They are smuggling garbage! hehehehe... only the liberal environmental crazies could make it profitable to smuggle garbage!

The market price for recycled aluminum is about $950 a ton... but the Socialist State of California will pay an artificial price of $2500 per ton. Recyclable plastic soda bottles have a market price of $95 a ton... the SSofC will pay $950 a ton!

These business people have found a cheap source of a commodity that the Socialist State of California seems to value above what it costs. They have ingeniously set them selves up as suppliers of that commodity to the state. What is criminal about this????

Perhaps the crime is COUNTERFEITING garbage? The cans and bottles may not have the CALIFORNIA recycling logo on them.

You can get out on bail much less than $2,500,000.00 for crimes of violence...

Plus they were smuggling garbage from Mexico to redeem in California for a sky high price. They were arbitragers just like Ivan Boesky. 

Plus the ringleader is Hispanic. Mexican maybe? Doing the crimes that Americans are unwilling and too lazy to do?

Bail for each of the 14 was set at $2.5 million and all are still in custody.

That is a ridiculous bail ---I guess when you commit a crime against something politically correct like recycling, it's taken very seriously.

Hmmm...are you sure on your prices?

CA is paying the deposit refunds, I'd assume.
