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.

Could I get you to take a gander at post 15..?
Super weird AR! >_<
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.
BB guns- cannot be anything but BB guns- this is Calif semi sarcasm
Agreed. It’s not an AR.
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.
It’s a good start.
“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.
California governor & legislators must be in panic mode over this. 8>)
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.
How dare you post such scary images....
The authorities hope the raw number sounds so big they can make it look like the War on Drugs isn't continuing to fail.
