Undercover agent by day, Monopoly man by night

That mustache alone could have taken him down.

[@heathertodd1251]

Right now he's working a case on Dr. Seuss. He's under cover as the lorax.

[@benjaminmahan5277]

He easily avoided giving any sensitive information. And didn't actually tell you how they got El chapo, but he made you think he did. The last thing he said was "and then there were different things that happened that led to the capture of EL Chapo" Bravo, very well trained :).

When McGowan introduced himself to El Chapo: "Bawnjorno."

Florida Man: "I speak the most Sicilian, so I'll be our transport. Patricio speaks second most, so he will be our Sicilian right hand man. Mike third most, so he'll be head of the organization."

[@hadokenl5762]

People say you have to be a genius to become an FBI agent when in reality all you have to do is be flamboyant and put on a purple robe every once in a while

[@SadfoxGuyver]

" south Florida all the criminals looked the same "

Plot Twist: EL Chapo was hiding in his mustache

[@billygilmusic5072]

so this guy captured the biggest narco in the world by straight up just vibing? what a legend

[@Ez-Quintel]

So all they had to do was ask him to speak Sicilian and he would’ve been caught

[@ln5321]

Showing up to a meeting in a purple robe is a real alpha move

[@jorgeaugusto1867]

Alright Italian drug lord do some metric system math for me

[@IndianaJones1219]

I feel that Nick Offerman would nail the role of Mike McGowan.
