Joaquin Guzman Lopez may have been working with American officials to arrange his surrender, but he may have fooled another drug trafficker, Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, into entering the United States. Guzman Lopez apparently told Zambada they were going to take a small plane to look at real estate in northern Mexico on Thursday.
