With respect to transporting money to Mexico, that was fairly easy.

The cash generated by Sinaloa's American-based distribution network was consolidated in L.A.,

and simply physically transported down to Mexico.

Essentially, these are what are known as bulk cash transports.

That's what $3 million in cash looks like.

When I was 22 years old, I participated in a handful of bulk cash transports.

The money would be loaded into the trunk of a Toyota, then driven down to the border.

While not very sophisticated, it was very effective.

No, no, of course not.

We don't cross the border.

Because that's a separate operation.

Okay.

See, the group in Los Angeles is essentially a distribution network.

Their operation requires them to get the money to the border.

So once, just north of San Diego, just north of the border, there's a small town called San Ysidro.

And before you get into Mexico, there's a McDonald's right near the border.

And so what you do is you drive to, in my case, a Toyota Camry, bomb run down to San Diego, go to the McDonald's, order some food, bullshit around.

Here comes the operative for the other group.

So now he'll come over, give me a dollar bill, ask for change.

I give the guy four quarters, he goes on his way.
