A viral video that appears to show El Chapo interrogating a man chained to a pole has been verified by the FBI.
FBI agent Stephen Marston identified Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman in the video during the cartel boss' ongoing trial in Brooklyn, New York on Tuesday.
The video, which went viral after it was uploaded to LiveLeak.com in 2015, shows a man in a baseball cap asking a number of questions to a man who is sitting down. His arms are behind his back and appear to be chained to a pole.
'Their money, it turns out they sent a phone,' the bound man tells Guzman.

'Who were they?' Guzman asks.
'From our people...Emiliano is in charge, the one who was killed yesterday,' the unidentified man replies.
'Oh! So that son of a b***h was the group's boss? He was the one in charge of all of Mazatlan?' Guzman asks, referring to a city in Mexico.
The interrogation continues, with Guzman at one point asking if the bound man is lying to him.
'Damn, we have to get that old lady so she can take care of all,' he says at another point in the conversation.
The other man in the video is believed to be a member of the rival Los Zetas cartel. It is unclear if he is still alive.

An FBI digital wiretap also captured the interrogation, which occurred on April 25, 2011, while someone nearby tried to make a call, according to the New York Post.
Marston said he could confirm the man in the baseball cap was Guzman because of voice recognition and his preference for the distinctive hat.
The jury was shown photos of Guzman wearing the same style of cap. Each photo also showed him holding a semi-automatic weapon.

On Tuesday the jury also heard a revealing audio recording in which Guzman describes to his underlings how to deal with cops.
In remarkable tapes played at the Brooklyn courtroom, Guzman is called 'boss' by several men over the phone as he laid down the law on how to deal with the Mexican authorities.
In one 2011 call, El Chapo listened to the chief enforcer for his cartel try to justify a beating he gave some crooked police officers.
After the two went back and forth over how to respond to Mexican authorities who dared to interfere with cartel business, El Chapo can finally be heard giving orders to 'just reprimand them, don't beat them up.'
The animated exchange was one of several recordings of phone calls intercepted by the FBI.
Guzman didn't know at the time that the FBI had hacked into a custom encrypted communications system created for the Sinaloa cartel by a computer tech company based in Colombia.
FBI agent Stephen Marston testified that investigators flipped the tech and had the cartel's computer servers moved to the Netherlands, where agents could more easily unscramble the data to eavesdrop on Guzman as he ran his empire from a mountaintop hideaway.

The audio evidence followed weeks of testimony by former cartel members about the inner-workings of Guzman's operation. Defense lawyers say the cooperators are the real culprits who are railroading their client to help their own cases.
The jury heard recordings of Guzman speaking in Spanish to his cohorts after the FBI agent testified that he had authenticated the defendant's voice - described by the agent as 'sing-songy' and 'high-pitched' - by comparing the recordings to those from other sources.
He testified that, between April 2011 and January 2012, investigators captured scores of conversations that show Guzman to be a hands-on manager demanding details about a tunnel used to smuggle drugs, bribing law enforcement, and other aspects of his wildly lucrative operation.
In a pair of phone calls, Guzman speaks to an unidentified woman who told him she could expand his American market beyond Los Angeles and into Ohio, according to English transcripts read to the jury by the agent.
He inquires several times about the demand for methamphetamine, asking, 'Do we have customers for "ice"?'

During the call with the notorious cartel security chief known as 'El Cholo,' Orso Ivan Gastelum brags to Guzman that he 'kicked their [behinds], the federals, all of them' during a recent run-in with police officers. Guzman responds that more diplomacy is needed.
'Don't be so harsh, Cholo,' he says. 'Take it easy with the police.'
Gastelum agrees, but only reluctantly.
'Well, you taught us to be a wolf, acting like a wolf, I'm remembering,' Gastelum replies. 'And that is how I like to do it.'
Prosecutors claim Guzman was the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, which at one stage is believed to have been responsible for more than half of drugs smuggled across the Mexican/US border.
El Chapo (seen above at his arrest in 2016) was reportedly reduced to tears when he saw his two daughters walk into the courthouse on Thursday. He last saw them in August, his lawyers say
They believe he spent a quarter of a century smuggling cocaine into the US, amassing as much as $14billion in wealth from doing so.
From 1989 to 2014, the Sinaloa cartel smuggled 340,892 pounds of cocaine into the United States, as well as heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana.
Assistant US Attorney Adam Fels said authorities in the US had seized enough cocaine to form 328 million separate lines of the drug - enough for every person in the US to have 'a line'.
However, El Chapo's lawyers claim he has been scapegoated in a vast conspiracy plotted by the prosecution's cooperating witnesses — who they argue are hoping to obtain visas for their testimony — and officials at the highest levels of the Mexican government.
Guzman has pleaded not guilty to a slew of charges, including importation and distribution of cocaine as well as firearms possession.
The trial is expected to last up to 16 weeks.

The video, which ...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
