    well, so when they run a cryptocurrency network it is legal then …

  2. santiago Hernandez on January 7, 2022 at 6:21 am

    It’s pronounced Zet-Tas not Zay tas.

  3. DT on January 7, 2022 at 6:21 am

    A drug cartel can make a more reliable cell network than Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile combined… That’s just sad.

    Is it just me or does this guy make way too many jokes? I just want to know more about the topic but this guys script just ruins it..It pulls you out of the moment and makes for an annoying experience. It’s a shame because the info is actually interesting. He just needs to dial it back imo

    Happy half as aniversary

  22. De'Von Bollinger on January 7, 2022 at 6:50 am

    Someone needs to educate you on the zetas as in the sorority. That was a terrible depiction of what zetas actually stand on and work for. Too many people viewing this and uneducated to make remarks like that even if it was a joke they don’t know. That’s disrespect 💯

  23. Impulse on January 7, 2022 at 6:52 am

    Halcones means hawks lol

  24. ʂ𝓮𝓻𝓰𝓲𝓸 on January 7, 2022 at 6:54 am

  29. manuel montoya on January 7, 2022 at 7:00 am

    Haloncones: literally means falcon or hawk
    Figuratively means lookouts.
    Coyote: figuratively means human traffickers

  30. that_G_EvanP on January 7, 2022 at 7:00 am

    Now I want to know about the beef with Legal Eagle.

  31. Esteban_10YT on January 7, 2022 at 7:02 am

    "Halcones" are Hawks I guess that Halcones is a spanish word not a serbian one

  32. Vincent Gonzalez on January 7, 2022 at 7:02 am

    Alternative title; a society makes a communications network hiding from another society
