I've never dealt drugs but the following may give an indication of why people are attracted to it.
20 years ago you could get a bag (gram) of coke for $200.
A very small time dealer would purchase a ounce of coke for $4K which would be divided into 28 bags (gram) x $200 which equates to a profit of $1600 (5600 - 4000 = $1600).
I'm sure the dealer would have no probs selling 28 bags over Friday and/or Saturday night.
$1600 tax free dollars for 2 nights work max.
Enter the GREED factor and the very smaller dealer sees an opportunity to make more cash and goes higher up the chain and starts shifting a few kg's and the spiral begins.
Easy money and a great lifestyle until they get caught.
Remember, these figures are 20 years ago and to put that $1600 profit into perspective, a 2 bedroom unit a few blocks from Coogee Beach in 1996 would rent for $300.
Today that rent would be $800 p/w.
Based on that, That $1600 would be around $4K in todays value.
I'm not sure what to make of these Titan's players and Hunt and what involvement they had but one thing is for sure they are stupid and naive to say the least.
Some people get a buzz out of dealing or associating with dealers but it was never for me.
I know a few guys who are doing time for a long time and never knew when to quit.
