nuevo túnel - A record! - 2600 feet
Just in time for 4/20! Agents find 2,600ft tunnel packed with seven tons of marijuana, a ton of cocaine and even its own rail system on Mexican border in what could be the longest drugs passage EVER found

2014
According to U.S. law enforcement, Colombian national police, and Foreign narcotic experts, a wholesaler can buy a kilo of cocaine straight from the jungle in Colombia for approximately $2200.00. At Colombian ports, wholesale prices for a kilo of cocaine average between $5,500.oo, and $7,000.00. DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) officials has reported over the years that cocaine prices increased exponentially once it leaves production and transferred to markets in the United States and foreign markets. Actually, as the report points out, the farther away, and the more isolated the drugs are from different countries the higher the cost for dealers and users.
For example, Central America cocaine cost $10,000.00 per kilogram, and in Southern Mexico that same kilo sells for $12,000,00, unless a broker make an agreement to reduce the price based on multiple kilos of cocaine. Notice the much higher price between Central America and Mexico. After cocaine is transported into Mexico City area, a kilo is worth approximately $16,000.00 near the border town of Northern Mexico. Depending on the location in the U.S., wholesale on the streets average between $24,000.00, and $27,000.00.
Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to determine at which link in the distribution channel your risk/reward ratio greatest. Use your own experience, this thread and any leaked pre-release pages of Licky's book in your calculations.
SHOW YOUR WORK.

See how he uses the thread to send secretive messages to suspicious strangers in non-coded text just so we don't figure out that he's really an alien posing on Earth as an international spy using the alias of an aspiring historical investigative journalist to further the agenda the evil leaders he worships in a galaxy far away while exposing all the posters on his thread to subliminal hypnotic suggestions compelling us to hassle him about never finishing his imaginary book about the mysterious Yosemite plans crash of 1977 in order to make his laughable project seem legitimate enough to provide him a reasonable cover for his nefarious nastiness instead of responding to the countless jeers and sneers he endures online in pursuit of what has turned out to be a ridiculously quixotic obsession?

Must be some kinda communication breakdown, like this one.
Somebody forgot to pay the bribe on time or to the right guy.
Seven tons of marijuana were found stashed in a trailer attempting to cross the Otay Mesa cargo facility in south San Diego on April 28, 2016. The drugs had an estimated street value of $7.1 million.
BTW, I heard last night that the Zodiac guy is still alive. Hope it doesn't wreck my book.

Border tunnels detected since 2008 = 138. Cost of remediation (mainly filling with concrete), estimated at $8.7million.
Why not just put sensors in the tunnels and monitor whether there are attempts to re-use them? Could intercept more smuggling attempts and boost their seizures advertising numbers.
Who is getting paid to do the concrete work?

DecrepiD-it, dude. And, no, Licky hasn't finished the book yet. Yeah, I know. It's been, like forever. I wish he'd finish too, the doctor only gave me fifty years to live.

Now that's an interesting deal right there. What did he charge?
If you find one that can dissolve cataracts, please post it here. I check in from time to time.

It's not the thread that's FUBAR, it's the book itself, or lack thereof. The thread functions on different levels but the book either doesn't exist, never existed or serves a purpose not revealed to the participants. In other words Licky is either disengenuous or inept. Either he can't write or never really intended to all along. For years he's been called out to offer a sneak preview or even a chapter summary or table of contents but most, if not all of the prods, pokes, requests have been met with scorn, derision, hostility or merely a vacuum within which the silence is deafening. He asks the participants to offer up details of an illegal activity with no compensation other than a vague assurance that someday we might get to read the story. For those like myself who have asked for some assurance that a project is actually underway and not some information-gathering device for another purpose have been ridiculed as a poser or liar. Much as Donald Trump shouts down his legitimate critics with bombast and ridicule, Licky engages his critics with vitriol and innuendo, and this coming from a kid who clearly is too young to know anything first-hand about the event in question. He curries favor with his favorites while viciously attacking his critics. The analogies to Trump are numerous and disturbing. WHO is this guy you've told your secrets to?And who IS he really? Perhaps there will be a hundred word bio on the dust jacket of the hardcover edition of his book, assuming there ever will be one at all. And if we assume that there is a book really being written, as opposed to a database of illegalities for law enforcement to parse for ties to other investigations then we must ASSUME. I choose not to, because to do so "makes an ASS out of yoU and ME. And we all know that Licky's the ass here.

My feeling is that there is not really that much of a story here. A plane crashes with contraband..........a few dirtbags go up and retrieve......some of them sell the stuff and get a few bucks........ I wouldn't pay to read it. It was an obscure enough incident bank in its day, and now???

One guy made enough bucks to support himself thru 4 years of college and bought a house to boot.
He wasn't a local nor a climber but this guy showed up out of nowhere and came just to make money for the previous sentences reason .....

How he found out and got there might be the more interesting story.

More interesting would be reading what smoking 100 octane-soaked bunk weed does to you.
Is the statute of limitations up on that, too?
