3.2 tonnes of weed

 

holy sweet fuck.

 

Thats what: (say $200 for an ounce)

 

200*3.57 (in 100grams) * 10 (into kg) * 1000 (into tonne) * 3.2

 

= $22,857,142.

 

Thats alot of busines.

I doubt that they would get 200 an OZ in the volumes they would be dealing with but even if you say 100 dollars its still over 10 million.

3.2t = 3200 kg x 1000 = 320,000 grams /28.3=113000 oz

I wonder how many years they were successful for?
