Lol, back in my day, when one young guy hands another young guy 6,000 dollars and got a return of 100,000 dollars there weren't many things they could have been dealing in.

Guns to insurgents, coke, or a guy called Bill Gates, are all that come to mind.

More seriously, I have to wonder at the lack of intense curiosity by the press about that kind of profit return.
