Shark fins, Sea Cucumbers and 300 Nvidia GPUs Seized After High Speed Boat Chase
Toms Hardware ^ | zhiye liu

The story seems like it came out of a movie. The Chinese authorities detected a suspicious fishing boat anchored just outside the Hong Kong International Airport. The sea smugglers were loading boxes from the fishing boat to a speedboat at 2 am. When their cover was blown, the shady men hopped on the speedboat and sped away towards mainland waters. A high-speed boat chase ensued (insert Bourne chase music), but the astute gang got away. However, the officers managed to detain the owner of the fishing boat.

The confiscated goods included typical exotic foods, such as sea cucumbers and shark fins, and tech products, like smartphones and computer gadgets. Much to the authorities' surprise, there were up to 300 unidentified graphics cards inside the boxes. According to the report, the lot of tech products is valued at HK$2 million (~$257,000).

I think Daddy Joe was the last Kennedy to have good luck with any type of vehicle.

Hi.

“That MO is how the Kennedy’s acquired their wealth during prohibition.”

The Kennedy males have a great record regarding transportation.

One Kennedy had his boat sunk. Joe Jr. didn’t come back from a training mission. One Kennedy couldn’t ski. Another of Joe’s boys couldn’t drive and one grandson couldn’t fly.

Mucho deaths associated with that klan.

Years ago the speed boats were used to transport stolen high end auto cars (Rolls Royce) from Hong Kong to the Mainland.

After dark, in pilot waters, we were leaving HK in a very large container ship. I was on radar and couldn’t look over the side as one of the high speed smugglers sped past us on the offshore side. Everyone else got to look. I couldn’t pick it up on radar, only its wake.

AFAIK no Kennedy has ever crashed a snowmobile or a bicycle.

Airplanes, yes. Cars, yes. Boats, yes. Skis, yes.
