...Drug Enforcement Administration official as consisting of "a very sophisticated and educated group of professional people." Drugs were ferried, for example, by a couple of former commercial airline pilots who are believed to have known the gaps in the U.S. coastal radar network.

A senior DEA official doubts that profits from the coke sales were being used by the traders to cover their losses on the risky market. Millions are made and lost each day on the exchange, but Board President William M. Smith assured investors that their money was in no greater jeopardy than usual.
