They have actually retained access to the profitable drug trade, but the way they do it is, because they control all of Michoacán, and they control the Port of Lázaro Cárdenas, they leverage that to, for example, trade copper from Michoacán that is legally created and legally extracted with illegal ephedrine from China which is a critical precursor for methamphetamines that they produce, and then they have partnerships with larger organizations like the Sinaloa Federation
Au acces la piaţa profitabilă a drogurilor, dar modul în care fac asta, deoarece controlează întregul Michoacán, şi controlează portul Lázaro Cárdenas, îl folosesc ca avantaj, de exemplu, pentru a comercializa cupru de la Michoacán, creat legal şi extras legal cu efedrină ilegală din China, un precursor critic al metamfetaminelor produse, şi apoi, au parteneriate cu organizaţii mai mari precum Federaţia Sinaloa
