Who says crime doesn’t pay! Mexican drug lord, Edgar Valdez Villarreal was arrested by Mexican security officials with, of course, the assistance from Washington and U.S. law enforcement.

Valdez Villarreal, a Texas-born fugitive known as "the Barbie" grinned Tuesday as police paraded him in handcuffs and described his alleged life of luxury and savagery — cut short when he became the third suspected drug lord to fall in Mexico in the past 10 months in a coup for President Felipe Calderon’s war on cartels.

***A comprehensive story on this event can be found on The Lang Report in an article titled, Mexico Captures Drug Lord – Will the Drug War Ever End?

Below is a pictorial of some of the spoils of Villarreal’s business dealings. Looks enticing, doesn’t it? Well there is just one thing you might want to consider before you board a flight to Mexico City. Think of how many people you have to kill to rise on the ranks of your stereotypical drug cartel…..that is if you don’t get killed yourself….an occupational hazard!
