      I don’t know anything and can’t prove anything, but it sure is easy for me to imagine that DEA officials who would be willing to help that along by shutting down manufacturers who didn’t play by this cartel’s rules would make a lot of wealthy friends who would be motivated to take care of those officials somehow

        If the OOS material is raw API (Active pharmaceutical ingredient) it’s regulated by the UN and DEA iirc called Quota. They can 100% control it.
