[quote]POLICE have blown open a major cocaine ring worth hundreds of millions of dollars operating out of Sydney Fish Markets, resulting in the arrest of more than a dozen men. The arrests, made during a series of Christmas Day raids, come after a two-and-a-half-year investigation by the NSW Police Drug Squad and Australian Federal Police. The top-secret investigation targeted commercial fishermen who were allegedly using fishing trawler based at Sydney Fish Markets to meet a “mother ship” which moved cocaine from Chile to Australia, The Daily Telegraph reports.[/quote] [quote]About 500kg of cocaine was seized on Christmas night, estimated to be worth $162 million, police said. A further 600kg of cocaine destined for Australia, estimated to be worth about $197 million, was seized in Tahiti.[/quote] [quote]Fifteen men allegedly responsible for the attempted importations have been charged with serious drug importation offences. The men range in age from 29 to 63 years, and have all been refused bail.[/quote] [url]http://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/crime/police-smash-cocaine-ring-at-sydney-fish-market-in-christmas-day-raids/news-story/393b076e0d2a3afb4ed67daaa60c7b6a[/url] 360 fucking million dollars worth.

Damn that sucks for you guys, looks like blow prices in Australia are going to go up in some areas.

I'm surprised that traffickers are still trying here. You hear of these multi-million dollar raids happening once every few months.

[QUOTE=Cinnamonbun;51595556]Damn that sucks for you guys, looks like blow prices in Australia are going to go up in some areas.[/QUOTE] Sounds good to me

[QUOTE=.Vel;51595601]Pay more for drugs causing them to have less money[/QUOTE] Cocaine is really expensive to begin with, why would poor people use cocaine instead of some other cheaper garbage?

[QUOTE=Araknid;51595551] 360 fucking million dollars worth.[/QUOTE] My generous street level calculations put it at 88 million worth of cocaine. No idea where they got their numbers.

[QUOTE=MadPro119;51595682]My generous street level calculations put it at 88 million worth of cocaine. No idea where they got their numbers.[/QUOTE] Are you going off US values? Would probably be different in Australia + AUD instead of USD.

[QUOTE=Araknid;51595691]Are you going off US values? Would probably be different in Australia + AUD instead of USD.[/QUOTE] Good point, everything is more expensive in Australia. [editline]28th December 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=.Vel;51595601]Pay more for drugs causing them to have less money[/QUOTE] Exactly. Legalize cocaine.

[QUOTE=MadPro119;51595695]Good point, everything is more expensive in Australia. [editline]28th December 2016[/editline] Exactly. Legalize cocaine.[/QUOTE] $300 a gram here

if cocaine had stock market in Australia, right now price would rise. [editline]29th December 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=BF;51595564] Yeah, it sucks that cocaine is being taken off of the streets??? Poor druggos, what will they do now?[/QUOTE] Something that is available, probably more dangerous substances.

[QUOTE=Hobo4President;51595721]$300 a gram here[/QUOTE] Holy shit, I'm so sorry.

just make it in the kitchen. whip it

[QUOTE=sYnced;51595891]just make it in the kitchen. whip it[/QUOTE] it's a little known fact that cocaine can actually be created using common everyday household ingredients

Imagine being dumb enough to use cocaine in the first place though.

[QUOTE=Ghost656;51596900]Imagine being dumb enough to use cocaine in the first place though.[/QUOTE] What is so dumb about it?

[QUOTE=Ghost656;51596900]Imagine being dumb enough to use cocaine in the first place though.[/QUOTE] Let me guess, you never have fun, ever.

wasn't aware that there were so many cocaine users in sensationalist headlines

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;51596976]wasn't aware that there were so many cocaine users in sensationalist headlines[/QUOTE] Everything makes sense now

Didn't the international drug survey find that Australians pay more than anyone else for cocaine, and are far more likely to say it wasnt good value for money

[editline]29th December 2016[/editline] Yeah, it sucks that cocaine is being taken off of the streets??? Poor druggos, what will they do now?[/QUOTE] They keep trying because for every ton of cocaine that's seized at the border, there's probably another 10 that make it to the market.

[QUOTE=Blizzerd;51596918]Let me guess, you never have fun, ever.[/QUOTE] Are you seriously implying that only people who do cocaine can ever have fun? Christ.

[QUOTE=paul simon;51597027]Are you seriously implying that only people who do cocaine can ever have fun? Christ.[/QUOTE] No, hes implying the kind of person who is very judgmental about someone's possible substance use probably doesn't have that much fun.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;51596976]wasn't aware that there were so many cocaine users in sensationalist headlines[/QUOTE] And if there were, would that change anything, or are you just implying something about people who use drugs?

[QUOTE=MadPro119;51597030]No, hes implying the kind of person who is very judgmental about someone's possible substance use probably doesn't have that much fun.[/QUOTE] What an extremely baseless assumption.

[QUOTE=paul simon;51597027]Are you seriously implying that only people who do cocaine can ever have fun? Christ.[/QUOTE] No, but you can't admit doing cocaine isn't fun.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;51596976]wasn't aware that there were so many cocaine users in sensationalist headlines[/QUOTE] Well I mean the addicts lounge is a hugely popular thread in GD so are you actually that surprised? [editline]29th December 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=paul simon;51597036]What an extremely baseless assumption.[/QUOTE] Oh, but your assumption had so much base!

[QUOTE=Megadave;51597037]No, but you can't admit doing cocaine isn't fun.[/QUOTE] You can't admit flying into the sun isn't fun. [editline]29th December 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=MadPro119;51597039]Oh, but your assumption had so much base![/QUOTE] Which assumption?

[QUOTE=paul simon;51597044]You can't admit flying into the sun isn't fun.[/QUOTE] Lol okay bud. Nice false equivalency fallacy.

[QUOTE=MadPro119;51597048]Lol okay bud. Nice false equivalency fallacy.[/QUOTE] I've obviously not done cocaine, he's obviously not flown into the sun. How can I "admit" cocaine is fun? The same way he can "admit" flying into the sun is fun. [QUOTE=MadPro119;51597048]Are you seriously implying that only people who do cocaine can ever have fun? Christ.[/QUOTE] Not baseless & posed as a question. Has more to do with the way he wrote that. I don't get his motivation for it.
