I don't see why the tunnel workers would have to be made either rich or dead. They need not know anything about where Guzman is now, so why would it matter if they talked? Doing so would get them in trouble with the authorities, and would likely lead to them then being killed by someone hired by Guzman, so it would probably not be smart for any of them to blab about this.

Good point. I would think that killing them would prevent someone from accidentally telling a girlfriend who might, in anger, go to the authorities. Of course, doing so would get her killed also so maybe there really is no need for them to kill the workers.

Hopefully, the authorities will recapture him and keep him in prison this time.

Since he is very wealthy, that makes it hard to keep him in custody.  His method of escape must have cost quite a lot of money, as it involved buying the property, building the house, and then paying workers to dig a long tunnel (which probably cost extra, because they were doing something illegal).  Most criminals in prisons could never afford such things.

Given that the Mexican government seems unable to keep him in custody, hopefully they will kill him when they are trying to capture him.  Either that or immediately hand him over to U.S. authorities.

Why should Mexico "turn him over to the US?"  It's a sovereign nation...Fuckhead Trump notwithstanding.

They are showing an inability to keep him in prison. Otherwise, I would agree that there would be no reason for them to do so.

I'm sure he broke enough laws in Mexico.  In case you forgot, our record for prison security is not exactly unblemished, either.

I'm rather surprised these news only reached America now. It's all over our news for the last two days.

And why the outrage? He's a businessman catering to a market. You could even argue he's hurt less people than the suits at Wallstreet.

As a criminal it must be really cool to tell everyone how awesome you are for escaping jail
