    I remember when a business jet packed to the gills with cocaine crashed and when they investigated, it turned out to be owned by a CIA shell company and previously used to shuttle people to Guantanamo for torture after an extraordinary rendition

      I thought no fucking way they found over 7000lb of cocaine on a little business jet but yeah, that Gulfstream could probably barely take off with that much on board. That’s one badass airframe.

        Maximum payload is 1.5t but the fuel payload is 12t so 3t of cocaine barely scratches it

        You don’t have to move fent. You can make it locally. The fent is usually mixed with other drugs, a little bit of cocaine could be laced with a whole lot of fent and then sold as pure cocaine to maximize profit.

      Some drug traffickers use existing brands to “market” themselves.

      Here’s some Afghan heroin seized and destroyed by the international coalition on the Arabian Sea in 2021:

        I was about to say, who would ever brand their cocaine, whether it was actually SpaceX or some random cartel? I would get the “brand identification” argument at the end user stage, but marking your bulk shipment of drugs just seems dumb.
