And so I think one of them was referenced in your story, The Unlikely Narco.

Was it the Palladium?

That's where Beltrale would party.

That's where Barbie would party.

Well, you take a club like that.

Very high end.

You know, this is where the drug lords are partying.

So they're all legitimately dropping, you know, multiple thousand dollars on a round of drinks.

Right.

Like it's nothing.

But more importantly, let's say you take a club of that size.

Not only are you going to be able to push money through with phantom alcohol sales, but you've got what they were using was the women.

to serve as a vehicle.

So let's say you've got 300 women on the workforce, and that's what works over the course of the day.

You've got three shifts, day shift, afternoon shift, overnight shift, right?

At the end of their shift, each woman gets handed $500, go deposit in the bank.

But at the end of a month, that's $4.5 million for 300 women, right?

That are now in a bank.

At the end of a year, those 300 women have over $50 million sitting in bank accounts collectively.

So then what they do is they say, okay, you, Angela, Maria, go buy this condo.
