So many dead. So many taken hostage. Seven prisons in the equatorial country have turned into fortified bases for organized crime, which is battling the legitimate government for control of the country. The shit started at Guayaquil when one of the most powerful narcotics bosses, Jose Adolfo Macias, aka "Fito", escaped. Riots in response erupted at five more prisons, sending security forces into terror. The feeble government called in the military to retake the prisons, but Ecuador still has a problem. What is the source of the mafia's money and power? It may surprise you to find out that it is you.
