Since the capturing of the world's most wanted man, there are many questions surrounding his latest arrest and how he allowed the beautiful Mexican actress Kate del Castillo into his inner circle.
The Rolling Stone piece in which famed actor Sean Penn documents his daring journey to Mexico to meet up with El Chapo Guzmán, easily raises eye brows and smells like a trap for the wanted man.
His recapture though, seems to have only come about due to the double Oscar-winning actor, but if it weren't for del Castillo, the pair's meeting likely would have never happened.
'He was interested in seeing the story of his life told on film, but would entrust its telling only to Kate,' Penn wrote in the magazine about El Chapo's desire to have a movie made about him.

'Mr. Chapo, wouldn't it be cool that you started trafficking with love?' she wrote in the tweet.
'With cures for diseases, with food for the homeless children, with alcohol for the retirement homes that don't let the elderly spend the rest of the days doing whatever the f*** they want.
'Imagine trafficking with corrupt politicians instead of women and children who end up as slaves.
'Why don't you burn all those whorehouses where women are worth less than a pack of cigarettes. Without offer, there's no demand.
'Come on, Don! You would be the hero of heroes. Let's traffic with love. You know how to. Life is a business and the only thing that changes is the merchandise. Don't you agree?'
Soon after her initial tweet, the popular soap opera actress who famously played a drug lordess on television, was contacted by one of El Chapo's lawyers.
