nytimes.com: How a Mexican Drug Cartel Makes Its Billions #

fazsinierende geschichte über die mexikanischen drogenkartelle:

There's a reason coke and heroin cost so much more on the street than at the farm gate: you're not paying for the drugs; you're compensating everyone along the distribution chain for the risks they assumed in getting them to you. Smugglers often negotiate, in actuarial detail, about who will be held liable in the event of lost inventory. After a bust, arrested traffickers have been known to demand a receipt from authorities, so that they can prove the loss was not because of their own negligence (which would mean they might have to pay for it) or their own thievery (which would mean they might have to die). Some Colombian cartels have actually offered insurance policies on narcotics, as a safeguard against loss or seizure.

It's not just the federales that the narcos fear; it's also one another. The brutal opportunism of the underworld economy means that most partnerships are temporary, and treachery abounds. For decades, Chapo worked closely with his childhood friend Arturo Beltrán Leyva, a fearsome trafficker who ran a profitable subsidiary of Sinaloa. But in 2008, the two men split, then went to war, and Beltrán Leyva's assassins were later blamed for murdering one of Chapo's sons. To reduce the likelihood of clashes like these, the cartel has revived an unlikely custom: the ancient art of dynastic marriage.

eigentlich eine geschichte für die brandeins: unternehmertum at it's best. oder so.

interessant auch wie künftig unter dem leistungsschutzrecht mit interviews umgegangen werden könnte; interviewt eine zeitung jemanden, könnte es illegal/lizenzpflichtig sein, als interviewter darauf hinzuweisen.
