What was said
"The Jalisco Cartel estimated maybe 300,000 operators and members of that cartel globally. 300,000? Yep. Bigger than the Department of Homeland Security and by a lot."
The Jalisco Cartel operates with approximately 300,000 members worldwide, exceeding the size of DHS. Moran explained cartels have partnered with Chinese underground economies to launder billions through off-books currency exchanges, effectively bypassing all U.S. financial surveillance systems and establishing Chinese-owned businesses throughout Mexico as fronts.
