4 Mexican nationals were arrested, believed to be consulted in design and engineering of labs

-The warehouse in southern Delta state could produce 4,000 kilograms (8,800 pounds) a week of the synthetic drug, which sells for $6,000 a kilogram in Nigeria but as much as $300,000 a kilogram in the Asian markets favored by Nigerian drug dealers, Ofoyeju told The Associated Press. Most goes to Singapore and Malaysia.

-The lab completed a first successful production in February and the agents raided it as the Mexicans were producing a second run, Ofoyeju said. Only 1.5 kilograms of meth was recovered with 750 liters (200 gallons) of liquid methamphetamine.

I'm curious why crystal is 300,000 a ki in Asian markets..they send almost all the precursor chemicals to Mexico, so they can produce it....Why would the finished product, which goes for about 3,000/pound in San Diego, go for 100x that, halfway across the world? And, in Nigeria it's 6,000 a kilo, in San Diego, less then 5 years ago, it was like 10,000 a pound?

A lot of Asian countries have very harsh penalties (inc death) for drug trafficking. I guess the prices relfect the risk factor.

Locals don't no parts of that lol.

You should see how much a Kilo is in Saudi Arabia...but who are you going to convince to make the run :sas1:

Since we get most of the prison time for drugs no reason we shouldnt try to make the majority of the profit.
