You said it.
Back in my route 66 days, I motorcycled to Panama and got hooked up with the smugglers, who lived in a card board jungle in San Cristobal. In those days they were smuggling cigarettes and booze out of Columbia. One beat up guy had been keel hauled by the Panamanian Coast Guard three times.
I was going to captain an LST back to Florida that had been used to steal hardwoods out of Nicaragua..... oh those were the days....

Don’t really care. The DEA and the Drug War are a waste of money. Also, so is the $3 billion we send every year to Columbia for Colombians to kill other Colombians.

IMO, this 21 tons and whatever else was confiscated is the bribe in order for the larger shipments to pass by undisturbed.

Do you care that this is a completely false story put out by AP and reissued by ABC?

If my calculations are correct thats 5,376,000 8 balls of coke, uncut. I don’t know what the street value is but that is going to make a whole bunch of people mad....

“I dont know what the street value...”
On FoxNews, the street value was reported at half a billion dollars.

“I’m saying the “final” amount reported will be under 10. Your 7 may be real close.”
Our Coast Guard has the coke and made the bust. This story is not true.

I don’t think it is accurate either. Perhaps the Panamanian police were represented there due to the location. And you have to consider the source in the story.....ABC News and a Panamanian police official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the record

No rooty-toot-toot for you!!!!!

Wow! Bet this street value makes your standard police issue desk calculator go into “OVERFLOW ERROR”.
To: AmericaUnited
@ $300 AN 8 BALL (3.5 GRAMS) (EARLY 90’S #’S) THATS $1,612,800,000.00
To: BradtotheBone
Hmm, I thought the Panamanian drug problem was solved when we threw old Pineapple Face in prison... The more things change, the more they stay the same.
