3. They are using money to buy smaller spaces in less conspicuous places already.

I recently read about a place in a strip mall that was purchased and the first thing they did was to block the front display windows so no one could see what they were doing inside while "renovating" the space.

This move to being clandestine is going to make them even more difficult to track while increasing the pain and effort of the families trying to locate loved ones.

They aren't going away.

They are taking the evil underground.
