<p>Remember that the accent, his blackness, and his relationship with Max Arciniega was remarked upon by the Cartel leaders before they murdered Max in front of him.

What do we know about Gustavo Fring's background?
</p><p>
-We know that he is a black man with powerful connections and who according to Max Archinegra was wealthy and esteemed enough to rescue him from the slums and put him through college. There is a very small black population in Chile, less than 0.01% according to the last census and most of them in poverty in an already poor nation.
</p><p>
-We know that he has an odd accent and speaks sometimes grammatically incorrect Spanish, although this can simply a mistake due to the reality of Giancarlo Esposito not Spanish as his native language.
</p><p>
-We know that there are no records of him existing in Chile.
</p><p>
-We know that he is extremely proper, polite, professional, and despite his power and prosperity does not care for pretty and ostentatious things.
</p><p>
-We know that he has answers to Madrigal Electromotive GmBH.
</p><p>
What do we know about Madrigal Electromotive GmBH?
</p><p>
- We know that it is a multinational conglomerate based in Germany, a NATO nation that spent it's post WWII/Cold War years heavily under the thumb of the USA.
</p><p>
-We know that Gus's direct supervisor Peter Schuler committed suicide rather than speak to the authoritities when Gus's meth operation was blown.
</p><p>
What do we know about the history of Chile?
</p><p>
-We know that the 1973 coup d'état that eventually placed Augusto Pinochet into power was supported by the United States and that the U.S. continued to back his regime. He scratched our backs while we scratched his.
</p><p>
-We know that the Pinochet regime ran an international drug smuggling syndicate, and the majority of those drugs were exported to North America and Europe.
</p><p>
-Conspiracy theorists believe that the American CIA put Pinochet into power as a puppet, micromanaged Chile, and ran the drug operation to fund black ops.
</p><p>
What do we know about Vince Gilligan?
</p><p>
-We know that he got his first big break as a writer and producer for the conspiracy theory/paranormal centered show <i>The X-Files</i>.
</p><p>
My conclusion is that Gustavo Fring is a US intelligence asset and that Madrigal Electromotive is a CIA umbrella operation.
