    At £380,000 starting price, I have doubts on whether illegal gold miners have the money for that. If they had £380,000 they’d probably be able to bribe their way into legitimacy and still have some money left over.

      Depends on who is funding them, and how expansive their operations are. Drug Cartels have been caught using these already. Theyre hardly a controlled product.

        Do you have a link? I didn’t find anything to support this when I searched. It sounds far fetched.

        I’m pretty sure you could rent them for the rest of your life if you aren’t careful.
