Yeah this isn't 30 years ago, these days everyone and their mother buys from Mexicans. It would be more impressive if they bought directly from South America and brought it in themselves, like the RIzzuto's used to do, or like the Ndrangheta or the Kinahans do today(they were also mentioned in that article). Much more profitable that way.

I wonder why the Hells Angels don't try to do that, if they're as big as it's claimed. I know crime writers in Canada made a big deal about the Mexicans "pushing" the Mafia and the bikers out of importing, supposedly that's why they're fighting over gambling, because the Mexicans took over importing. But at the end of the day the Mexicans can't force anyone to buy from them, and the HA control street sales and mid level wholesale AND the ports, so if they brought their loads in from Colombia or Venezuela, how could the Mexicans stop them? I'm assuming just like Mexicans sell to everybody, the South American cartels sell to everybody as well.

This is all interesting stuff, too bad Canada doesn't have many rats so we could get to the bottom of this
