On Wednesday, the FBI’s “Most Wanted” account on the social media platform X highlighted the reward of up to $2 million for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Mexican national Griselda Margarita Arredondo Pinzón, identified as a high-ranking financial operator for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
The post describes Arredondo Pinzón as an alleged “senior financial executive of a powerful transnational cartel and designated foreign terrorist organization in Mexico.” The account added that she is wanted for running an international fraud scheme targeting U.S. owners of timeshares in Mexico.
Griselda Margarita Arredondo Pinzón was born on June 1, 1990, in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. She is an accountant by profession and, according to court documents, participated in the fraud scheme starting around 2012.
Arredondo Pinzón worked at the CJNG headquarters, where she coordinated and oversaw the operations of call centers dedicated to defrauding timeshare owners. From that location, she supervised the receipt and laundering of funds obtained from victims, the majority of whom were U.S. citizens.
Arredondo Pinzón is one of eight CJNG members for whom the United States is offering a combined total of up to $100 million in rewards—an initiative announced on August 5, 2026.
