Whose money is at the dead-drop? The article says that it is one of Gus's men that is collecting the money, implying that there is a payment to Gus, but who is paying Gus? Shouldn't he be paying the Salamancas with the profit from selling their drugs? Indigodelta (talk) 06:08, April 27, 2020 (UTC)
- Gus isn't selling Salamanca drugs, he's selling cartel drugs. Gus receives cartel drugs for both distribution entities. The money that's being deposited is from Gus's distribution network, his dealers. Sinequanone (talk) 07:34, April 27, 2020 (UTC)
Thanks, but who is the other distribution entity other than tyhe Salamancas? Indigodelta (talk) 13:26, June 27, 2020 (UTC)
I think you got things mixed up. Gus is Bolsa's distributor and Tuco was Hector's. After Tuco's arrest, Hector went to Albuquerque to replace him personally. The cartel sent drugs from Mexico to Gus and to Hector, they would sell them in their respective territories and send the money right back to the cartel. The dead drops are from Gus' side of the operation, that was the way he collected money from his dealers, they left them at the dead drops and then one of Gus' guys would collect it. As for Hector, he had that weird thing of having the dealers go to the Mexican restaurant deliver the money to them personally, with Nacho counting the money to make sure there's not a single dollar missing. While Gus used his Los Pollos Hermanos trucks to transport drugs and money from/to Mexico, Hector used his ice cream shop trucks. When Mike screwed Hector's ice cream shop over, Hector lost his means of transportation, so he forced Gus to transport the Salamanca's part of the drugs as well, so from that point on, Gus was forced to bring double the amount of cartel drugs from Mexico and split it with Hector, and as we've seen, Hector would constantly order his men to be pushy and get a larger quantity instead of 50/50 as was agreed on. Anyways, when Sinequanone said that Gus receives cartel drugs for both distribution networks, he meant both Gus' and Hector's. The Grim Botches Edits (talk) 15:03, June 27, 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you The Grim Botches. Yes, I did get things mixed up as I couldn't give it the attention it deserved, but your explanation has cleared things up now. Thanks. Indigodelta (talk) 16:05, June 27, 2020 (UTC)
