I got sucked into doing some amateur study of the economy of drug trafficking because of brilliant TV shows.

When you study the numbers, understand the geo-politics, social, criminal & financial elements behind the global industry... you realise just how powerful it really is!🎬

-Offshore
-Trade based money laundering

It's mind blowing in scale & influence @InSightCrime 🤯
