Nice bust

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,195870,00.html

It will make a dent in the bad guy's program but I doubt we will see much decline on the street. Kudos to all involved though!

Not to denigrate the bust, it was a nice haul, but last I heard, 52 tons over three years is about 3% per year of the total.

Probably not enough to affect the street price, unless it was caught in big chunks at close intervals.

Nice work by the DEA. 52 tons may hurt temporarily and the seizure will force the other dealers to evaluate the TTP's used to conduct business. Another benefit should be an intelligence bonanza from these guys once (if) the US Attorney wants to play lets make a deal. Looks like all the DEA agents get new yachts/BMWs this Christmas.

That could be the line of the week.
