There might be a sweet spot where the payoff is large but the notority is low (think about one criminal organization going after the other).

Unless there are street fights, people will not care that much.

Or perhaps political opponents in unstable countries.

On the government side the USs reach is far and criminals are not always willing (or able) to go beyond it. Maybe coordinating with China won't happen, but let's say Japan, mexico and 2 EU countries is not out of the ordinary.

There are busts happening almost every year on that scale
