You can provide an accounting.

I got to the drop-off point.

I got the receipt.

Right.

Everybody's in the clear.

Now, what they do, they take the money and run it into Mexico.

They got to get it down to Guadalajara.

At the time, no.

I don't know how it is today, but back then, of course, nobody was getting any searches whatsoever.

And remember, it's Mexican nationals going back into Mexico.

So it's not even, you know, 21, 22-year-old Americans, which perhaps theoretically could get some level of scrutiny.

You got just some guy coming home from work.

No, they definitely want to get it into the Mexican bank.

Right.

Well, not very difficult, but it requires a tremendous amount of infrastructure to be in place.

And so, you know, what was advantageous for Sinaloa is their territory encompassed four of the principal tourist destinations.

So they had control of Guadalajara, which is the second largest city in Mexico.

which is essentially taking Chicago and Houston, adding them together.

That's their city.

So you've got tremendous amount of nightclubs, tremendous amount of strip clubs, all of these cash-intensive businesses that they can use to filter money through.
