Didn't Chapo had a similar security ring? I heard or remember reading that Chapo had 600 ex military members with 3 rings of security when rumors of Chapo's location first started to appear. Also Arturo Beltran Leyva allegedly order La Barbie to dispatch 400 sicarios to rescue him when he was cornered in Cuernavaca.
