OK, now I will begin. First off I want to apologize for criticizing the addition of Ruja Ignatova to the top ten list as this is now the new worst addition since Semion Mogilevich. At least Ignatova added variety as a foreign female fugitive and reflected the new century with the bitcoin aspect.
Now we have a cocaine kingpin like this is the 1980s when not excusing it but the war on drugs has been sort of an unpopular failure and this guy is essentially a poor man's Pablo Escobar. A fentanyl trrafficker made more sense.
The FBI, and if they read this I want to let them know I think they do a great job overall, and my critique is only about how I feel they are handling the top ten list, I feel is treating the top ten list like we're in the year 1986.
Finally, my biggest gripe once again, is the FBI once again not recognizing the tradition that the list isn't always necessarily the worst of the worst but the worst of who can be caught via public tips.
Villegas-Palomino is definitely catchable, but aside from putting pressure on whatever country he's in where he might be hiding in plain sight, in general drug kingpins are caught via military-like intelligence and/or extradition/court battles or negotiations. He will likely be caught in a way that has nothing to do with the list.
There are too few domestic homicide, crimes against children, or even financial fugitives who victimized everyday citizens that someone mowing their lawn could recognize as their next door neighbor not being added over these guys. A domestic homicide fugitive like Jarvis Wright or Justin Smith would have made more sense in my opinion.
