Cops Now Have World’s Greatest Coke
Hey, the Philadelphia police made a big cocaine bust on April Fool’s Day! The narcs got 300 kilos of cocaine and have claimed it’s worth $22 million. The average coke price in a metro area like Philadelphia is $25-30 grand per kilo of coke. (Cocaine, like soda, is measured in metric.) The cops are therefore claiming an incredible $73 grand per kilo, which means they totally have the purest cocaine ever. Or the $22 million the cops are claiming is just moon money, and, really, who cares? But why not go higher. “The cops seized a kilo of cocaine today worth a hillion jillion dollars. Now none of you kids go into selling drugs to make all this money!” Update: The teevee says it’s actually $28 million worth of coke! No word if this is correct, but it’s just as correct as the original number, so who cares. |

I like the feeling of metric measurements in my anus.
Indeed, it is cheap these days. But where you going to get it? Late night in Old City or Rittenhouse?
Devon, as they suggest on http://www.philalawyer.net? Or old time style, at the Continental?
I think I know how to raise money for more cops…
The cocaine has a street value of over $22 million according to the article.
Wholesale: 300 kilos * $23k a kilo = $6.9 million
But the retail price is, according to the website you cite, $110 per gram in Philadelphia.
300 kilos = 300,000 grams
300,000 grams * $110 per gram = $33,000,000
So actually it looks like the cops are valuing it at more like $90 - $100 a gram. Street value.
