16.5 tons.

Is that a lot?

“ 16 tons and whattaya get?”

[RDCanecutter 26420]

So imagine if you could make pavement out of cocaine.

What would be the street value of that?

[Lhorn 4913]

The line you could make would encircle the earth 3 times 

 

Good for them for keeping that shit off the street, but somewhere Zach Smith is gravely disappointed.

Another day older and deeper in debt.  

Oh and high. Way, way high.

Hang on ...

16.5 tons is 528,000 oz.  Which makes 4.224 Million eight oz "doses"

That's $236 for an 8ball.  Maybe they are assuming it will be cut a time or two, but unless I'm missing something  it seems like their billion dollar figure is a bit inflated.

Maybe it's not off at all, I wouldn't know, I've never bought the stuff.

Sales tax, title and dealer’s surcharge?

It's allegedly $300 for a ball of quality product in my local area. Alleged friends on the west coast allegedly say the alleged price is closer to $150 though.

Shouldn’t there have been better risk management from the cocaine dealers?  How you do have that great a quantity all in one place?  You need to hedge that.

My guess is they got much more into that port prior and just rolled the die. The value is x and the cost of cultivating that product is payed for with one small shipment getting through.

I always laugh at these busts though. They bust someone with 50 lbs of weed and their estimated street value is some astronomical number. Same thing in this case.

What Incoterm applies to a deal like this?

That's enough cocaine to keep every SMU sorority girl occupied for about 10 minutes.

32,000 pounds is still a fuck load of cocaine.

8ball was $120 back when my friend partook. He hasn't bought any in 7 or 8 years but thinks $236 would be a pretty good price for something pure. Either way, I think they factor in cutting when stating "street value."

So, I'm gonna guess someone in Mexico may be righteously pissed at someone else in South America.

8 ounces ain't a dose, that's a helluva night.  An eight ball is an eighth of an ounce.

[BTW 370]

The second "h" in eighth didn't make it into that sentence.  But the math is based on 1/8 oz doses not 8oz, sorry for any confusion.

[Texas_Rocks 346]

Must be one hell of an established network to commit to a shipment of that size.

You have to remember that you are really buying 5oz of baking powder and 3oz of cocaine. 

It was probably the inverse in 1984.
