/Sounds like "ehn" (as in "egg") + "BWEHL" + "toh" (as in "toll")/
Wrapped up in something shady or compromising. In the Caribbean (Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba), "envuelto" means you are tangled in a murky situation you probably should not be in. The wrapping metaphor is apt: once you are in it, it is hard to separate yourself from it.
“He is wrapped up in that scandal up to his neck.”
“I don't want to get mixed up in that business, it smells off.”

It's a warm, commercial term of endearment that instantly makes you feel like a regular, even if it's your first time there.
