Holy fucking shit. 1.5 tonnes or more apparently. How on earth did the pipsqueak Irish navy manage to nab these guys?

Nicely done... too bad you can't sell that stuff to a nation where it is legal and make a tidy profit off it.  Of course you know, your navy just pissed off someone who has VERY deep pockets.

They always overestimate in these drug busts, media tactic. Still, if it's actually true, quite alot

3/4 of it was probably heading down into central London, specifically the financial areas. As it is they're all already swimming in it, this financial crisis will only increase demand

Yeah sure that's 500bn if coke sells at 333000 euro a gram. Unless my math is very wrong.... Governments are retarded when it comes to over estimating the value of drug busts.

EDIT: They'd have to have found 1000 tonnes ( a kilotonne) for that value, and even that involves over estimating the street price of coke to 50 quid a gram.

EDIT2: Oh shit, forgot it was in euros. Oh well, you get the idea.

Police forces always just multiply the per gram street cost they never figure in the discounts as you go up in weight. Plus that is only a drop in the ocean for the South American cartels.

Read Whitewash by Simon Strong if you really wanna see the kind of weights these guys move about.

Have you actually read it? Where can I get a copy without paying $1000 for it? Ebooks? Link please?

$637,178,278,440.08 on 11-6-08 exchange rates.

Or 6-11-08 for you guys on the other side of the pond.

Wish we had seized it.

We could just give it to the Chinese and call off our debts?

They'll be high as mother fuckers for years, er, wait, there's 1.3 billion Chinese, hmmmm.

Someone do the math and break it down per gram per Chinese, might keep em high for a day?

I make it a bit over 8000 tonnes, based on a street value of 60 Euros a gram.
