Laundering Drug Millions - The Invisibles - Crime Documentary

so basicly you arrested the guy to take his money not to stop drug trade.

[@husseinalmosawy3865]

[@FamilieLopes]

The cash flowing outside of America without no trade coming back that was taxable was a real problem we had to recuperate that money someway poeple where doing drugs anyway and if there is no drug they will vind something else and nobody cares bud money flowing out at that speed was a real facking reason to start a war

[@Popescu789]

[@lpointmpoint3736]

I am sickened by the profound arrogance of the US government. The demand comes from America. But the US government is focused on the supply. Before removing a splinter from the supplier's eye, try removing the log from the demand side.

[@jamjardj1974]

This doesn't make any sense.. it is much easier to shut down the supply than to try to shut down the demand

US to Don Lucho: "You can do 8 years in jail and then go back to business, no worries. But could we please have some of your money - not all of it of course, how rude would that be? - so we can continue to fund our many pointless agencies, and my make-work job in particular? We feel like our mangement of the drug trade entitles us to a pecentage, ya know?" Don Lucho to US: "No problem, thanks guys." And it goes on and on and on.

How does that work?

[@tyereksmith8946]

​@@ciarz3rchain reaction to the environment

[@uhurunuru6609]

It doesn't actually work like that, the money spent on enforcing prohibition is irrelevant, simple fact is supply & demand keeps the price fixed for the end user, that never changes. All drugs have a minimum viable dosage & drug dealers know exactly what that dosage is, on the supply side the actual growers, get paid very well for a subsistence crop grower. The vast profits come from the economies of scale by consolidating the supply chain, because the vast majority of drug users never have enough money to pay more. Minimum Viable dose sees to that, Drug Dealers can't put up the end user price, if they want a captive (Addicted) market because the end user need to be able to pay for that dose.

[@Didmasela]

It is extremely difficult to shut down the supply of the equation because the supply source is outside the US territorial boundary and beyond the control of US government. The USA needs to fight the war on drugs on both fronts (demand and supply). You can understand this from simple principles of micro economics ( market forces of demandand supply)- the higher the demand the higher the suppl due to high profit, and the lower the demand the lower the supply due to low profit.

[@GloryDaze73]

CIA will never allow anyone to interfere with their drug supply business. Drug trade will never stop, because the World's elite benefit from all the profits and they allow safe passage for important drug lords. This guy is small fry.
