Okay.
Yeah.
And it's interesting because...
When I was, I gained access to a few group chats that were run by the cartels on WhatsApp, Telegram.
WhatsApp is like the starting point just because of the way the encryption is set up.
They don't want to talk about too much, but because it is so accessible, it's a great way to hire people, recruit people.
And so I gained access to a group chat where they were basically recruiting people to work as enforcers for them, sicarios, managing certain logistics of the business, whether that's paying off authority, finding out who's who, getting the arms, finding the dealers, contracting straw buyers, whatever it may be.
When I was in this group chat,
The first thing that stood out to me was two of the phone numbers were Canadian area codes.
One was Alberta and one was Toronto.
And one of the individuals was directly asked if he could take out a hit if need be.
He would be paid $55,000 Canadian.
He would have to buy a Glock with three mags, I think it was.
I have the screenshot.
there could be no kids around.
And if he goes to the house, make sure that no family is around of the individual that needs to be killed.
And so for a lot of these people, money was put on the table right away.
You get into this group chat, whether that means you're going to be moving fentanyl pills into the US, whether that means you may have to take out a hit or pay someone off, conducts any sort of logistics,
It was, this is how much you'll make.
Take it or leave it.
