I haven't heard anything about that. Are you referring to the fake cocaine that the undercover agent sold to a SR employee right before arresting them?

No cocaine seizure was reported, but the Maryland indictment show federal agents delivering 1 kilogram of coke to someone, presumably the alleged "victim" in the assassination plot also referenced there. I guess the feds have plenty of that high-grade stuff just laying around...

No, the Maryland indictment is clear that it was not 1kg of coke, it was mostly fake.

"X {micro,milli,,kilo,mega,giga,peta,exa}grams of a substance containing a detectable amount of DRUG" is boilerplate derived from the text of the federal drug statutes. Either of us could be right, or neither. shrug
