    What I’m shocked about is there’s a $14M black market for rhino horns and they’re principled enough to not just sell dried glue shavings and call it rhino horn.

      It’s a black market for rich people.

      You can’t get away with cutting their products as easily as you can selling drugs to high schoolers.

      Wouldn’t even be surprised if vietnamese use scientific methods to test the authenticity of the rhino horn in a lab to then proceed and ignore all scientific evidence that it doesn’t do shit to treat their hangover.
