U.S. Seizes 30,000 Pounds of Cocaine
 

ok,,,lets do some simple math

28.47 grams in an ounce, 16 ounce = 1 pound.

28.47 * 16 = 455.52 grams in a pound.

455.52 * 30,000 pounds = 13,665,600 grams

say the street value is $75 gram

13,665,600 * $75 = $1,024,920,000

1 Billion Dollars, WOW!

... bush will get his share, no doubt.

"In the last year, the Coast Guard has seized a record 240,518 pounds of cocaine, worth about $7.7 billion, officials said. Much of that is in the Caribbean, but authorities say there is also a thriving drug trade on the Pacific coast of the Americas. "

Fred you add like a prosecutor..lol

On a big ammount like that the street value falls to about 20$-$25 a gram. The officials however figure out the value by multiplying what a "gram" would go for at street value. Thus making there bust seem so much more substantial to the public.

30,000 lbs...crazyness

... rumors say that the taliban was taken out of power because they ran the afghan heroin market, guess who runs that show now?

holy fuck that is a ton of coca :eek2

30,000 pounds?
did they bust a webmaster convention or something?

Sure,,that is true,,,but you must also consider that 99 out of 100 times,,,speed and other shit is cut up with it.

Americans spend $100 BILLION a year on cocaine.

Porn ~ $10 BILLION

And that is why the Arellino felix cartel are the richest people in the world.

True, but you have to weigh in the factor that this is UNCUT.. so if street value falls to $20-25 a gram, your overall weight should triple.
