Summary
The Colombian navy intercepted a semi-submersible carrying cocaine in the Pacific, uncovering a new smuggling route to Australia.
The vessel, capable of traveling thousands of miles without refueling, was part of a lucrative operation targeting Australia, where cocaine fetches six times the U.S. price.
This was the third such vessel seized, with maps confirming the route.
The operation, part of the multinational “Orion” initiative, seized 225 tonnes of cocaine and arrested over 400 people globally.
Colombian authorities highlighted links between South American and Oceanian crime networks.
I think that math is fucked. Coke in the US is like 60-100 per gram, no way someone is paying 360-600 per gram in Australia.
Probably messed up the dollarydoo conversions.
Idk anything about foreign coke prices but to play devils advocate, the US is ridiculously easy to get coke into from a logistics stand point. I agree both estimate ranges must be high but there is only so low the price could go to make it worth selling. I mean the cost to traverse across the fucking pacific compared to hoping across the gulf or digging a tunnel would have to be more than a 6x’s difference.
90-100 here and everywhere I go. Been ripped off twice. It’s not worth it.
Lol and where the fuck is here and everywhere you go?!?
Default US as always buddy.
