Video of Mayito Gordo at SeaWorld San Diego

Some people in the comments have speculated that they can see a firearm under Mayito’s clothing.

To be clear, SeaWorld forbids all weapons from entering their parks and every person entering SeaWorld is screened for weapons. 

Not in WITSEC

To address a concern brought up in the comments of the previous story, if Mayito Gordo is visiting or living in southern California, then it’s highly unlikely that he is currently in the Federal Witness Protection Program (WPP), also known as WITSEC, or an equivalent state-level program. 

The purpose of such a program is to move you to an area where you’ll be both safe and unrecognized by anyone from your former life, most especially any previous criminal contacts. 

The superseding indictment for Mayito Gordo specifically cited his management of a drug smuggling network “through the Southern District of California” and the laundering of drug proceeds “from the United States through the Southern District of California.” This means he worked with a network of criminal contacts who were located in southern California. 

The person entering the program does not get a choice in location they are moved to; it is instead decided by the US Marshal’s Service or state-level authorities.

It is extremely unlikely that the federal or state program placed him in (or allowed him to visit) southern California, therefore there is almost no chance he is in such a program.
