    So now the Sinaloa Cartel is forcing tourists driving in from the states to carry large amounts of cash for them, and if their cash doesn't make it though all the checkpoints, they kill you.

    not a good time to come to Mexico especially if you're driving.

    Also the Sinaloa Cartel used to have a rule, just stick to trafficking, they weren't into kidnapping and extortion as much as the other cartels like thew Zetas, but I got word last week from some friends who live in Culiacan: 'that rule is out the window' and they're ramping up kidnapping and extortion.

    No bueno.
