damn and i thought they came that way to here cheaper..lol

lol they calculated it at 20dollars a piece...whoever was buying them 500 000 pills was paying max 1$ a piece...and im speaking big fucking max its probably less...same thing for weed they get a plantation they scale the whole thing without drying it (which would be 3x or 4x times less heavy) and on top of it calculate it at full price...way of making "criminals" look even worse.
fuck em

I dunno what any of it is worth...

damn.. no one is going to get my christmas gifts this year

Damn... :(

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Ia m always saying the same thing
they always set the price higher than it actually would be
I wonder if this so the public won't protest if the cops give them selfs a raise or something to that effect.

I reckon it's so that the cops 'look' better. They're doing their job and protecting the innocents and keeping drugs off the streets!!

Sounds so much better to say you seized drugs worth $9.9million US than say $500,000 US.

It's all about opinion and public manipulation and the government and police (etc) are some of the best manipulators in the world. :2 cents:

Although this article doesn't specifically say, the generally preface the value by saying "It has a street value of ... "

They always do that to make themselves look better and it makes it more news worthy

I scrolled down before repeating what you said. :thumbsup

You're saying that they purposely let most of the drugs through?

These "street values" never end up anywhere near a market value! :1orglaugh

Same with porn raids - I never knew folks paid $500K for 20 boxes of dirty mags.

it appears we have a few ex dealers in our midst. LOL

But it is worth $9.9million on the street. The average Joe would buy it $20 a piece....

Oh, I figured you guys would move.

500,000 pils would cost the dealer o a couple of mill but not 10 mil.

20$/pill is 10 mil. not likely that one dealer will sell 1 pill at a time and 20 bux a pill.

its not 10 mill but id say about 5 mil
