Cartels are hemorrhaging millions of dollars with traffickers forced to take more risks to move cocaine and cash across the US during coronavirus lockdown
2020-05-26
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • From March 1 to May 8, the amount of cash seized in the Los Angeles area more than doubled from $4.5 million last year to $10 million in 2020

  • Along 2,000 mile US-Mexico border usually bustling with traffic, the vehicles which usually provide cover for the cartels to operate are gone

  • Cocaine prices are up more than 20 percent and the price of meth has doubled

  • With bars and clubs closed across the States, there is also less demand for drugs
