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 that place their products in the U.S.
Zapravo su uspjeli zadržati pristup profitabilnim rutama droge, no način na koji to rade, jer kontroliraju cijeli Michoacan i kontroliraju luku Lazara Cardenasa, je da izjednačuju, recimo, trgovinu bakra iz Michoacana  koji je legalno stvoren i legalno vađen s ilegalnim efedrinom iz Kine koji je ključan za metamfetamine koje proizvode i onda imaju partnerstva s većim organizacijama  poput Sinaloa federacije koja dostavlja njihove proizvode u SAD.
