    I didn't believe the China/cartel bit for a min honestly. That reads like someone throwing random conspiracy theories against the wall and seeing what sticks.

      Yeah, fent is a synthetic opioid, typically manufactured for medical use. Cartels traffic in plant derivatives, which only require land rather than... you know, a whole pharmaceutical laboratory. I think it's far more likely to be distributed by some official manufacturer with a McKinsy consultant.
