Authorities said the operation involved Mexican special forces and intelligence cooperation with U.S. agencies.

Officials did not name any civilian informants or online figures linked to the operation.

In early February, the streamer claimed online that he planned to claim the bounty. He also celebrated the reported deaths on-air.

He later reappeared claiming his identity had been stolen.

This incident, coupled with recent bounty comments, has been called “evidence” by users, despite there being no evidence of actual contact with authorities.

Cheesur’s real name is Nermin Džaferović and he is a 23-year-old Kick and Twitch streamer living in Jacksonville, Florida. He started streaming in 2019, building an audience through gaming content and collaborations with big creators.

His career has been marked by controversy, including accusations of offensive comments and fundraising disputes, which have polarized his reputation online.

There is no credible evidence that Cheesur played any role in locating or targeting El Mencho, although viral posts suggest otherwise. The claim appears to stem from timing, past online drama and speculation — rather than verified fact.
