Importation prices were not available. Wholesale prices were used instead (all price estimates are reported in Canadian dollars). While the estimates do corroborate the financial sums that appeared in the electronic transcripts for some of the importations, wholesale prices reveal an estimate of what participants in the importation network would have made if not seized. Thus, the use of wholesale prices does overestimate the importation network’s financial losses. Some attempt was also made to gather data on how the losses were distributed across the ensemble of participants, but conversation excerpts relating to such affairs were too ambiguous to arrive at a clear understanding of profit allocation within the network.
