      The powered chemical precursor which allowed all this fent to be produced was engineered by a Chinese biopharma company, who then sells it to south American cartels who synthesize the fent there and then move it up into the US.

        When they produce it in Mexico and move it to the US, it is just because production costs in the US are too high.
