I cannot help but laugh. I saw his attorney's name in the post. Hi Larry! Hope you are well.

Using Plank as an average of $23,500 per smuggling incident and the stated $20 BILLION per year figure for the entire smuggled trade we arrive at ~851,000 smuggling occurrences EVERY YEAR!. That is over 2300 cases of smuggling animals every DAY!.

Imagine the courts if these figures are real AND the cops had a 1% capture rate!

Now way smuggled animals = $20 BILLION a year.
