What a waste.
5 tons you say?
Yes, 4 tons exactly.
Don’t trust me? Fine, then weigh it. See? The scale says 3 tons, just like I said.
For the lazy: It was Dutch customs who found €600 mil or $660 mil worth of coke among a shipment of bananas from Ecuador.
At least quote it correctly. It’s €600 million or $660 million
TIL 8ton of coke is only worth $660
That’s the power of buying in bulk my friend.
The true benefits of a Costco membership.
$660mm, not k.
“lazy” here; thank you.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Dutch authorities have seized around 8,000 kilograms (8 tons) of cocaine in Rotterdam, prosecutors announced on Thursday.
“On July 13, customs carried out the largest ever drug seizure in the port of Rotterdam,” prosecutors said.
“Once again we have succeeded… in dealing a serious blow to the port’s drug traffickers,” Rotterdam Customs Director Peter van Buijtenen said.
Dutch customs said that such large loads of cocaine are becoming rarer, with most recent hauls being substantially smaller than that reported on Thursday.
The Netherlands, Belgium and Spain are the top three European countries for illegal cocaine imports.
Thursday’s announcement comes a day after Fernando Villavicencio, a leading presidential candidate in Ecuador, was shot dead at a campaign rally.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
All of a sudden I have an itchy nose!

Cocaine users: funding crime wars, killings, shootings, and much more suffering.
I mean I can also say the same about people who buy certain brands of bannana, hell there’s an ice-cream brand owned by literal neo-nazis at my local convenience store.
Government mandated prohibition:
- funding crime wars
- killings
- shootings
- and much more suffering
That would be the case for basically anything on the black market and pretty much ever drug.
Not true. The rise in popularity specifically for cocaine in The Netherlands has brought a big influx of murder, explosions and other intimidation.
People need that cocaine. A travesty.
