MB is the head of an international drug ring

Well since i'm in South Florida, the only stuff that is on the news is "More cuban refugees come ashore", "More drugs smuggled", etc, hehe.

Well, I was just watching the 11 pm local news and there was a story about a yacht that was stopped by the Coast Guard, and on it they found like 50 kilos of Cocaine (Not sure if it was 50, I am not up to par on drug info, lol), and the drugs were wrapped in one of those giant flags they always have at Formula 1 races. Well, the flag was all black with a giant Mercedes Benz Star Symbol, and under it, it said in huge bold letters, "A M G". Well, that was pretty funny, but it was even funnier when the local news interviewed one of the Coast Guard officers, and this is what he said, "Well, we are in the process right now of trying to discover what AMG means, and what this symbol is. This was a huge bust for us, and we are going to find out where it came from."

Come on, even non-mb owners know what the three point star and AMG are, hehe.

Man, it was hilarious! I wish I had a clip of the segment so you guys could download it.

Amazing that 50kg gets reported. Which channel evening news reported the mb/AMG story?

I did a search on Channel 10, and found this 5/14/02 story: re 14 tons of this poison!

"Coast Guard law enforcement officers transferred 14 tons of cocaine to U.S. Customs Service and Drug Enforcement Administration officials in Key West yesterday for processing and investigation."

Yeah, that's the story, wasn't sure if it was 50kilos or not, don't really care about that stuff though .

It was on NBC Newschannel 5 in Palm Beach.
