  1. It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of [concerns over privacy and the Open Web](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot).

  5. I wouldn’t class $5000 as a lot of money at the best of times. I definitely wouldn’t class it as a lot of money when attempting smuggling kilos of cocaine across international borders.

  6. Quite an interesting read, seeing the ‘behind the scenes’ of an operation like that.

  7. *Three members of the group were arrested on the spot. Four others were detained in rooms at the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel, opposite the airport. Two were naked in bed when officers burst in.*

    Which two? Were they in the same bed?

    I feel those are important details.

  8. £5,000 each is chump change for that amount of sniff and the heartbreaking part is one of them did it whilst diagnosed with cancer.

    Desperate people doing desperate things, awful exploitation.
