Sorry guys, but the party is off.

About $1900 per ounce. I have no idea how accurate that is but could be in the ballpark. Some of these claims make me skeptical but this sounds plausible at least.

Pretty high if you’re buying by the ounce. It’s very high if you’re buying it by the kilo

$1900 an ounce if it’s a by-the-gram extrapolation makes more sense

That would be the street price on the corner.

Stacked out for the buzzards.
Ever seen the photos? Look it up well after breakfast.
 
Funny media pricing to be sure, but still a big pile of coke.
 
They always price it by the lowest level street corner denomination, never wholesale. Even still, if this has to pass 3 more hands before getting to the street it’s still a ~$200M wholesale bust.

If that coke is mostly pure and not cut yet then it would've yielded a lot more product. That may also be factored in.

Lots of stepping on it done before it hits the street

Nearby Walmarts and pharmacies all out of powdered milk for some reason
 
Powdered B12's a good mixer if yer tryin' to keep it 'clean', but there ain't no tellin' what some greedy shitbird will use to cut it. Right at $100/g last I knew & that very heavily stepped on. 17 tons at 952,000g & even at a 30 blow/70 cut mix (typical street shit) is almost 3.2 million grams at $100/g, comes out to $317 mill & some change. I think they're makin' numbers up out of thin air.

It’s not even the biggest seizure in PA? That’s a sad statistic.

Stupid statement. Later they say one of the larger ever in United States history. Maybe we should put the DEA on illegal immigration.
 
There is a dock worker in Philly asking "Did we take any containers off that ship?"

I think your numbers might be a bit wonky.

15500 kg= 34171.651 lbs
1 pound = 453.592 grams

($100 /g)* (453.592 grams/lbs)*(34171.651 lbs) = $1,549,998,752.0392

You could have saved the conversion!

15,500 kg = 15,500,000 grams
($100 /g)* (15,500,000 grams) = $1,550,000,000

The metric system kicks ass.

The area I grew up in in Western PA was where I80 and I79 met and not far from the PA turnpike. They routinely would net multi million dollar busts out of that area. Don't know if it's still true or not but at one-time they estimated that about 50% of all the drugs for the eastern part of the US has passed through that area at one time or another.

Depending on how tight your tinfoil is you could look at this as the biggest game of pea and cup...
Huge drug bust...or just open air delivery to the secondary market.

Back in the early '80's, a friend of my dad's got busted with 7lbs of weed in the trunk of his car. At arraignment, he was charged with possession of 3lbs of marijuana. He asked the judge where the other 4lbs were. Judge dismissed the case & demanded to see the arresting officers & their supervisor in his chambers.
 
I suspect somebody is going to get shanked before they can talk.
Cartels hold the couriers personally responsible for the cargo.

Isotol is the cut of choice these days. A $100 gram would have to be some straight,uncut disco boogie. $40-$60 is more typical.

I don't know the kind of people anymore that could get good blow on the regular. I don't even know people that know those kind of people. 'N that's okay. Don't want those types in my life anymore & blow is NOT a drug I'd want easy access to anyway.

I don't blame you. Nothing good ever comes from it.

I had a buddy tell me it was the best thing he ever tried. He said it was like getting super drunk with no hangover. He used it couple times and made himself stop because it was so good he knew he couldn't afford it long term.
 
Another tinfoil way of looking at it is that this shipment was allowed to be seized. The cartels have to give the other side a win now and again, a la Tom Clancy’s A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER.

Decades ago a friend of my then-boyfriend came in with an attache case full of coke and we did it all over a very short time. It was fantastic, and I never did that stuff again, as I could see the potential for disaster on many, many levels! Lol. Dougie ended up in prison, and I learned a good lesson.
