Contribution by Hank Gonzalez, the only Mexican union president and PRI activist to ever amass tens of billions of dollars (by exceptional personal virtues and abilities and his meritorious efforts on behalf of the Mexican people, by his account.) From Wikipedia: According to a report by the U.S. National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) nicknamed Operation White Tiger, he -and now his two sons- are so involved in drug trafficking and money laundering that they "pose a significant criminal threat to the United States." While U.S. law enforcement officials spent years investigating Carlos Hank Gonzalez and his sons Carlos Hank Rhon and Jorge Hank Rhon, the assessment by several agencies marked the first time that all three were linked directly to the operations of major Mexican drug organizations", but the report was later contradicted by Democratic Attorney General Janet Reno after intense political pressure [230].
