Going to be a lot of upset people in Mayfield

Street value of a billion dollars
Ya,I hit the click over on the DRUDGE yesterday myself on that header, they said only two arrests & theres a very strong likelihood of more still on the ship,,,so it's obviously implying (to me) that in all actuality it was probably a 100 ton shipment,thusly soon to ignite a massive run on the store shelves of "Arm&Hammer " baking soda sales in the immediate A.O. o_O

There will be several new unmarked graves somewhere in the next couple of weeks.
These cabrone caballero's know the "costs" involved in plying their trade,,,that was obviously a diversionary sacrificial gimme' bust, while the mega tonnage delivery done pulled an end-a-round,,,,er,,,as their working that product up& processing it to the marketing saleable level 24/7o_O

* 16.5 tons is about the volume capacity of a tri-axle dump truck w/an under slung overload axle

I always wonder how much of this actually gets "destroyed"? I bet some finds it way back to the streets and/or in the pockets of some detectives. Just too much value there.

Also, maybe not a bust quite this big, but I've read that sometimes big time dealers will purposely allow their shipments to get busted. Sleight of hand type thing. Everybody celebrating a 16.5 ton hit and behind them is a 25 ton shipment quietly cruising by. Lol (just using this as an example. 16.5 tons is a lot to lose for anybody)

It's a dirty game!
