Scott Anthony Calls Out the Flores Twins | El Chapo, Snitching & Cartel Truths

Scott Anthony returns to 10 Toes Podcast for a raw, unfiltered conversation about the Flores twins, El Chapo, El Mayo Zambada, federal informants, cartel politics, and the reality behind street loyalty.After Jason’s interview with the Flores twins sparked backlash online, Scott and Jason explain how the dispute began, question parts of the twins’ public story, and debate what cooperation with the federal government means once someone returns to the public eye.Scott also recounts the $700,000 counterfeit-money incident that put federal agents on his trail, recognizing when a childhood friend was surrounded by law enforcement, living as a fugitive, and eventually realizing that there is no lasting honor in the criminal world.Jason shares how he fought two federal cases, beat one at trial, received a 15-year sentence in the other, and ultimately came home through COVID-era home confinement before receiving clemency. Together, they discuss cooperating witnesses, federal prosecutors, expensive defense attorneys, public defenders, and the decisions defendants face when the government controls the evidence and the potential sentence.The conversation also explores:• The Flores twins’ cooperation against El Chapo• El Mayo Zambada and the Sinaloa Cartel• Alleged hidden drug money and the cases against the twins’ wives• Why cartel connections do not necessarily make someone a gangster• Government informants and federal cooperation agreements• The difference between street reputation and criminal reality• Organized crime and corruption in Mexico• Public defenders versus private defense attorneys• Why crime stories receive more attention than redemption• Scott’s transformation from street life to author, businessman, husband, and fatherThis episode does not glorify crime. It is an honest examination of betrayal, accountability, federal prosecution, redemption, and the consequences that eventually reach everyone involved in the criminal world.CHAPTERS00:00 Explosive opening00:42 Scott Anthony returns04:07 Corruption, Mexico and trusting the government05:26 The $700,000 counterfeit-money setup08:17 Jason’s federal cases and clemency14:04 Cooperating witnesses and street code20:14 Why crime receives more attention than redemption23:41 Scott becomes a fugitive32:28 Recognizing a federal informant39:05 How the Flores twins controversy started43:52 The old-school rules surrounding snitching45:52 Scott’s connection to the twins’ Chicago circle47:39 Chicago power, Cato and disputed allegations49:32 What makes someone a successful criminal?52:06 El Chapo and cartel power struggles53:33 Cartel muscle and the meaning of “gangster”1:00:07 Questioning the Flores twins’ Mexico story1:05:11 Theories surrounding El Mayo Zambada1:09:22 The CIA, Sinaloa and cartel politics1:11:57 The Flores twins, hidden money and their wives1:18:33 Is there really honor among criminals?1:23:25 Stories larger than the Flores twins1:25:17 How cooperating witnesses remain alive1:30:30 Cartel informants and government deals1:32:36 Jason’s federal case consulting work1:34:07 Public defenders versus private attorneys1:39:39 Organized crime and everyday life in Mexico1:42:14 How an online disagreement became a feud1:45:10 Crime stories, movie deals and public attention1:49:15 Final thoughts1:53:34 Scott’s books and social media🛒 Dope Boy Empire Merch: https://www.dbeapparel.com🔗 CONNECT WITH 10 TOES PODCAST👉 Jason on Instagram / 8upjay 👉 Jason on TikTok / 8upjay 🔗 CONNECT WITH SCOTT👉 Scott On Instagram / scottanthonyog 👉 Scott on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@scottanthonyogJoin 10 Toes After Dark Patreon exclusive content 👉 / 10toespodcast Several statements made during this episode are personal recollections, allegations, theories, or opinions expressed by the speakers and have not been independently verified.#ElChapo #FloresTwins #10ToesPodcast
