Part 4/6:
The Question of Trust and Betrayal
A critical aspect of these negotiations hinges on El Mayo’s willingness to betray others in the cartel. Given his position of power within the organization, any betrayal could lead to retributions or shifts in the cartel's internal balance of power. The question remains: was he deeply betrayed himself, and has he been offered immunity or protection in exchange for his cooperation?
The possibility that El Mayo might have been "ratted on"—that is, betrayed by insiders or enemies—adds a layer of intrigue. If such revelations occur, they could not only seal his fate but also unravel layers of secrecy and operational security that the cartel has maintained.
