Another difference could be that drugs are bad mkay whereas purple tints are just evil. Also "drugs" are addictive, which cocaine is not but that doesn't matter for the foregoing reasons.

Another difference could be that the super-duper market place where "hundreds of kilograms of drugs" were being traded for "1.2 billion dollars" took no less than three weeks to close the sale of one measly kilogram of cocaine, an exceptionally large sale for that venue which nevertheless is basically the minimum requisite for any of the one hundred or so parties being thrown in LA every given weekend to which analphabet FBI agents aren't invited unless in their night-time entertainatorial capacity (come to think of it, I wonder what proportion of FBI agents moonshine as hookers at the present time, and of those what number actually makes better money in that second line of work - especially now that daddy govt's a little broke). Nero's contraband purple sold the same day.

And I guess further differences could be found, but unfortunately they'd all be differences without distinction.

Revocavit et praemia coronarum, quae umquam sibi civitates in certaminibus detulissent. Et cum interdixisset usum amethystini ac Tyrii coloris summisissetque qui nundinarum die pauculas unicas venderet, praeclusit cunctos negotiatores. Quin etiam inter canendum animadversum matronam in spectaculis vetita purpura cultam demonstrasse procuratoribus suis dicitur detractamque ilico non veste modo sed et bonis exuit. Nulli delegavit officium ut non adiceret: "Scis quid mihi opus sit, " et: "Hoc agamus, ne quis quicquam habeat."

d. Starting on or about December 17, 2012, through on or about January 10, 2013, the UC and the Vendor communicated via the Internet to negotiate the sale of one kilogram of cocaine. Payment was to be made via Silk Road, insuring that ROSS WILLIAM ULBRICHT, a/k/a "Dread Pirate Roberts," a/k/a "DPR," would collect a fee for the transaction. The Vendor provided the UC with an address to which to ship the cocaine, an address which federal agents later determined was the residence of the Employee.

Anyone spot the difference?
