Sean Penn/El Chapo Interview in Rolling Stone

[Mark Kohut]

Penn, the actor who became, etc.
Only Robert Stone could do justice to the WHOLE of this story, including Penn.

Writer Don Winslow, whose latest is a fictionalized fact-based Mexican drug cartel and America story, whom I have not read but friends have, wrote, upon El Chapo's capture:
A deal was made. The arrest was theater. El Chapo will reside in a low security hotel. ( until he escapes again. ) he only implied the last line.
