'Chino Antrax' pleads guilty in San Diego

'Chino Antrax' pleads guilty

After 17 months in custody, Jose Archeiga Gamboa, 'El Chino Antrax', immortalized by his Instagram account, pled guilty in San Diego's federal courthouse.  In front of Judge Dana Sabraw, who has handled all of the 'Operation Narco Polo' defendants, including Serafin Zambada Ortiz, he softly answered 'Si Senor', when answering questions.  

Gamboa pled guilty to a drug conspiracy charge, admitting to coordinating the shipment of ton quantities of cocaine and marijuana into the United States.  He also admitted to overseeing many cartel responsibilities since at least 2005.  He admitted to both directly and indirectly participating in acts of violence to further the organization, and promote their business.  

It is unknown whether he has entered into a cooperation agreement with the prosecutors and US Attorneys office, he agreed to forfeit 1 million in drug profits, and is set to be sentenced in October. Serafin Zambada Ortiz was set to be sentenced Friday, but is scheduled for August 2015.  A review of Serafin Zambada's docket on Pacer reveals numerous sealed motions, before his eventual plea.  


It remains to be seen whether he will be sentenced at 10 years, the minimum, or closer to 15-20.  He was designated a kingpin by the OFAC in January 2014, shortly after his arrest in the Netherlands, after debarking a plane from Mexico City, into Amsterdam, shortly after Christmas.  His kingpin status hinged on being a leader of Los Antrax.  Last year a women whom he had a child with, Yuriana Torres was kidnapped from a gym in Culiacan, leaving only a single gym shoe behind.  She was found strangled, shot, and tortured a day later, on the street.  

The articles have little to no new information on the case, other then prosecutors linked Chino Antrax to over 50 drug seizures internationally, and have thousands of pages of documents, witness statements, wiretap evidence, linking him to his crimes.  They will not have to reveal much of this information, due to the guilty plea.  He is represented by Michael Mcdonell, a La Habra, Orange County based attorney.  Mcdonnell also represented James Lawerence Snowden, part of the original 'Narco Polo' investigation, centering on a 5 kilo cocaine, and 40 pound marijuana shipment seized in North Carolina, in October 2011.  The drugs were later linked to a San Diego distribution network, and it's leader, and further down the line it went.  Snowden received 188 months. 

'Operaration Narco Polo' was a sprawling indictment against Sinaloa, eventually resulting in the arrests of Chapo Guzman, Serafin Zambada Ortiz, Ismael Zambada
Imperial, 'Mayito Gordo', 'Changuito Antrax', and dozens more of Antrax members and associates.  'Aquiles' and 'La Rana' are indicted, and considered fugitives from justice, as are Mayito Flaco, and Ivan Archivaldo.

When Fernando Sanchez Arellano, El Inge, was arrested last summer, he admitted to investigators that he believed El Chino Antrax was responsible for ordering the killing of his uncle, Francisco Rafael Arellano Felix, gunned down in front of his children in Los Cabos, October 2013.  Chino Antrax instagram had photos of him on a yacht in Cabo, and later photos surfaced with the two posing together amid Tecate models, hours before his death.





Chino Antrax is said to be in solitary confinement for safety at the San Diego MCC. His trips around the world are displayed in sleek, foreboding photos from his Instagram account, Louboutin shoes and Yves St Laurent t shirts, with an ominous skull ring on his hand.  His picture represent a narco fantasy, whether a three story yacht in the South of France, or a single, striking pose in front of iconic locales in Dubai, the pyramids of Egypt, or the glittering lights casino lights of Vegas.  The pictures are filled with 'too good to last' shots of parties in Culiacan, many of those posing, or softly bearing the peace sign are in custody, dead, or on the run.

  1. I was wondering on the Sanchez Arellano paragraph where it reads, the 2 were posing together. Was is Francisco Raphael or Fernando Sanchez posing with Chino? I thought Arellanos didnt get along with Anthrax cuz of Sinaloa connection?

  2. At least he was extradited to the US so they'll actually put him away!

    Even 15-20 years is too short though in my opinion. He'll still be young enough to get right back into the business when he gets out. It's too bad Mexico doesn't have the organizational will/capacity to gather evidence on things like murders committed by guys who are rich enough to bribe them.

  4. @3:47 PM....I could swear I saw a picture of them together, but I know it isn't true....but what I read, and I believe is that they were introduced and met that night, or close before. The same Tecate team of girls is in several pics with Pancho Arellano, and Chino, and Zeta reported they met. The wording is a little off, I will probably change it.

    1. They didn't pose together, Chino just took a picture on the same party place with the same girls as Pancho Arellano Felix, which likely he was an invited guest. Then mysteriously Arellano Felix was murdered at that party, which placed Chino on the scene and made him a likely suspect.

      Delete
    2. That yacht was for julio cesar chavez jr, it was before a disappointing fight of his. Chino is friends with jr and that is why he was invited on the yacht. The party that francisco arellano was murdered at was his own birthday barty, both of these events happened around the same area get your facts straight

    3. The Chavez family of boxers, are friends with everybody, (Julio Cesar and his kids) is there a chance that they may be confused with some chapulines for jumping to all sides?

    2. To be more precise : "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." In conversation, most people just say "Pride goeth before a/the fall". Either way, its true @6:18 is correct. Many of these narcos downfall is their pride and ego.

    9. The Feds will just send him to a prison in the American heartland. He is a witness for the US attorneys office so he will be protected as such. He will be housed with other snithches, gays and dirty law enforcement officers. He should feel safe and at home with those groups.

    Sinaloa Cartel set him up, it was Zambada that ratted him out in order to avoid a conflict with the AFO. Zambada new Chino f@wked up when he kill Pancho and that the AFO wanted him at all cost, so El Miedo turned him in so business would continue to run smoothly

    1. There is a HUGE hole in your theory. CA doesn't kill without direct orders from the top. This was a hit and he did his job. He was not turned in by his boss. He was being tracked by the DEA ( SD division) and INTERPOL. His mistake was believing he was a celebrity and posting on social media. He shoulda took notes from his boss and stayed low key and enjoyed his riches.

      Delete
    2. That's what I heard too seems to be the best answer.

      Delete
    3. "CA doesnt kill without direct orders" .... How do YOU know? It is very common of sicarioa to do hits on their own and then tell their bosses they didnt do it, so that theory is pretty possible

    4. Chino was in charge of plazas in baja california, los cabos etc on behalf of el mayo. Francisco tried to come back in the game to do money laudering on chinos plaza so he got what was comming to him. Dice el dicho es mejor pedir perdon que pedir permiso, el mayo never authorized the hit but anyways it wouldnt matter because el mayo and the arrellanos are enemies for life after ramon arrellano was killed like a dog for trying to go after el mayo on his turf. cAF is nothing more than a gang now. This shit would never fly when they held power so many years ago

    5. Why does everyone blame Chino, where's the proof he killed Pancho Arrellano? The weekend of the fight would of been a perfect time to set him up.

  22. Its crazy how all the sinaloenses capos and hitmans got arrested around the same time and they are all averaging no more then 10yrs for crimes the commited yet someone not so high of a member gets caught and they give him 25 to life in prison for a couple of pounds wonder if mayo really has that much power to infiltrate the U.S. GOVERNMENT

    1. No, most of them snitch and cooperate thats why they get their time cut, if they give up big names then the government takes away big numbers from their sentence. Tyrone on the block selling grams cant give up someone as nig as chino antrax can. Plus he is giving up a million dollars most street dealers cant pay that amount

  25. Taken from dea.gov website

    "In his plea agreement, Arechiga-Gamboa ADMITTED that the Sinaloa Cartel uses violence and threats to intimidate rival cartels, and that he himself was 'a direct participant in, and communicated to other members of the Sinaloa Cartel, orders to commit acts of violence or threats of violence.' The Sinaloa Cartel operates across multiple continents and countries, importing large quantities of narcotics into Mexico from Asia and Central and South American countries including Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru, Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras and Guatemala."

    Admitted huh? Sounds to me like somebody snitched...
