That's a lot of dope.

bc

The drug lords are getting sophisticated. Next thing will be real subs. I bet the Russians have a few old diesel electric subs for sale. It would pay for itself in one trip.

Way to go coasties

That's freaking unbelievable. $187 million dollars worth of coke. I bet the drug lords are pissed.

Wow, that is an impressive score!

Very nice work, I'll bet someone is pissed about losing that much dope.

Somebody is going to be in a lot of trouble. I wonder who many times that did make it thru.
