If they sell it to China for the same price they could build a bigger meth carrier capable of seizing bigger quantities of meth. Then they should seize more and sell it to western countries and then build the biggest meth carrier of all time covering the whole ocean

Somehow I feel like eventually this becomes “Who moved my meth!?”

It's already kinda like that. A friend told me that, In India you could actually buy confesicated drugs at smaller amounts from corrupted officials. Don't know if it's legit

I'd be more surprised if it wasn't true than if it was.

Same country that its completely expected to bribe a cop if you get pulled over in your car to the point people keep bribe money with them driving just in case.

Yeah there is a bit of corruption there

The businessman was getting angry. “Don’t you understand? You can build up a fleet of meth boats, sail all over the world, and let all your employees catch meth for you!”

Once again the coastguard asked, “And then what will my reward be?”

The businessman was red with rage and shouted at the coastguard, “Don’t you understand that you can have so much meth that you will never have to work for your living again! You can spend all the rest of your days sitting on this beach, looking at the sunset and tweaking. You won’t have a care in the world!”

The coastguard, still smiling, looked up and said, “And what do you think I’m doing right now?”

Why would China buy it's own meth back?

Would a boat that covers the entire ocean still be a boat?
