A raid of the home of a suspected Miami-Dade drug trafficker turned up a whopping $24 million in cash, all sealed in buckets.

That’s what happens if you stash all your drugs and money in one place instead of multiple and lose it all at once when seized

When are people gonna wake up...it can happen in any neighborhood..

Sure it was only 24 million. There is no way possible the ones who found this didn’t pocket some. Come on people, there are very, very, very few Americans who are honest when it comes to money like this.

I'm taking a million for myself, my whole squad is going to eat off that.

[mikejone]

Come on!!! You got $24 million dollar cash in your home, and ur security weapon is an 1980’s Tec9???? Where’s da p90?? Mp7? Ar15?

[rock_oclock]

$24M was the reported number, it was probably more like $25-28 million.

[enzigenes]

$24million???? That's nothing. That dude probably laughing knowing he got another $50-100 million in a stash somewhere.

WHAT AN ANIMAL, HOW DARE HE HAVE THE AUDACITY TO PROVIDE A PRODUCT THAT THERE IS A DEMAND FOR AND THEN PROFIT FROM HIS ENTRAPENURAL EXPERTISE. THE SHEER NERVE OF HIM TO THINK THAT HE WAS AN ADULT AND COULD SIMPLY ENGAGE IN TRADE.

That happens when you don't pay uncle Sam on a monthly basis... They will take what you have by force.. it's best to pay and not loose everything and go to jail.

Rookie cop: "So yea, we found 25-"
Veteran cop: *coughs*
Rookie: "Twenty five... bottles of beer on the wall. But only 24 million bucks"

[suprememagnetic]

He lost someone’s money, he’s screwed!

[raypena]

$24 million dollars can be used to help lots of people in need. Who keeps the money and how is it spent

[cents]

Those are bread crumbs compared to Wall Street

[vidkqzf]

I wish I had some of those home Depot buckets. Is that what they are used for? I don't think I would be able to fill one.

[seangibsonable]

Just imagine how much he still has hid

In a related story, the mayor and city council just filed a $24M insurance claim.

This wasn’t no bust… this what happens when someone on the inside (GOV) stop getting their cut
