That's a big trash bag, too, to hold 1,750 pounds of cocaine. Maybe the Post writer misunderstood, and it was 25 packages totaling 70 pounds. That would seem to be more in line with a value of $1 million, though I don't really know what cocaine prices are per pound. More than about $570, I'd guess.
That stuff hadn’t been stepped on so worth a lot more...so I’ve read...
Would a heavy trash bag float?
There quote is correct:
“Hurricane Debby blew 25 packages of cocaine (70 lbs.) onto a beach in the Florida Keys,” US Border Patrol acting chief patrol Agent Samuel Briggs II said in a social media post.
Oh hell, WAY more.
