Cocaine in E-Cigarettes? Yes, and in MILLIONS of doses!
Shocking Bust in Malaysia and South Korea
Malaysian authorities, working with South Korea’s national intelligence service, have busted an international drug cartel trying to smuggle two million doses of e-cigarettes laced with cocaine! Yes, you read that right — cocaine hidden inside e-cigarettes, enough to supply two million users.
How Did They Pull This Off?
The cartel leader set up a fake company in Gangnam, the fancy part of Seoul, posing as a businessman. He recruited South Korean students in Singapore, tricking them into thinking the anesthetic etomidate was harmless. Etomidate is legally used in medicine for sedation, but its illegal use with narcotics can cause serious harm, even death.
Seizures and Arrests
During the operation, police seized four cartridges containing illegal substances — enough to distribute to thousands of users. Four cartel members were arrested, but the investigation continues as the network likely has more contacts in South Korea.
What Does This Mean?
This story sounds like a thriller, but it’s real and terrifying. Smuggling drugs inside e-cigarettes shows how far drug cartels will go to fool authorities and endanger lives. Is the next step smuggling cocaine in your favorite gadget?
