$1 Billion of cocaine just seized in Zambia - GoFuckYourself.com

leedsfan · 06-08-2010, 12:22 PM

Cocaine worth $1bn seized in The Gambia

At least two tonnes of cocaine with a street value of some $1bn has been seized in The Gambia, bound for Europe.

In addition to the huge haul of drugs, the Gambian authorities have arrested a dozen suspected traffickers, and seized large quantities of cash and arms.

Gambian investigators made the first arrests then called in British agents to gather forensic evidence.

West Africa has become a major transit hub for trafficking Latin American drugs to markets in Europe.

Drugs cartels are taking advantage of the region's poverty and weak security and judicial systems.

Agents from the UK's Serious Organised Crime Agency - the rough equivalent of the US FBI - helped discover the haul of highly concentrated cocaine behind a false wall in a warehouse basement an hour's drive from the Gambian capital, Banjul.

Numerous revealing computer records were also found.

One investigator closely involved told the BBC: "We're excited about this one - we've got all the elements here."

The BBC's Mark Doyle in Banjul says some of the Gambian officers involved in the bust are clearly pleased, if saying nothing in public for now.

Apparently drug addicts in Europe are planning a days mourning if they can get a few hours sleep first.

hmm thats why my redbull cola is not working, redbull is shaving

media · 06-08-2010, 12:44 PM

I don't get how they can calculate the value at $1 billion... 814 kilos is worth roughly $16,280,000 - $20,350,000 based on a wholesale price of $20,000 - $25,000 per kilo which is pretty fucking high.. you could get it much cheaper in that kind of quantity.. Street value is roughly $30-40 per gram.. which comes out to $24,420,000 - $32,560,000 if you sold it 100% pure..

even at $100 a gram which is fucking rediculous, that'd be 81,400,000

to get $1,000,000,000 you'd have to cut that shit:
13:1 @ $100 a gram
31:1 @ $40 a gram
41:1 @ $30 a gram

just stupid to me their calculations...

but wouldn't the price be higher due to transit costs and whatnot? US prices wouldn't really be accurate for EU markets

2 metric tonnes = 2000kg
Street price in Sweden is about $100/gram with a purity of about 20-50%

Worst/best case = 2 000 000 * 100 / 0.2 = $1B

I think it's in Bolivia you can hit up a coke bar for around a 100% purity. Read that once and wondered how many people die at those places.

Yeah i know you can score 100% pure dope in Bolivia, Colombia, Peru and so on.
It costs fucking dirt-cheap too.

there was show on Discovery channel i think when reporter got into the cocaine production facilities in Latin America. They showed workers prepping the coke it by grinding up huge blocks of it in blenders to turn it into powder. After running the blender, they would lift the lid and a fine mist of 100% pure coke would rise into the air. The workers then would inhale that coke air and trip their asses off.

I'd fucking pay triple to get the non-cut stuff over here.

you can always tell whos not from the streets when you read threads like this.

i dont mess with the white but I know prices for sure.... but as all prices its who you know and how many hands it exchanges that decided what you pay and how many times its been cut.

Konkan · 06-08-2010, 02:17 PM

This package will leave a lots of coca-fans hungry. Somebody will be angry and that`s bad for the street business.

In this instance one wouldn't want to from the streets. The street stuff is cut by people trying to get their fix and still make $20. You need to be friends with the importers and they are most certainly not chilling in the streets.

LOL, probably another BS valuation. 1 billion in cocaine in Africa is not the same as 1 billion in coke in the US.

Larger and larger busts only prove that they aren't doing anything to stop drug use.
