They also had control of the resorts.

And so right across the bay from Sinaloa is Cabo.

Well, that metropolitan area encompassing both Cabo San Lucas and Los Cabos was essentially built by Sinaloa.

Okay.

Because the thing is, you know, when American resorts go down into Mexico, they're essentially renting the property.

You know, the Ritz-Carlton doesn't build the resort.

Hyatt doesn't build a resort.

A cartel-owned property company owns the land.

They lease it.

to a cartel-owned company that manages the resort.

They have a second property, second company that's responsible for the development company for building the resort.

So this is just all money circulating through various accounts.

And then the American come in and say, hey, well, we're going to brand this thing a Hillen Hotel.

Not realizing that the land it's on belongs to the cartel.

The property is rented.

And the property is managed all by cartel-front companies.

Now, in order to get the money into the banking system, that's where it requires a large infrastructure.

But again, having control of the American tourist areas provides them with a ready pretext.

Why?

Because Americans go down there and they're spending dollars.
