The Mexican feds are affiliated with the Sinaloa cartel. Army, gov and the US and CIA are in bed with them. They're basically the designated preferred cartel because they've hit a truce in a sense, because it's easier to have one semi-controlled opposition and go after the others than pulling a free for all. The prevailing theory is that the Mexican and US govs basically ignore them as they hack apart the others, and they can utilize them to go after certain people while keeping their own hands clean of the matter. This is basically an open secret. You still will get your shit kicked in for pulling sketchy shit in Mexico most of the time. I don't think Americans understand how Mexican corruption works. It's closer to a very brutal form of upper tier political corruption you see in developed nations like how the Italian mafia worked in the later phases of it's heyday than just &quot;me sell stolen guns to drug gang for several hundred dollar, ik ook grug.&quot; That type of shit is easy to track, hence why it was fucking moronic that Heckler and Koch thought they would get away with it. <|endoftext|>
