I dont know if you have seen the news story about the 'big' coke importer who was making crack and selling it on, supposedly making £170m in the process.
The amounts involved arent really that high, he is supposed to have imported about 1/2 tonne over the course of the years he was operating.
But what was interesting was that he was importing in bulk and selling in small amounts, a practice which I always thought was unheard of. In this case the police estimates of street value might actually be somewhat close to what he was making.
Heres a quote;
"On 21 March, police raided a flat in Clapham, south London, where they found a working crack factory and seized a holdall containing 24lb of drugs with a potential street value of more than £1m.
The haul, which was divided and packaged ready for 56,400 individual deals, was the largest single seizure of crack cocaine ever made in the UK."
Heres the BBC story;
