The CJNG as a Criminal Enterprise
In an extensive interview with Infobae México, I explained in detail the CJNG’s digital structure. My central thesis: the cartel is not merely a criminal organization — it is a corporation with singers, agencies, various business structures, and — crucially — troll centers dedicated to propaganda.
“Jalisco is not a cartel, it is a criminal enterprise. It has singers, agencies, various businesses.”

Signal Intelligence Before the Operation
In a second Infobae interview on March 6, I revealed a key finding from my E31 tool: the day before the operation against El Mencho, there was unusual activity on Reddit — a pattern similar to what was detected before the arrest of Ryan Wedding, linked to the Sinaloa Cartel.
This type of pre-event signal — coordinated platform activity before physical events — is one of E31’s core capabilities and one of the most relevant contributions of my work to intelligence journalism in Mexico.
