The return on pot is awful?
Ugh, for someone who doesn't play in the NFL? Wrong.
Maybe for someone who plays in the NFL and makes $300k+ a year.
But for someone who makes <$100k, the return on pot (50+ pounds espeically) is actually quite large.
It is if you break it down to a level of an ounce or less per unit then youre right. If Vollers was doing that then he was even more stupid
more than likely he is selling them in units of pounds. Getting a hundred dollars or less for every three to four hundred spent is not very good especially when you consider the legal ramifications. Pretty much anything else doubles your money.
Now if he is going south of the checkpoints and purchasing there and then managing to get it back then that is a different story but all of the profit margin is eaten up by the mule.
Dallas eats even up more of the profit because there are guys who take it from where the mule drops it off to Dallas. He gets his cut too. thats why when you get out to say Missouri its so expensive.
At the end of the day he was going to maybe net $5k off a $15k investment and thats without overhead and if everything goes perfect.
He is now going to have to play upwards of $5k just for the lawyer to defend him and the state of texas is going to take a really nice big bite out of his *** thru felony probation.
If you are going to do felony drug trafficing, what he was doing is about as stupid as you can get.
