      I would guess that they’re fence is someone who works as a food distributor that resells manufactured goods to retail outlets. Someone who doesn’t ask where a product came from.

      They buy it cheaper than they can from the actual mfr, sell it for the normal price and everyone walks away a little bit richer.

      There’s a ton of food distribution companies, and they’re everywhere.

      Cut it was canola and sell it was off label shit to a couple of shell companies who will funnel into dollar stores and low-mid grade supermarkets

      It’s the police price. So that’s the number of individual bottles multiplied by the average selling price of a single bottle. The real wholesale price is probably much much lower.

      So you’re not fencing a million worth, you’re fencing a 10th of that maybe.
