Great new article! I like ALT3 best. buidhe 04:55, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Buidhe: Thanks for the review and sorry for the late response. I've been out of town. QPQ is done! Happy holidays. MX (✉ • ✎) 16:25, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
- @MX: The information from ALT3 is not stated in the article (i.e. that the Mexican authorities wanted 50%), any chance you can add that in, as @Buidhe: liked it best? Achaea (talk) 17:25, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Achaea: Hi. It is found written as A few years after his sentence, Mexican officials discussed the possibility of passing a law in Mexico that permits them to formally request the U.S. government for fifty percent of the earnings seized from a Mexican national convicted in the US in order to invest that money into their law enforcement agencies. I didn't write it as "50%" but as "fifty percent". I figured the shorter version was better for a hook. Let me know what you think and how should I amend it. Thanks!
