So the top seller on SR sold 2kg of coke, 0,5kg of heroin and 100g of meth in nearly half a year? You can imagine all the Tony Montanas of this world lifting their eyes up from their coffers each filled with 100 times that amount of drugs, before erupting with maniacal laughter and proceeding to bribe more politicians into perpetuating the digital arm of this war.

2 kg cocaine = 2000 grams x 100$/gram = 200,000$

500 grams heroin x 200$/gram = 100,000$

100 grams meth x 200$/gram = 20,000$

320,000$ revenue in 5 months is not bad, considering that dealers of hard drugs at least double up on their investment. I can also think of vendors on SR that were moving a lot more weight than this, just based on their public feedback. Plus keep in mind that some of the largest vendors were not publicly listed.

Over 1 1/2 years ago, the vendor tony76 made off with over 100,000$ in a single week in one of the largest SR scams.
