So we’ve got a kilo of cocaine, but thats gonna be cut to 4 or 5 times its weight probably, so let’s call that 5kg. Then lets assume each of those 1000 grams is gonna be broken down into 50 20mg single doses, and lets say those addicts are gonna pay 20 bucks for a single dose. Thats $1000 per gram, time 5kg, we’ve got ourselves a nice 5million dollar bust here. Call the papers and print it.
Don’t forget the include the weight of the equipment and other supplies. In reality it was 500g of cocaine and the weight of the suitcase and shoes that were adjacent.
“Then they’re gonna grind up the suitcase, which the action alone is worth at least 13¢ per turn of the grinder. That’s approximately *draws numbers with finger on the table* $62Bajillion, and then they’re gonna sell the suitcase powder to children, which children are worth $10,000, so each life destroyed by “carry-on crack,” that’s the street name… Factor in life insurance, media advertising, and college tuition, that’s EASILY $14Bajillion! Finally, those shoes are gonna be sold on eBay, which Air Jordans are probably worth $5000, so that’s $10000 for the single pair of shoes. And, if you’ll look in the room, everyone is wearing shoes! Which is worth another $1600Bajillion!!! We just took $5761Kajillion of drugs off the streets and saved our taxpayers $54Billion! And all at the mere cost of our $400Million annual budget!”
How data driven are cartels, anyway? Seems like they should be getting stats on loss rate to busts and calculating that in. They run as a business and want real numbers.
They’re a group that builds their own autonomous submarines. They gotta be calculating this.
