I have a puzzle for you Nostr!

You are the director of the DEA. A drug lord has been avoiding your capture for many years now. You have determined that he's made millions of dollars from drugs purchased using cash. Recently, you lobbied congress and they passed a bill abolishing cash entirely.

A few weeks later, a mysterious millionare named Doug Ford started selling "Doug Bananas" in supermarkets across the state for $100 a pop. Crackheads immediately started buying them, but when your team examined them, no drugs were present. They appeared to be ordinary bananas with Doug's face stamped on them.

Can you deduce the secret plot?

Trade the bananas to dealers for crack

Yeah, but why would the dealers be willing to trade valuable crack for a banana?

vinney...axkl 1y ago

Because they give it back to the OG as proof they sold the crack and he gives them something better than a banana

And who is the OG?

Doug Ford?

Yes, it doesn't really make sense otherwise. It's one giant banana laundering scheme. Any ideas for a new law you oculd lobby congress to pass to fix this problem and eliminate money laundering for good?

Only terrifically draconian and totalitarian ones that would only pass in a dystopia ;)

I asked someone else the same question and they said "ban bananas too." So yeah, your answer is pretty much the conclusion I came to as well.

Lol, ban bananas.

Just keep banning anything people do vaguely questionable but entirely voluntary and peaceful stuff with! Perfect!
