depict $207 million found during a police raid at a drug-dealers residence in Mexico. Although the vast amount of cash shown in the images may seem almost unbelievable, the photographs are genuine. According to a \u00a0<a class=\"norm\" title=\"Two Hundred and Seven Million in Drug Money Seized in Mexico City\" href=\"http:\/\/www.usdoj.gov\/dea\/pubs\/pressrel\/pr032007.html\">March 2007 press release<\/a> \u00a0on the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) website, the horde of cash was indeed seized in Mexico:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i>MAR 20 &#8212; $207 million is the largest single drug cash seizure the world has ever seen. This is like law enforcement hitting the ultimate jackpot. But luck had nothing to do with this windfall. This record-setting feat was the result of tremendous police work by Mexican law enforcement in collaboration with DEA throughout the past year.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>This money was seized from chemical brokers that were supplying chemicals to Mexican cartels to manufacture huge quantities of methamphetamine\u00e2\u20ac\u201dmost destined for the United States. The citizens of Mexico and America should be encouraged because seizing this criminal organization&#8217;s revenue not only operationally and financially disrupts that organization but also cuts off the supply of a vital ingredient needed to make methamphetamine.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"norm\" title=\"Read complete DEA press release\" href=\"http:\/\/www.usdoj.gov\/dea\/pubs\/pressrel\/pr032007.html\">Read complete DEA press release<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to a March 2007 International Herald Tribune \u00a0<a class=\"norm\" title=\"Mexico: World's largest drug cash seizure is larger than originally announced\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20070630225033\/http:\/\/www.iht.com\/articles\/ap\/2007\/03\/22\/america\/LA-GEN-Mexico-Drug-Money.php\">article<\/a>, 205.6 million of the stash was in U.S. dollars with the remainder in euros and pesos. The raid centred on a residence in Lomas de Chapultepec, a wealthy neighbourhood in Mexico City. As well as the cash, law enforcement agents also seized guns, luxury vehicles and drug-making equipment.<\/p>\n<p>In a rather strange twist, \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/advance-fee-scams\/\">advance fee scammers<\/a> \u00a0regular use the images in their scam messages as a way of enticing victims into participating in their nefarious schemes.
