For those who haven't seen them before, these are a video and pictures of a drug money bust in a Mexico City home in March of 2007. The total came to $207 million, as well as 200,000 euros and 157,500 pesos sitting on the floor and hidden in walls, suitcases, and closets. The money came from a large methemphetamine operation in the United States.

That money was supposedly just for cough pills that contain pseudoephedrine. The back story behind that was that the federal agencies in Mexico were tipped off about a big load of pills containnig that chemical in one of their ports. The tip was right and 21 tons of pills wrere found in that boat. That sparked an investigation all the way to the US, because it arrived their first. The DEA was even trying to take some credit for that seizure of money.

The people that tipped them off was a rival of that cartel. The asian guy brought in the pills, and los Valencia would turn it into meth. Los Valencia are part of the Federation. There is a lot more to this story, but there is the basics, later.
