Other mistake: If the cartel's money to be cleaned is from selling drugs then why is it all brand spanking new? In season one he gets it delivered in a van in boxes. When they open them the money is new bills, still in bank wrappers. Why would people buying drugs go to the trouble to going to the bank to get new bills?

Question: Jacob says "as long as we distribute (the heroin) on the water, the cops can't touch us." What does he mean by this? Is he saying they have an agreement with the Sheriff or cops they won't interfere with him on the water? Or is just saying there's not enough cops patrolling the water to catch them? If it's the latter it seems like a poor choice of words since the cops could "touch" them.
