I read recently of smugglers busted with $18 million worth of meth hidden in a vegetable shipment. It was around 16 tons. For the smugglers, Aside from of going to prison, are the smugglers indebted to the cartel or do the cartels see it as a cost of doing business?
In: Economics
Any good business operation accounts for breakage in their accounting.
Not all of the product you manufacture/purchase for distribution are going to make it to market, so you build that loss into the pricing.
The smugglers figure out what percentage they can successfully smuggle and what percentage gets confiscated… and it’s all handled in the accounting.
