Yes.

Oh, okay.

Probably not.

That's, that's a whole, I mean, it could be happening, but I haven't done any reporting on that.

I mean, from what I know and what I've seen is them physically going and tapping into the pipeline and stealing it and putting it into the tanker and driving that across.

And just a few days ago,

11 members of the National Guard were arrested because they were caught red-handed at a pipeline stealing the oil.

I don't know if 17,000 tankers are moving across the border a day, but that's how much is being stolen per day.

So it's obviously going somewhere at a certain point in time.

And this is major profits for the cartel, especially with this crackdown at the southern border on fentanyl and human smuggling, which is a major financial pipeline for them.

Let's go make money off a different pipeline.

Legally, yeah.

So a lot of the crude oil from Mexico goes to the U.S.

and is refined in the U.S.

and Mexico buys it back.

Mexico doesn't have the infrastructure to do it.

They buy the gas back.

Interesting.

And so that's one that I talk about a lot because...

The problem with this is they can do it so under the radar, and they're experts at it at this point because it's been going on for so long.
