95% of Narcos
Pablo & Chapo for me. After watching Narcos & Narcis Mexico,I'm truly hooked what a series,but a bit disappointed with season 3 Mexico.
I also disappointed on season 3!
@@rumeshegodawaththa8537 I'm in the second season of the series, but I don't see El Chapo, really Chapo, which we know. Does this change or is Narcos Mexico not talking about El Chapo at all?
Really good list but you forgot about z3 z40 z42. El Guero. La Barbie. JJ
The fact that there are even more than that scares me a lot. And these are their "best".
I follow Rick Ross on IG (yes,the one on this list) 😅😅
No mention of François Spirito???!!!
AFO should be higher, the only cartel to actually put a war against the Sinaloa cartel besides CJNG
Number 3," Not to be confused with the rapper Rick Ross."
The disrespect 🤣.
AMADO SHOULD BE FIRST SINCE HE GOT AWAY BY FAKING HIS DEATH
No Klaas bruinsma or Ridouan Taghi?
Arturo got murked with a minigun que no?
Amado carillo fuentes should be number 1, and also he got away. The true chess player.
No Cali or North Valley Cartel? You gotta be kidding me!
Gallardo should be n3 after pablo and cahpo
She said Doug Schultz, lmao!! Its Dutch Schultz aka Arthur Fleggenhimer
They really done skipped el mencho
El mayos was always number one el chalk was just his distraction escape goat ask your self why has el chalk been in prison so many times and el Mayo never stepped into a cell
At 2:33 they show Jesus Malverde and not Escobar for those who wonder
I`m surprised that no one from the Cali cartel made it to this list.
Who else already knew that Pablo Escobar would take the 1st spot on the list and El Chapo the 2nd? 🤔
I read the title to this video wrong.. lmao! “NARCOS”
Where is Miguel Rodriguez Orejuela?
This list isnt bad but def missing some big ones and has some that shouldnt be on here. Im pretty sure Frank Lucas wasnt even top dog in Harlem when he was pushing drugs.
Next List: Top 20 Notorious Philippine Real Life Narcos
You forgot to mention the current President of Honduras Juan Orlando Hernandez and his brother who is already in jail Tony Hernandez
How do you think? I observe something s
events of life. And there are some shops with different names most of all localized in big shopping centers, they seem to trade clothes sometimes trade likely other things .The main problem with these stores is that their products are very expensive and they literally have very little or no customers for days, months and year. It is definitely too little to keep the business and the lack of customers is visible there for years. So what do they live on?Logically speaking, this is a cover for an illegal business money laundering etc.
How come none of the Cali godfathers are present on the list? Neither are the russian mafia.. what about Solntsevskaya Bratva?
Where's Nino Brown at?!?!?
What about Boston George?
Boston George worked for Pablo Escabor
Why were the Black Mafia Family not in this list?
Hi
yes hi what do you want
Adler Berriman Seal?
No big meech?
Kiki is the reason why narcos no larger attack DEA and other agents.
List of Patron
Hm. A lot of notorious Narcos and drug lords are named Felix….Interesting
The ochoa's were the bosses of escobar and the father and 2 sons were free, 1 died later. Only fabio is in jail. They got out. The real OG
Alpo better be on this list lol
"Doug" Schulz lol
No frank Mathews lol he was way bigger than bumpy and frank Lucas and never got caught
5:10
Too young to give up on. Chad keep pushing him.
Why there is no one named cali cartel man?
You have Frank Lucas and Nicky Barnes on this list. Where is Frank Matthew’s he was way bigger then these guys. This list needs some adjustments
Ummm excuse me, where are Nicolas Maduro and Diosdado Cabello? Especially the latter since he is the leader of the “Cartel de Los Soles”
Any American drug dealers shouldn’t be on a lift of “top narcos” because all their drug they got them either from Mexico or Colombia. So it doesn’t make sense
Where my man H7
Going through the comments, I know this list isn’t accurate especially if El Mencho isn’t on the list. 🤦🏽♂️
