Welcome to Crimetown, a series produced by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier in partnership with Gimlet Media. Each season, we investigate the culture of crime in a different city. In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan. From its heyday as Motor City to its rebirth as the Brooklyn of the Midwest, Detroit’s history reflects a series of issues that strike at the heart of American identity: race, poverty, policing, loss of industry, the war on drugs, an ...

Coke prices are too damn high! Who ya gonna call? The Albanian Mafia!
We're only half kidding. Australians are prepared to pay dumb amounts of money for coke - and that creates a special kind of market. When one of the poorest countries in Europe realises a bunch of ad execs in Sydney will pay 'through the nose' for a bag, well, they see opportunity.
The Comancheros might take issue to this, though. Through the price fixing mechanism referred to as 'the commission' a network of dealers and distributors are keeping prices high and enjoying the profits. With the wild margins on offer in Australia, they can source coke from places like Chicago instead of Columbia. Less guns. Less lunatics. More money.
Enter the Albanians. Wonder why people keep getting shot? Albanians. They are moving in and they want to take over the lucrative coke trade. A trail of bodies in their wake.
But will this lower the price of coke? If so, Joel is onboard.
Enjoy!
