I never knew El Presidente. Sammy had a noticeable scar across his flattened nose like he was on the wrong end of a machete. Back in the old days he would be riding the donkey sometimes not all the time. He loved the Overproof and would beg a bokkle or money for one. He was a friendly nice guy who as I recall never caused anybody any problems. So not sure if he is El Presidente or not.
