Yeah, we were.

I mean, it's typically they stay separate.

They only are together when there's a delivery.

But in this situation, they had apparently gone to Mexico together and were coming back together.

They did not stint on their efforts.

They spent thousands of hours in their cars watching these people and building up evidence for the indictment.

It really was an incredible effort.

One of his lieutenants had gone to New York and was getting ready to board a plane to China.

And so we asked the New York authorities to arrest that guy.

And because of that, we were concerned that Tsai Chang might also be planning to leave the country.

And so we determined that we better arrest him as well.

You know, I get asked that question a lot and it does make a dent.

And it's not exactly whack-a-mole because now they have to develop another network to distribute the funds that they're getting from the narcotics traffickers.

And on top of that, they owe the money that they lost to the cartel and they have to make good on that.

I think it's the tip of the iceberg.

I think there's a ton more going on.
