Who do you think is behind this?

This cocaine bust in New Jersey...

https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/03/11/us/coc ... r%3D965854

It came FROM Colombia, and was going into Antwerp..... this smells like the Calabrians.....No?

I'm wondering now if they are still trying to set up a New York base...... or if it's up and running already......

That was the largest bust here in Jersey in 25 years.

Better not effect my nightlife!

Columbians, all the way. They are more spread out across the world now like every other group. There is a current drastic increase in cell phone stores being robbed by stick ups in New York but instead of money they are taking all the phones. The robbers are all Hispanic and Black, the phones are being traced to eastern Europe and Africa. It was on tv news report yesterday, I will try to find it. I'm surprised how much global crime is increasing.

I did not find the tv story on the cel phone robberies, but a Times article on same topic. Instead of Eastern Europe, they say the phones are going to China and the Middle East, and mention an Arab stick man who was caught.

Cabrini, what do you think of the 77 million dollar value given? I don't see how they can say it is worth any amount till they test it. Plus I am not familiar with coke value by the pound.

[Stroccos]

Feds are saying 53,000 a kilo

By the time you get the coke at the club it’s been processed by a few dealers bet your getting garbage buying in that small quantity

At a thousand an ounce wholesale, which I think is the price, that makes a value of 1,925,000 dollars. If wholesale is less, which it probably is at that quantity, the value goes down. They give it a street value, which just makes it anything they wish to call it. Regardless, its a very big seizure.

I'm surprised the authorities didn't tag and monitor/surveil the ship to see who the purchaser/receiver was.

[JeremyTheJew]

in antwerp there are several groups involved, not only calabrians

[Chopper]

in Antwerp you're dealing with Maroccans, Albanians, Dutch, Mexican point men, and yeah the Italians.

When a shipment is headed to Antwerp it can be headed to either one of the above, it's one big clusterfuck over here.

[Chopper]

The K price fluctuates a lot over here, between 20 and 37 in the last 2 years. Thats 1 K uncut. When you buy wholesale the price goes down obviously.

[CabriniGreen]

I just dont think a European based group like Albanians or especially Morroccans would send it to NY first...

I think Calabrians specifically because of the route the coke took, and the destination point.....

We know the Calabrese have NY contacts, and possibly a pressence there...... I'm not too sure about Morroccans, Mexicans wouldnt ship it from Colombia if it was going to the states.

I suppose the Albanians are a possibility, they do have contacts in Colombia.... I also dont see the point of the Dutch sending it to NY first, like for what?

I say Calabrese, with the Albanians as a long shot... then again they work hand in glove with the Calabrese....
