    You think the U.S. has a problem with drug smuggling? Try Spain. They just found 7 tons of cocaine in shipping containers buried under a farm, and one of their top cops had 20 million euros hidden in the walls of his house. Spain was part of an international drug bust in July that arrested 50 people, 24 of which in Spain.

    Wow, that's a lot. Here's what ChatGPT came up with when I asked about the value...

    • Low end: $50 per gram (bulk street price).
    • High end: $150 per gram (retail street price).

    ***

    Range of Street Values:
    The street value of 7 tons of cocaine would range between approximately $350 million and $1.05 billion.

    Is that before or after they cut it? If it's before then then the value is much higher.
