"Hollywood" Helped Chapo's Twin Betrayers Become Major Traffickers

Borderland Beat

Windy City Kid contributed this interesting tie-in that relates to my post "The Twins Who Betrayed Chapo.  Interesting backstory....Paz, Chivis

Many people have stated that the twins would not have been able to move 500+ keys a month if it wasn't for "Hollywood", he was one of their main customers for 250+ keys at a time. He was their primary distributor for the black street gangs on the southside as well as other midwestern states and east coast.
 
The twins had a number of customers in chicago and Milwaukee would be fronted 20, 50 a week. But few customers like Kiley that would be fronted 100 keys - 1/4 ton at a time.

Feds: International cocaine ring tied to Henry County .  Windy City Kid
 
The Flores Twins Largest Customer

His home in Atlanta above, and below where he was living at the time of his murder
He bought two houses next door to each other — including a six-bedroom, six-bath, brick home worth $769,000, according to Henry County property records. He also bought a three-bedroom home, worth about $93,000, and had it bricked to look just like the larger house.
 
He put up a large fence around the two homes, complete with a gate and call box at the entrance —the only one on the block .
But as fancy cars — Porsches, Maseratis, Ferraris, Mercedes — came and went in the middle of the night, neighbors began to think differently of Murray.
“Beautiful cars, cars you dream about, would come in. There would be tons of cars and then nothing, no activity,” a mother of two who lives in the neighborhood said Friday.

This week, neighbors learned what is behind the gate.

Federal prosecutors say Kiley Murray, 37, is part of an international cocaine trafficking ring tied to $1.8 billion in drug sales. He was arrested Wednesday when police raided his Scarborough Road home in Henry County.
 
“He was a customer of a Chicago distribution crew-The Infamous Twins- that was getting cocaine wholesale from the Mexican cartels,” said Randall Sanborn, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois.

Murray is charged with conspiring with others to distribute five kilos of cocaine and one kilo heroin, according to a federal indictment.

Murray is now on his way to Chicago, where he will appear before a federal judge for a detention hearing, Sanborn said Friday.

“I knew something wasn’t right because he seemed to have more money than God and they never worked,” the mother of two said.

Neighbors asked their names not be used for fear of their family’s safety.

On Friday, parents in Murray’s neighborhood spent the afternoon chatting at school bus stops about the raid and wondering what will happen to the gated mansion that has since been seized by federal prosecutors.

It’s unclear if Murray’s family is still living in the Ellenwood house. There was no answer at the home Friday afternoon.

The neighbor said she came home from taking her children to school Wednesday and saw about 20 police cars at Murray’s house. A white box truck was backed into the driveway while officers loaded furniture, computers and filing cabinets into the truck.

After filing the truck, a U-Haul pulled up and took more of Murray’s belongings, two neighbors said.

Henry County Police said they also seized three vehicles, including a BMW and a GMC Denali.

“They were there for about five hours,” said another neighbor who lives a few houses down. “I thought it was strange they were going through his garbage. But it was trash day — literally.”

Neighbors said neither Murray, nor his wife or three children — including a teenage son, a teenage daughter and a little boy — used the pool, gated basketball court or large yard at the home.

“They never came outside. People came in to do their lawn, their pool, everything. I don’t even know if they checked their own mail,” the mother of two said. “The kids weren’t even allowed outside to play.”

Murray was one of 43 alleged drug leaders indicted this week by the U.S. Attorney as part of a federal crackdown on narcotic sales between the U.S. and Mexico. The indictments include 10 Mexican drug cartel leaders, said Laura Sweeney, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Justice.

Investigators are working to seize $8.65 million that Murray and his conspirators made from drug sales, according to the federal indictment. They have already seized the Ellenwood home and six properties in Chicago.

Murray, who also goes by the names “Cali,” “Kal” or “Hollywood,” worked with several other drug traffickers in Chicago, according to the indictment. All of the other arrests were made in Chicago and New York, Sweeney said.

In addition to the arrests, police are working to seize a total of $1.8 billion in cash proceeds from the drug sales, said Patrick J. Fitzgerald, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois.

The Chicago ring, which Murray was affiliated with, handled 1,500-2,000 kilos of cocaine a month, Fitzgerald said. They used submarines, private planes, cargo ships and tractor trailers to transport the cocaine, prosecutors said.

18 Months Later....

Kiley Murray of the 11300 block of South Calumet Avenue was pronounced dead at the scene of a drive by shooting, according to a spokesman for the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Preliminary reports said Murray was walking to his house shortly after 9 p.m. when a white vehicle pulled up and two male suspects jumped out, police said. One of the suspects shot the man.
.
As of Wednesday, nobody was in custody in connection with the shooting. Chicago police are investigating the case.

Murray was out on a $250,000 secured bond at the time of his death. He was arrested in Henry County in August 2009 and later transferred to Chicago, where he was indicted on charges of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 5 kilos or more of cocaine and 1 kilo or more of heroin, said Randall Samborn, a spokesman with the U.S. Attorney's Office in Chicago.
 A month later, Murray was released on the secured bond and was under electronic monitoring and home detention from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.

He was later allowed to remain free until 10 p.m., and the electronic monitoring was discontinued in September of this year, Samborn said. Murray also was allowed to travel between Chicago and Atlanta. He had a status hearing scheduled for next Tuesday, Samborn said.

"We don't believe there was a trial date set," said Samborn, who declined to discuss Murray's death.

  1. Imagine if all these seizing miney and properties from cartels and those who launder their money took place in mexico! and all that money could be used for new infrastructure. schools. crime and drug addiction prevention programs. but for that almost the entire mexican upper class would have to be destroyed. for they are the ones who launder narco money. the big shot lawyers who defend narco leaders. the big time mexican empresarios who launder drug money trough their empresas. The millionare politicos who protect and are themselves cartel members. and the failed judicial system. dont even get me started there!. but sadly this cannot be done for they are the ones who rule mexico.

    2. 1:10 you are conveniently forgetting that big as it is,the take the Mexican Jack's get to keep is a pile of beans,compared to what all the partners put in foreign banks and invest in foreign countries including the USA,the cayman islands,HSBC,Sweden
      etc,coupled with straight honest money they steal form the public trough...
      All that money they never see it again,and those that take it,use it to investi-buy in the banana republics they got it from in the first place,further eroding their economic well being...

  6. Thanks for the effort of putting the story together but its very confusing. First, you dont introduce the main character at the beginning of the story until half way down the story, then he gets arrested and a few sentences later he is gunned down? And what happened to the "chapo's twin" part? You mentioned flores brothers once and dont explain much about them and what roll they played in the whole story. Again, thanks for your effort but proof read before you post!

  9. It is odd the differences between forum reader and mainboard. not one person on forum questioned anything of this post....curious

    see the intro from WK? that is how this fits, people questioned the network being that big and making that money. this is a backstory, filling in info and explaining how they generated that size volume. hence the title

    had he lived he could have most likely cut a deal that would have lessened the sweet deal the twins is said to have received.

  12. Snoopy: Have you ever moved on that level? Especially when you come from absolute poverty/nothing, when you all of a sudden find yourself pulling in hundreds of thousands a week, it's hard not to want to throw your money around. It's just a much of a rush to some as the game itself...pulling up to the strip club in a Ferrari, getting treated VIP by every girl in the joint while you blow $10-15k in $1 bills and having everyone in the place just staring and watching the show.

    Please note I am the complete opposite of this and I am happy only having to talk to 2-3 people and have no other friends. My wife is enough company for me. I don't feel the need to flash anything. But I HAVE known many of my friends who DID feel the need to do so and when I would go to the titty bars with them for their birthdays, I would get that rush from making it rain all night in the club; but at the end of the day even though it may be fun, that shit only lasts so long when you on front street like that.

    Just like this guy, both of my friends I used to go to those clubs with are both in prison now. One for being part of a 10lb heroin seizure out of Chicago and for being part of a ring in South Bend, IN and Indianapolis, IN. The other for being pulled over with a kilo of coke and $73,000 in cash in Indianapolis, IN after returning from Oakland, CA the day before.

    It's ironic because in the game the flashy ones do it for the attention, but all that attention is what makes the police want to look into them more.

    2. He was probably killed by some gangsters that thought he would rat them out for pushing his coke. I doubt CDS ordered this hit, once the Flores bros were arrested CDS cut their losses. Murdering some black dude in CHi isnt going to improve their bussiness.

  13. John: I didn't come from poverty nor have I ever moved anything outside of selling some of my weed to my friends. I agree with what you say, I just dont understand why they self destruct.

    A Mexican kid that was a dishwasher at my wife's work got busted with something like 72 kilos of coke and like $100,000 at his house. He worked full time as a dishwasher and she said that he was quiet and kept to himself. She couldnt understand why he worked for minimum wage. I told her that he probably didn't have a choice in the matter. He was probably ordered to have a job by his boss to stay low key and under the radar, otherwise he would probably be kidnapped and smuggled to Mexico to answer to the boss. She did mention that he always seemed to have nice gold chains and stuff.

    A friend of a friend has cousins in california that grow weed outside, tens of thousands of plants at a time. One year, he asked them to front him 100 lbs. He sold it within a month. The next year, they came by with 400 lbs, dropped it off, and told him he better have the money when they came back in six months. Now every year they come by and drop off 400 or 500 lbs, whether he wants it or not. They say "see you in six months, dont fuck it up". He said his friend is so paranoid that he buries the cash in his yard for 3 or 4 months in case the house burns down or he gets raided. I told him that he probably has no say in the matter, a boss probably found out that he could move product and ordered his cousins to dump it on him, or else. He said, they wouldnt hurt him over it, they are his cousins. I told him that his cousins probably have no choice in the matter. That they might be killed or forced to come up with the money out of their own pockets if he blows it.

    Still another guy my friend knows moved a lot of mexican brick weed. This was back in the 90s. I remember him bringing lbs to my friends house when I was there. They were compressed into balls and shrink wrapped. He would just carry them in his hands like heads of lettuce. The guy was a friendly guy with a nice family, but obviously did not want to see faces when the money was changing hands. My friend said the guy had a ranch in mexico and stuff, and that all he did all day long was sling lbs, morning noon and night all day long. He said the guy moved 50 or 100 lbs a day. He said the guy was rich. I asked him, why does he openly take so many risks when he obviously made tons of money at $900 a lb, my friend didnt understand why either. The dude eventually got busted with tens of keys of coke and a half ton of weed at his house. Obviously the guy had no choice but to move the product or answer for it. He was obviously afraid of someone to take that much risk.

    I guess you have to be at the very top to actually sling money around like that. Otherwise you have to answer to someone who will kill you if you don't produce. What a fucked up trap to end up in. Refuse and you die. Move product and eventually end up rotting in prison. I feel sorry for people who end up trapped like that. I tell people I know who sell weed and stuff, dont work with Mexican dealers. Once you are hooked in there are only three ways out. Death, prison or the witness protection program.
