Don't know if the question belongs here but have there been any details from wiretaps/books/confessions etc. about the wholesale price of cocaine in Canada or how much profit Mafia or the bikers make from importing it?

I was reading the Scoppa book and he mentions that he only made $2000 in profit per kilo of coke, which seems really low. He said you would pay $40K per kilo(I'm assuming this also includes logistics costs) and hope to sell it wholesale for $2000 profit. So if for example you import 100 kilos you risk $4 million to make $200K in profit. In this case it hardly seems worth risking that much money, or getting killed by a cartel if you get it on consignment.

On the other hand I was reading the book on the Wolfpack Alliance and while they didn't discuss profit per kilo, the author made it seem like the Wolfpack guys were swimming in money from importing coke. And during El Chapo's trial, Alex Cifuentes mentioned they dealth with Tony Suzuki and they made "dozens of millions".

Was Scoppa just bullshitting, making it seem like he didn't deal in coke because it didn't make sense, the old "i never dealt in drugs bit"? Or is it just that he just didn't have good connections and was forced to buy at a high price?
