  1. The 9 other 1 tonne shipments would’ve made it in and there’s more on the way.

  2. They were doomed the moment they paid $500k cash for the boat. The seller would have to declare any cash transaction above $10k in the process of having the registration, title etc transferred and depositing the funds into their bank.

  3. Forensic specialists are currently examining the cocaine and will be conducting further testing…..

    Snoooooort ! Wooooo ! wait… I’m not sure. I’ll run some more tests.

    Snnnooooorrrtttt !

  4. It’s only worth that much because it’s illegal.

    WHY is it illegal?

  5. Where exactly is this cocaine and don’t bother following me

  6. The price has really skyrocketed since I was in school

  7. *Another* one?? 😂

    The property developer/investment banker community are going to be having a bit of a lacklustre weekend

  8. You sure this wasn’t entering the US from Canada or Mexico?

  9. Haha! Jokes on them! This was the decoy load! The real load slipped past ’em while they were congratulating themselves in front of the media for this!

  10. Should have rugged a little charge on the boat. When they saw the cops. Jump off and set the charge.

    Boat sinks 200m deep water with no evidence left….and cops right there to rescue you!

  11. Unless my maths/ conversions are wrong that’s $500 a gram.

  12. That’s a lot of coke for such a small population. You guys doing alright?!?

  13. As someone who’s mother always said “eat your food, there’s a kid starving in Africa” it’s really hard for me to see all this go to waste whenever this kinda story is in the news

  14. “Cocaine Koala”

    From the producers of “Cocaine Bear”

    “He’s not just climbing trees—he’s climbing the food chain.”

  15. Whoa huge
    What an industry. Why won’t government make it legally taxable

  16. They saved over…are you ready for this reddit?….86,000,000,000,000,000,000 lives!
