Crazy how the fbi go crazy hunting gangsters and cartel leaders but human traffickers they ignore

Ngl I thought El Chapo was dead. I didn't know he was still alive in prison

4:08 Imagine waking up high asf at 3AM, and that second pic is the first thing you see 🤣

4:05 I love that Batman references that even villains pay their taxes. In an episode where joker gets a estimate of how much he owes and desperately tries to gather all the assets he has to pay it off

Crazy lineup, but it really shows how “most wanted” is less about body count and more about visibility and threat to state power. Some of these guys weren’t the most dangerous in absolute terms, they were the most disruptive, hardest to control, or just too public to ignore
Also wild how different their endings are: some go out in massive operations, others just… get caught slipping. History makes it look cinematic, but most of the time it’s patience, intel, and one mistake

Ending on D.B. Cooper was the right call, still the wildest open case on the list

@rast9406 8 months ago

Henry Every was more wanted than Blackbeard. There was literally a global manhunt for Every

I’m related to Billy the Kid. At least apparently. My great grandmother on one of the sides (I forgot) claimed that we were related. It could’ve been a myth or just a rumor, but it’s still cool!

2:28 the author also forgot the part where he turned himself in and built his own jail and when the authorities tried putting him in a normal prison he just walked out

While the hangmans noose would have been fitting. The "angel" of death suffered a stroke while swimming. Which is a very bad way to go. He suffered pain, panic, anxiety and the realization. That he had no way to save himself.

Correction, Osama was buried at sea due to respect of his religion. His religion stated that he needed to be buried within a day or two of his death. Since his body was on a warship, the only place they could bury him in that time was the sea.

Word of advice, leave a pause after each one to allow the listener to absorb what they have just been told. It's like a hosepipe of information. Great content though.
