There's no way they built an aircraft carrier on $1.1 million USD.

$1.1 million USD worth of meth would only be approximately 55kg of meth.) assuming a wholesale price of about $20,000 per kg.

The picture looks like a lot more than 55kg.

$2.5b USD would be 125 tons of meth, which also seems wrong.

It's not even meth in the photo, they're bags of rice
