Bad deal, that is wrong. Glad they got caught.

I’m wondering on the term “netted” ten million?

I wonder if it didn’t gross ten million?

And the nitrogen comment as others point out. I know what was meant; but that isn’t what was said.

Seems reporters have a difficult time with numbers like that, and use colorful prose rather than correct terms.

A minor thing it doesn’t change the wrongness, but even in drug cases, they put a value on the drugs being hauled in a plane or ship, and it seems that is full retail, where the ton of drugs might only be worth 1/10 in its current state.
