Memoirs of a Kingpin

After hanging out at the website of Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo (the man usually credited with being the original Mexican kingpin) an anonymous author established a correspondence with his son, and later got his hands on a handwritten memoir written by the capo. Félix has suggestions for the Mexican authorities can attack today's capos. He also denies any blood relationship to Tijuana's Arellano Félix family. A few other highlights:

Vicente Fox, for whom, he tells us, his whole family voted with great hope, disappointed him as president, although he also defends his role in the escape from Puente Grande by Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, whom he avoids mentioning by name.

Later:

On the cover [of a magazine called Alarde Policaco in 1989, right after Félix's arrest] you can see a wrong-minded optimism: "Drug trafficking is now totally exterminated after the capture of the cocaine czar, Miguel Angel Félix Gallardo, who now finds himself behind bars and hanging out with other capos".

Didn't quite work out that way.
