$207 million cash seizure biggest in Mexican history
MEXICO CITY – A week ago, Zhenli Ye Gon was the toast of the Mexican media.

Tuesday, Ye Gon was in a U.S.
courtroom, having been captured hours earlier at an Asian restaurant in suburban Washington by U.S. agents who traced his cell phone. And Calderon was claiming victory in what was said to be the largest drug-cash seizure in the country’s history.
