Smashing the Sinaloa cartel: Major coup for DEA as agents seize $6MILLION cash[tr]

Federal prosecutors have indicted 75 people including 40 in San Diego in a massive drugs and money operation which has been called the biggest money laundering investigation ever in the Californian city. The defendants allegedly laundered drug proceeds from the Sinaloa cartel for years, U.S. Attorney Adam Braverman said at a news conference in downtown San Diego. He said the network was responsible for laundering tens of millions of dollars in drug profits over the past three years. 'We have siphoned the cash and life out of a San Diego-based international money laundering organization with ties to the Sinaloa cartel,' Braverman said.

Suffice to say that those who were in charge of the cash will be getting more than a “verbal reprimand” and a disciplinary letter in their HR file.

Sorry, but $6 million for the cartels is petty change — a minor cost of doing business.

We need THE WALL.

That’s about 1/2500th of the wealth of Sinaloa. Petty cash.
Let us know when the banks that launder the 14 billion they hold are seized.

Agreed. 6 million...please. With the opioid epidemic growing by the minute....the cash has to be swelling as well. Where is the money?????? Show me the money!!!!!
We need more than the wall. President Trump is right. Death penalty for those bankers that facilitate the illegal drug business.

The Clinton Cartel has billions.

6 million $ is not enough for a Clinton Speech, not even Chelsea.

On other words - no due process, the gov’t employees simply stole the money.

civil asset forfeiture is a tyrannical crime

Check the news story. 22 lb fentanyl seized, which sounds significant. The alleged main money launderer charged and released on $25,000 bond. $25,000 sounds like the roundoff error in the cartel petty change account.

Going after the Sinaloa Cartel is all well and good, but I want to know when they are going to smash the Shinola Cartel, and their arch-rivals the Kiwi Syndicate. Those two organizations have controlled 99.99% of the shoe polish industry in this country for decades, and it's time authorities did something about it.

VERY unusual mag well on the bottom most AR carbine:

Can anyone explain..?

It is odd. No bolt release paddle, looks like the selector switch is moved to the mag well, and there is a rounded out divot just above the front trigger pin.

Hmmmmm

if they had seized $6 billion in cash, the headline might be closer to reality.

$6 million isn’t even coin pocket change for a cartel.

the writer is hopelessly optimistic

There is also no bolt release lever on the visible side of the receiver of the carbine on the bottom.

Nothing to explain really, it is just how it was designed. I’ve seen them forged, flared, made to look like skulls etc.

It looks like a cutout for something like the old knurled knob on P.08 magazines

I have no idea why someone would do that to an AR
