I wanted to start a new category called Bounties, because I think this is an area that private industry can certainly get involved with and benefit. It is surprising how many bounties there are out there throughout the world, and if the readership ever comes across some of the high dollar ones, let me know and I will post them. Happy hunting. –Matt

Mexico’s huge bounties on drug lords
Tue, 24 Mar 2009
Mexico has offered rewards of up to USD 2 million to those who provide tips that leads to the arrest of the country’s drug ringleaders.
According to an official publication released on Monday, the government has offered “up to 30 million pesos (two million dollars) to whomever provides information that is useful, true and leads to the location and arrest” of the drug lords, AFP said.
Mexico’s attorney general Eduardo Medina Mora has published a list of 24 drug kingpins, including Mexico’s most-wanted man, Joaquin “Shorty” Guzman whose name stands top on the list.
Medina Mora said the government is even ready to accept information provided by rival drug gangs.
“We don’t rule out that those giving us information are part of (organized crime) groups. The important thing is to capture the wanted person,” he told reporters.
Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon, using the country’s armed forces, has launched a crackdown on drugs and drug-related violence since he took office in December 2006.
In 2008 more than 5,300 died in Mexico in drug-related violence.
The Sinaloa cartel is among the most notorious Mexican drug cartels led by Guzman.
Guzman who escaped from a maximum security prison near Guadalajara in 2001, recently ranked among Forbes magazine’s wealthiest people around the globe.
Medina Mora described Mexico’s ongoing drug violence escalation as “unheard of.”
“Solid and decided participation and collaboration on the part of society is indispensable,” he said.

She would be a good one for the Bounties category. I would love to see that waste of space, be brought back to the US and do her time.
