Just a thought- that $1billion figure is only that high because of government actions. Without it being contraband, it might only be worth a few hundred thousand, tops.
It would be like if the government started confiscating and burning ‘67 corvettes, and when they confiscate the last one, agents pose for holy pictures in front of it stating that “they took it in a midnight raid from the last dangerous octegenarian holdout who was hiding this vehicle worth an estimated $100 million.”- right before lighting it on fire
