> Sure, there are ways around this, like buying a million rubber duckies in China, then shipping them to the US and selling them at carnivals. But -again- try to import a million of anything, and US Customs will want to know your name and SSN.
Importing and selling that volume of products also kind of defeats the purpose of running a drug cartel. Drug money is quick and easy, rubber ducky money, not so much (which is quite counter-intuitive if you ask me). At some point you will become more involved in the rubber ducky game, funded by drug money.
I didn't choose the duck life. The duck life chose me.
I'm not sure how much you know about the drug business, but no part of the chain of illegal narcotic production, from the farmers to the chemists to the smugglers to the dealers, is quick or easy. The barons get where they are by taking enormous risks, and are constantly under mortal threat from other drug cartels, backstabbers and governments. If it were easy, drugs would be cheaper.
