Because the Santa Rosa Limit Cartel is a very territorial centric organization that leverages specifically extortion. for money laundering.

And their symbol, here's their emoji, is the hammer, like the two hammers that are kind of crossed, and then a red triangle. Because that's their symbol. It was a triangle with two hammers in the back. So their emoji is that, like the hammer and the red triangle. That's what they use. Very territorial. I mean, and these guys are another one that are very violent.

Last year, there was a couple of car bombings in Guanajuato that more than likely it was them. They have no problem actively targeting Mexican police. Like Guanajuato is one of the most violent states. I think it's the most violent state right now in Mexico. And where the highest number of Mexican police officers are assassinated, the vast majority of that can be directly tied to this cartel.

that almost became defunct a while ago. In 2021, 2020, they almost became defunct and they revert back and they're very, very aggressive. But to the point of other legitimate businesses, I mean, yeah, of course they probably do drug trafficking, but they are very territorial.

I've talked to him a lot. His name is Nathan Jones. He's on Twitter. I think it's Nathan P. Jones. And he wrote a book. This was, I think, in 2016 he wrote it. And it kind of really helped me frame my understanding of Mexican cartels. And so even it's like almost 10 years old, I highly recommend people to buy it and read it.

And what he realized in his study is that the territorial cartels were a lot more violent because they needed to hold the territory either against their rivals or against the Mexican government.
