65 lbs of Crystal Meth seized at Lincoln - Juarez Bridge
Location: Laredo, Texas
Drug: Crystal meth
Weight: 65 lbs
Discovery: Vehicle
Value: 1.3 million dollars US
Officials of the Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP) intercepted on the Texas side of the Juarez - Lincoln bridge, a shipment of Crystal Meth valued at 1.3 million dollars US. The drugs were discovered after a search of a Durango Van driven by a 20 year old woman from Nuevo Leon.
Otis: If you look at this seizure and the seizure prior to this, its a wonder anyone bothers shipping marijuana north anymore. Both shipments have the same value, except the meth could be carried by one man at a weight of 65 pounds, the other would have to be moved in an articulated truck. If you compare CJNG and CDS, CJNG and Los Cuinis ship much more meth North of the border hence the latest data showing CJNG and Los Cuinis as the richest of the current cartels, with the real money for Sinaloa coming from Heroin and Cocaine shipments.

Shitloads of bud getting busted.
ReplyDeleteQuality sensImilla is bought for 200 mxn ($11-12USD) per kilo in the mountains of Sinaloa and maybe 50 pesos more in the cities along Carretera 15 from Nayarit to Los Mochis. In any U.S. border town a kilo will sell for $300 and 15-20% more once it is past customs border patrol check point. How does a 30,000% gross markup not make Mexican millionaires? Buying a commodity in pesos and selling in dollars (close to 17 peso per dollar) they are getting rich from exchange rate change alone. Even with the bulkiness the risk reward selling wholesale is much better than other options.
DeleteIsnt it marijuana harvest season-Oct?Explains why theres so much.
Delete@4:25 - Claro que si. Compa - sabes que tu negocio muy bien...sinaloense no?
Delete4:25 all the grifa in the w orld may make some little chapo grade drug trafficker a billionaire, at least a millionaire, BUT DRUGS ARE NOT THEIR PROPERTY TO MAKE ALL THE LITTLE NARCOS MILLIONAIRES...
DeleteALL THE KICKBACKS, PLAZA, PISO, MORDIDAS AND MISCELLANEOUS FEES barely leave the troops enough for maruchan, gunnery fees and gasoline to go and murder the competition to steal their little table droppings...
--All the classic capitalist exploitation schemery, the worthless rabble make no money, "they don't deserve it because they do not better themselves in harvard or MIT" they are not even a paratrooper like General Manuel Noriega...
--he murdered his Godfather General Omar Torrijos and went on to make untold billions on the side, unleashing the ires of the Panamanian invaders that brung his nasty ass down to prison...
A kilo of coca leaves in Colombia runs between one and half pesos and three pesos....
Delete9:41 yep,yep and yip, yip, the farmers never in their whole life see good money unless they market their own produce, but the police and the narcs will know right away who done cheated them and guess what? It is game over for them...
Delete--Marketing giniuses are the ones that get all the money always...
Same with the legal farmers too no different.I read a week ago in my rural newspaper a wheat farmer only makes 18 cents on a loaf of bread and then has all the weather risks,hail,frost etc.Yes you can get crop insurance but doesn't cover your potential profits only reimburses cost of your seeds and fertilizer and not your labour.
Deletethats a whole year worth of seizures in most major countries
ReplyDeleteMr guzman will not be happy about this..
ReplyDeleteYes he will they will take pictures for the Americas and he'll picki t up later
DeleteHa Ha probably true.
DeleteHeroin, Crystal, Cocaine the three main btches making cartel goons millionares, from flipping burgers to flipping chipps....the thing is which of those is the most popular among dope junkies? By that i mean in numbers of tonnes consumed each year in all the US?? An answer that not even btch CIA knows about....Mission impossible for the bastards....Ssstrryykke four ! you'rrreee outt ! outta the US hellraises! !
ReplyDelete@6:18 maaan, you are high on your own hairball, maybe you should have washed it first...
DeleteHeroina vs cristal vs cocaina- seriously??? WAY more kilos de cocaina is used in USA en that is why los carteles de Mexico love cristale - they own supply and no have to compete with los Hations, Dominicans, Columbians, Jamacains, gringos and other that bring cocaina y heroina to USA everyday by ship to every ports and every aeroport international in USA. Powder and rock Is used everywhere in USA by people rich and poor and sold in every neighborhood and kilo de cocaina is cheep many places. Cristal price de kilo stay high and turn money fastest.

Crystal meth poor mans cocaine
DeleteUh-uh, 1:44 PM, like crack, crystal meth is cheaper by the rock, but it's way nastier than cocaine. Cokeheads have a better chance of rehabilitation and staying in recovery than meth addicts do. Meth tweakers chances are next to none. Meth tweaking puts users at risk for Hep-C and HIV and OD. Meth is a death sentence.
Delete--One 7.00 dollar hit meth, work all day at 100mph
Delete--Cocaine, think "you are all that" for one hour, at work and at home
--Heroin, relax, sleep, run to the crapper, go find 10.00 usd or mug someone for it and score, no time to find a rewarding job, end up killing for a next dose, but get the runs all day
--Crack, 2.00 usd per burn, repeat every 10 minutes, smell like shit, run to the crappr, repeat dose until you run outta money, mug someone for the next day's doses...
--Why do drugs, and vices that you can not support, and drive you to hook everybody in your family and friends, just to support your crapppy ass vice?
And then you are bitching about legality to deal with impunity...not!!!
Krokodil, so good it does not matter if it eats it's fans from the inside until they are left with just the living bare bones, cheap, easy to make, kills you in about 2 years, what is not to like? Then there are the bath salts...natgeo/drugs inc...
DeleteHagigat, israeli designer's drugs,
--China provided codeine precursors of designers drugs and meth, much cheaper than opiates, but whatever the customer wants, China still obliges after more than 300 years in the business, that is how england, a country without mining, cattle, agro or oilgets to be so rich, mining other countries for their all...
Is alwyas the cheap crap they bust. That devil weed, that shouldn't be even called marihuana. It should be called garbage. Cannabis is the real marihuana not that shiet'
ReplyDeletehaha I know. I really dont know anyone who would buy that weed from mexico. White people grow the best weed
DeleteObviously someone moves that "cheap crap" for somebody that obviously know what they want...
Delete--high brow elite aristocraps would not know other than their steroids and GMO altered states...
I smoke Mexican weed but its only Acapulco Gold. The rest is garbage.
DeleteOtis,
ReplyDeleteAre you saying the CJNG is making more money than the Sinaloa Cartel?
They just get caught more often, they are not approved for business or have a license to kill from the people "that matter", but el mugueladas is said to have paid about 70 million dollars for his, to the COMPAÑIA...
Delete--it may be true, the competition has been cleaned out...
There have been several reports in the press to that effect. Do I know that for certain? no its all speculation unless you work for the Dept of the Treasury.
DeleteI would say almost 100% that CJNG ships more meth to USA than Sinaloa does. Is Meth worth many times what marijuana is pound for pound? also yes.
Sinaloa cornered the heroin market in the US since WW2, and they ship a lot of cocaine, which is all worth more than meth per kilo. So based on logic, no CJNG don't earn more per year than Sinaloa. But earning more per year and being the richest cartel are two different things.
To quantify a persons worth you would have to take into account all of their assets, including property and businesses. I think the Sinaloa setup is well known and studied, CJNG less so as they have only existed for a fraction of the time that Sinaloa has.
I think that mencho operating with Los Cuinis, are similar to Mayo, and less like Chapo. Not courting publicity when it doesn't serve the cartel.
I think who has most money is a fluid situation depending on what businesses have been targeted by USA sanctions.
otis is respect your reporting a whole lot. trust me. you do a great job.
Deletebut honestly i dont think that cjng ships more meth to the US..
the Sinaloa Cartel has their own recipe for meth. and from everything i have ever read or heard about its the sinaloa cartel that dominates everything in the US market. and as far as cjng making more money than the sinaloa cartel that could be true. only because cjng dominates the european market.. and with the european market comes far less intercepted drug shipments/cash shipments ect.. its like a 99% chance the load wont be intercepted.. whereas in the US market that the sinaloa cartel dominates they have a lot higher rate of drug shipments/cash shipments getting intercepted.. so yeah thats probley why the cjng probley makes and has more money than the sinaloa cartel.. but also like otis said you never really can know for sure.. and if i had to bet who makes more money i would have to lean towards the Sinaloa Cartel..
Sinaloa has Los Angeles Los callejones and pa Vegas they supply all the blacks with Coke to make crack Sinaloa filled Eastcoast streets wit heroin Chicago with lots of Coke and the west mid west is just straight crystal meth the marijuana stops at the border of Canada and US then it head to Alaska where everything triples up I know this because I know a few transporters for people in Mexicali and Tijuana mayos people is out and probably moving more than ever
DeleteThanks, that explains these very complicated things with thinking I can understand.
DeleteKickbacks to rogue agents do not move through regular banking Channels, that is one of the problems that help all kinds of sociopaths and psycho bills to carry on with screwing the peoples.
Delete--We still do not know how much MONEY THE IRANI GOVERNMENT PAID TO ISRAEL FOR THE AMERICAN WEAPONS property of the US government or what became of said money, it did not go to the contras, that's for sure
--Iran had no money, so it had to have paid with oil, sold in the
blackmarkets in high seas, at very cheap prices (Marc Rich had to be presidential pardoned by clinton at the past minute for some of it) but there is no way anybody can prove any of it, there are the suspicious unexplainable fortunes of those involved, their peaceful enjoyment and our suspicions that there must be something there generating all that smell, the US treasury is selective and self censoring
9:47 PM, True.
DeleteChivis!!!
ReplyDeleteCan someone tell me what is the Beef between Damaso people and los Antrax ? Did Damaso and Chino antrax get along ?
Chino anthrax never liked mini lic
Deletealso damaso has no respect for the mayos sons.
Deletenone of them.
Why not what was there Beef ?
DeleteRumors are that mini lic invited chino and all his people to a party and stuff got outta hand and guns were pulled....
DeleteLol someone is paying taxes to pass there loads
ReplyDeleteChivis Martinez, for some strange no particular reason I just wanted to write your name...
ReplyDeleteChivis martinez ain't even her name, and it's a 20yr old kid from laredo, tx dude just so you know, wanna - be computer worm lol.
DeleteCheers chivis. 🍻
11:22 Yeh, i'm a jealous, too, i's gonna buy me a black carpet bib too and a water pistol to at least show how much I try to look half muy macho...naaah...
DeleteNice to meet blo'...
What ever happened to buzzkill?
ReplyDeleteTalkn bout the tacuachon --Millie the conspirator? ..... lol !
DeleteThe reason marijuana is still shipped is because they are growing the kush strainsbfor the dispenseries as well. Why do u think there hasnt been a war or all out assult on these dispenseries. You think the son of the biggest supplier of marijuana in the world would buy from a competitor? Stop all the bullshit about mexican weed sucks...its all from mexico if its smoked in the us. Yes its native to afganistan. Its bred in california. But its grown in mexico. Cultivated. Cut. Then shipped from mexico. Into those floresant blue or clear green pill bottles here in costa mesa.
ReplyDelete"It's all from Mexico". ..? Just plain wrong, lay off the bong.
DeleteYou are out of your mind. 90% of the marijuana smoked in OC and LA county are grown in OC and LA county. I used to grow for years, as did many friends. We feed the dispensaries. There's no reason to grow in Mexico - its 100% legal here!
DeleteI beg to differ. You cant drive a quarter mile in rural Northern California right now without smelling it.
DeleteLMAO. I cannot stop laughing re: this fantasy about 'trainwreck' having it's roots in Afganistan. Take a trip to Canada and see where much of the bud comes from.
ReplyDelete@11:30AM--Fuckin' A right, eh? Cheers.
DeleteI haven't smoked mexican weed in 10 years, it's not all from mexico. I get California and Oregon grown anytime I want. It is way better than that nasty tasting mexican dirt weed.
ReplyDeletecdj's drugs got busted
ReplyDeleteholy mole !!! who where why ?? O..thats right Americans are potheads . cokeheads. methheads.crackheads. keep the wheels turnin
ReplyDeleteKush doesnt come from mexico, its grown in cali,oregon, Washington, AZ, Colorado and sent via courier services all over the US
ReplyDeleteReal Kush is Afghani, tho super scarce, you can SOMETIMES find it in Scandinavia or a few cities in Europe if you know whom to ask. What's marketed as Kush in the Americas is high-test, expensive, but not the same. Think 1970's Thai weed X 10 with lucid highs lasting for 12-14 hours, that's Afghani Kush. American Kush is a 2-3 hours' buzz, max. Weed's weed--grow your own!
DeleteGot cousin in cosala, Sinaloa and he says the past few days there has been a bunch of gun fights with la marina and armed groups including 3 type of aircrafts of la marina being brought down... Any reports?
ReplyDeleteHarvests coming down from lago comedero
Delete¡Que pelicula! Operation Get Shorty lll
DeleteHas anyone heard about the shootout around las milpas Durango its near cosala Sinaloa...people are saying the guachos went after chapo and all hell broke loose 2 choppers got dropped and a lot of casualties on both sides...this happened yesterday
ReplyDeleteCome on people, these are no drug busts.....they put this out there to demonstrate to the USA that the money we send over there is being well spent.....lmao the mexican govt. Been fucking ours for the longest....the sinaloa will always be richer...heroin surpasses any profit margin meth or coke could ever bring.....one key of pure heroin brings seven kilos cut to streets sales and cut is mandatory or you kill your customers....did youll notice the high number on heroin seizures.....none...
ReplyDeleteIt can also be worst profit margin if confiscated because it requires many hectares de poppy to make heroina and requires many hours to achieve enough gum to create a kilo de heroina. Very high risk to investment and is why carried in small quantities compared to other contraband you say
DeleteYou guys ever think maybe they send purposely the bad shit over to get busted that way it can be a decoy for all the good shit to get crossed over?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if the marijuana grown in Sinaloa is quite a bit better than any of the other weed grown in all other parts of Mexico? I heard that the weed grown in the Sinaloan mountains is the best as far as Mexican weed goes?
ReplyDeleteWhy do they even bother seizing weed anymore hey I am in Canada we are about to elect a new Prime Minister next month who is going to legalize it just like some US states already. I am on my way to Mexico on Saturday when I get there I am smoking a big fat joint
ReplyDeleteIt is NOT legal until the laws are approved, the licences are approved and PAID FOR,
Deletethe dispensaries must be clean and licensed too, the doctors need their licences and be approved too, at the end, there will be no customers for the "real expensive mota"
You must be a Liberal voting for pretty boy Justin Trudeau.His father was Prime Minister in the 70s.
DeleteTrudeau is the best you got on offer, Canadiana! Elizabeth May's the smartest candidate of the party leaders, but the Greens tend to do poorly in Canada. Your Harperites and Canada's NDP can't cut it this time around, either. Mind you, the Ontario Liberals are complete arsewholes, but the Federal Libs do have some useful talents that Canadians could do well by. Pierre Elliott Trudeau was one of the handful of statesman the 20th century produced. Pierre Trudeau is the father of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which much to the House of Windsor's disgust, gave Canada the legal rights to legislate its own laws. Prior to, proposed Canadian laws had to get approved by British parliament before these could take effect. Justin speaks, thinks and writes in both of Canada's official languages--his español aint castellano, but he is a fluent speaker. He won't fuck up.
DeletePierre Trudeau is said to have enjoyed smoking hash from time to time, as well as an occasional pot cookie.
DeleteIts all about chiwas kush. Thats the good shit in Juarez floating right now!!!
ReplyDeleteIN SOME OTHER NEWS from the south...... Jaime Rodriguez Calderon alias "el bronco ratero" & associates is stealing away Nuevo Leons future milliones de pesetas at a time.

So there's this story in Atlanta that some black from a certain project hit a lick on some cartel affiliated mexicans for a million dollars worth of product. Does anyone know if there's any truth to this?
ReplyDeletewho knows but best believe if this true and they find out who it was they will be dealt with mexico style
Delete4:35 AM, "Hit a lick" means they jacked the product, with the plan being to sell it back to who it was stolen from?? Or, hit a lick is short hand for "busted," or causing a fatality?? It's a new one for me, sorry!
DeleteHit a lick means it was just jacked
DeleteThanks, 10:53 AM! :-) Much appreciated, I really didn't have a clue.
DeleteHey fedex me a few bales of that mx "garbage" weed and I will happily give you an evaluation of it's quality!
ReplyDelete5:17 AM, "One man's garbage is another man's treasure!" (It can't be that awful, Mexico's barreto biz seems to have raked in millions by the limo load from its so called "garage" pot. If, memory serves, the bragging rights to "seedless," sin semilla belong to a couple of hermanos out of Sinaloa, Mexico...).
DeleteYou must be new alot of weed is grown in california by many mexicans asians whites its all business
ReplyDeletemajority whites though
Delete8:38 the best weed is from la Sierra de chihuahua!
ReplyDeletei thought my papayas tasted funny the other day.
ReplyDeleteI don't get why CDS don't just swap all their weed crops in La Sierra for more opium so then they can make more profit by selling heroin. Is the processing of opium into heroin very expensive?
ReplyDeleteChina and Afghanistan ship it all ready to market, why beat around the bush?
DeleteIn mexico there is a little, all for show to blame all of mexico for all of it...
The pushers just have to cut it to dumbed down grams.
Why don't people buy their prescription pain meds in mexico and bring them to the US like they do every other drug? I mean even though they ship heroin north its still a huge market in the US for pain meds.. Are they hard to get in mexico or expensive or something??
ReplyDelete
