$3b in real money, or cop math?

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Good question.

One source (2023) says

That quantity is estimated to produce about two million grams of cocaine, the publication reported. Today, according to pharmaceutical listings online, that’s worth about US$2 billion

??? That's .. Not right

Bulk value 50 million for 2 million g (2000kg). Going by my (likely now outdated) last known value for a key at around 25k.

They're saying it's 1000$/g?!?

Am I tired or are these numbers just completely bonkers?

I don't care if it's the purest shit, that is insane.

two million grams of cocaine

What a weird way of describing 2000 kg.
