kingpin

I stand up ready to give this former cyber-crime kingpin a professional hello.

And Mexico’s cartels, by all accounts, have only gotten stronger in recent years, despite the take-down of numerous kingpins.

And yet the White House has cast Venezuela’s socialist president, Nicolás Maduro, as an all-powerful kingpin “poisoning” American streets with crime and drugs.

The US sanctions list is usually reserved for drug kingpins, terror operatives and dictators involved in widespread human rights abuses.

As always following the arrest of an alleged kingpin, the question becomes how far their removal will affect the global drug trade.
