Yea mental. Took the search team something like 8 hours to even find the drugs if I remember correctly.

That's just Crazy, there could be a pretty big party with that amount

For ever one shipment they catch you can bet it's nothing compared to the ones they don't

I've heard they tip off the authorities to certain shipments, so that 9 more can go through undetected.

They do some genius stuff everyday. There's really no stopping a cartel from getting from A to B.

Who wants to bet that all that coke will still end up on the streets?

 

[eridonvevo77]

Of course it will.

Good catch. Lives get ruined by drugs and these mega smugglers help fund evil projects. Drugs weaken the population and pushers of drugs, illegal and legal, are knowingly trying to control our minds.

Wow,512...And traveling from Istanbul to South America,too much effort to get caught like that.

 

[asap1]

They caught 3.2 tons but missed the other 96.8 tons

cocaine worth £512m... Damn they were making serious cash.

Too much cash. Almost impossible to launder that amount. And I believe if you are making large purchases with cash only the Government will come knocking eventually. You give a Ferrari dealer 500k in cash, they try and deposit, bank is required to see where they got the money, they tell them it was you, now you're getting investigated.

So those guys make that much but really end up sitting on it.
