1 BILLION worth of Cocaine Seized in Philadelphia!

I didn't know Whitney Houston owned a house in Philadelphia.

I had no clue about how cocaine was sold or why 16.5 tons could amount to a billion dollars in sales. So I looked up selling by weight.

In North America commonly found units are 1.75 grams but really 1.5g ( "teener", slang for 1/16th of an ounce , 28 grams in an ounce so 16th should be 1.75 gm, but is usually 1.5g )


3.5 grams ( "eightball")

16.5 tons whether teener or eight ball that breakdown IMO is no blip on the screen.

Yes, I agree Knight.

That was a hell of a bust. Wonder how much of it the cops took? Lets face it, some shady police officers on the forces.

Ya know, hate to say it, but I thought the same thing.
