The investigators need to look at the banks!!!Read about the banks BCCI for one that set up shop in Mena Arkansas during Clinton’s time as Governor. Just so happened that drugs and money were flowing thru town as well.

what is with gangbangers and the weird guns, they are tools not status symbols.

Actually to most people they are tools

Could be an AR designed for a lefty, where the bolt release and selector lever is on the other side.

It’s a toy of some kind on the bottom. The selector lever in the wrong location and no bolt release. It’s a CO2 gun.

Also, no castle nut on the buffer tube. It’s a BB gun.

Not an A2 grip. There is no hole at the bottom and no crease line were it attaches to the lower.

They ought to look at banks, but they won’t. There is way too much money involved.

Everybody loves money.

Therein lay the problem.

6 million is petty change and may be less than “acceptable” loss to the multi-billion dollar Narco “corporation”.

HSBC laundered tens of billions and was fined some relatively small amount. $6 million is maybe a weeks worth of business. It’s nothing.

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

my first thought, too. $6 mill probably doesn’t even cover that cartel’s annual ammo bill ...

That’s how we are going to build it - we will confiscate major cartel cash, issue a press release, and get it built at no taxpayer expense.

At that point, you need to start contracting the consulting engineers for assessing a new face on Rushmore.

I think the term these days is Crumbs.

I guess the amount depends on time. Is it 6 Million per day, per hour? You would have something there. I don't believe they would have said 6 Million if they could have possibly under any scenario said 60 Million or 6 Billion.

6 million?! That’s not much of a smash. That’s like 1 day’s revenue. 75 indictments might sting.

That’s about 1/2500th of the wealth of Sinaloa. Petty cash.

The authorities hope the raw number sounds so big they can make it look like the War on Drugs isn't continuing to fail.
