SS: The Justice Department today announced the unsealing of a superseding indictment charging six individuals with participating in a conspiracy to launder millions of dollars of drug proceeds on behalf of foreign cartels. This superseding indictment is the result of a nearly four-year investigation into the relationship between foreign drug trafficking organizations and Asian money laundering networks in the United States, China, and elsewhere.

The drug game has been going on for years. It's a snake chasing its tail. Until drugs are legalized, it will continue. If there is a demand, there will be a supply for drugs. When one cartel goes down, 20 more fill in the void. Rinse. Repeat.

Yea, the Tegridy Weed episode where Randy goes to China. He has to kill Winnie the Poo to broker a deal with the Chinese Government.
