Sinaloa: "Chino Antrax" sentencing update

Lucio R. Borderland Beat using material from C. Martinez Scribd page

José Rodrigo Aréchiga Gamboa, aka Chino Antrax, was scheduled to be sentenced on this past Friday October 16th, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California.

On October 8th Frank J. Ragen, the attorney representing Aréchiga Gamboa, filed a request for continuance, due to time needed to prepare for the hearing.  Adam Braverman, Assistant United States attorney had no objection to the delay.  The new sentencing date is April, 08, 2016. (see doc below)

Aréchiga Gamboa has pleaded guilty in the case against him in a plea agreement. In the plea agreement (below) it lists conditions or acts that would nullify the agreement.

The government will recommend to the court to impose the low end of the guideline scale.

It also states that the U.S. Government has made no representation as to what sentencing will be and that the defendant is aware the judge in the case may impose maximum sentence provided by statute.

The defendant waives all rights to appeal.

In the plea the defendant agreed to forfeit 1,000,000 dollars payable to the Unites States government.  He submitted his first payment of 100k. (at left)

The plea agreement also states the U.S. has calculated a 40/41 sentencing score.  Theoretically, with a score of 40/41 sentencing would be 360 months to life, without mediating factors.

In this hypothetical case with good time, and time served it would calculate to 288 months and 28 days of actual served time when released. 


But, no one expects the maximum and when sentenced is imposed by the Hon. Judge Sabraw, we should have a pretty good idea of just how much information Aréchiga Gamboa gave up to authorities.

    1. who said 2 years? that was a sample case (hypothetical)

      I think you are correct 8-10 years

    2. Thats not bad at all! Chino started moving drugs once he was at the top! Lets not forget he was Hired to be a Hitman! He's a killer, not even doing time for all the lifes he took! So id say he's one lucky SOB

    3. He's been down 2 he will et 8 years with 2 served it will become 6 and from those 6 I say it will turn to 41/2 do to snitching and good conduct

    5. Chivis I've done federal time, I was right there in mcc in san Diego in 2009 for re-entry I had 18 points on the federal guide lines, I signed, and took a deal for 49-51 months but the judge sentenced me to 18 months in a u.s.p I served my time in Florence, usp I'm a sureno, anyways.from my experience I think the judge is going to give chino antrax probably 180-240 months at a usp.

    6. @7:10 really that much? I would have never guessed that but mine is not an educated guess based on knowing the system first hand. I thought leniency would be given because during this administration that is how its been.

      BTW maybe you can answer a question for me. If a prisoner is no longer listed in BOP and release date "unavailable" what does that mean? Mamito after he testified for the US in the Zetas trial he has vanished.

      Delete
    7. "In some instances, the inmate’s release date was unavailable within SENTRY. According to a BOP official, this information may be missing for a variety of reasons, such as an inmate escaping from a halfway house. In these cases, the BOP is unable to determine the inmate’s release date until the inmate is captured or surrendered and then adjudicated."

      In other words "Mamito" is not in federal custody, he's free as a bird, either in protective custody or working undercover for the government in a high density spanish speaking community - like Houston or Dallas, etc.

      Delete
    8. Chivis: Likely WITSEC. If he's testified against others and given he's cut a deal and is providing information he will be in the BOP's witness protection program so they can keep his location, etc. a secret.

      Delete
    9. It means that he is in protective custody or a witness protection program.

      Delete
    10. ok...here is the story.
      we began getting reports that mamito was seen several times in tamps. then a person I trust said as much. not that he saw him but someone credible did.

      so I looked at the inmate locator and it says:
      NOT IN BOP CUSTODY

      and

      RELEASE DATE UNKNOWN

      if he was in the wp program he would still be in custody only no identifiers would be listed. this says he is not. So we sat on the story.

      Please only those who really know what this means reply to specifics.
      I called to see if he was in marshall's custody and although they would not confirm that, they did say in general he would not go back to them under any circumstance

      thanks

    11. El Mamito still has to do time in Mexico so I don't believe he was loose roaming Tamaulipas.

    12. Nope, he doesn't in the agreement he can't be tried for the same crimes in both countries. the only way he would have to stand trial in mx if another charge came up after his extradition.

    2. thank you so much. I have seen most of these except one. I wondered if they were shopped to throw police off. It made no sense to have plastic surgery and then give up photos like yuri did. if they are real wow sure turned a nice looking face into something homely.

  6. "The plea agreement also states the U.S. has calculated a 40/41 sentencing score. Theoretically, with a score of 40/41 sentencing would be 360 months to life, without mediating factors."

    I think that you may be off on your calculations. I think in the plea deal they agreed that Chino fell into the criminal history category of 1, which means that statutory guidelines call for between 292-405 months. Which means he could be out in 248.2 months assuming the judge sentences him to 292 months.

    4. 7:52 That's not universal. You've obviously never seen major trials that they've full on broadcast on television. It is the case in some jurisdiction but not all. Just look at all the photographs of the Aurorora movie theater shooter Jason Holmes during his trial. Hell, OJ Simpson trying on the gloves in the court room in his murder trial. It depends on the court, the jurisdiction, etc. Chino is going to be in WITSEC and so that is likely the reason. That and the media he just doesn't give a shit. They only care about the sensational cases in the U.S. and not the horrors that go on in Mexico at the hands of guys like Chino Antrax. Sad but true.

  30. First off the cartels don't run shit in the US prison system. The American prison gangs run the Feds. Everything goes thru La EME, Aryan Brotherhood and Black Guerilla Family but it depends where you are in the penal system. The cartels get permission from the prison gangs to make any moves. Remember when John Gotti got his ass beat by the BGF member because he refuse to pay the AB protection money. The AB sent the BGF member to make a point and the point was made. If Chino is in my SD then La EME runs things there obviously. But knowing Chinoa situation and his snitching status he will be far away from any California FCI, USP or Admax. No matter how powerful the cartels are in Mexico it don't mean shit to the the established American prison gangs. They have too many soldiers in and out of the pinta to bow down to any cartel.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I guess you are a narco rookie 7:22. The cartels need the street gangs and prison gangs in the US just as much as the gangs need the cartels. If a street gang gets sideways with a certain cartel then guess what move on to the next best thing. There are too many dope dealing sources for street gangs to cry over spilled milk. If the CDS is coming up short then maybe AF or BLO will give me what I want so on and so forth. The cartels are powerful don't get me wrong but when you are dealing with north of the Mexican border the rules change just a bit.

In the end The United States Government and Associated Counter parts are the biggest Organization to kill people and if they really wanted they could touch each and everyone of you with a touch of a botton, but confiscated drugs and money are free off the books profit, easy money and easy pickings we just have to make it look hard for the public and publicity.

  42. In reality if cartel sets up shop in a US town, which they do and end up having legit businesses too. Gangs will tax them but its not low level street cholos. Its either a NF member depending what part you live in or eMe member. Most of the times they go undetected tho. Like someone said up above money does it all. The Italian mob from back then doesn't compare to cartels now in days. Mexican cartels are ruthless. A lot of Mexicans are in the US selling dope in the streets to dope heads with out gangs in the US getting involved. These cartel members that go to prison go with the paisas not with the gangs. The paisas have a huge population in prison. The paisas will protect there own
