TWO WOMEN IN THEIR 20S WERE BUSTED BY AUSTRALIAN AUTHORITIES
AFTER THEY WERE TRAVELING WITH 200 POUNDS OF COCAINE IN THEIR
LUGGAGE. THE STORY HAS MADE ñ IS INTERESTING BECAUSE FOR THE LAST
TWO MONTHS THEY WERE ON AN EXTRAVAGANT VACATION ON A CRUISE
LINE WHERE THEY HAD TO PAY AT LEAST $20,000 PER TICKET. PRIOR
TO GETTING ARRESTED, THEY WERE ALL OVER THE WORLD, SOUTH
AMERICA, EUROPE, POSTING PICTURES ALL OVER INSTAGRAM,
DRINKING COCONUTS. THERE THEY ARE IN NEW YORK WEARING
GLADIATOR SANDALS, THEY ARE LIVING THE LIFE, THEN THEY GET
BUSTED WITH AN INSANE AMOUNT OF COKE. LET ME GIVE YOU THE
DETAILS.
>> WOW.
>> MELISSA AND ISABEL ARE THE PEOPLE THAT GOT CAUGHT. THEY
FACE A LIFE SENTENCE
IN PRISON.
>> IT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR BUSINESS THERE.
>>APPARENTLY.
>> OKAY.
>>ONE MORE DETAIL, ONE OF THE GIRLS WORKS AT A PANDORA JEWELRY
STORE WHERE I DON'T THINK THEY MAKE A TON OF MONEY. IF YOU ARE
ON A LUXURY CRUISE AND YOU ARE SELLING COCAINE, DON'T POST THE
PICTURES ON SOCIAL MEDIA. YOU'RE GOING TO GET CAUGHT.
>>THESE GIRLS WHO ARE PERHAPS WORKING MINIMUM WAGE JOBS ALL OF
A SUDDEN GO ON A CRAZY EXPENSIVE CRUISE. AM I A BAD PERSON FOR
ROOTING FOR THEM? MAYBE. LET'S DISCUSS. THEY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE
HAVING SO MUCH FUN. AND NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD. THEY GO ALL
THESE PLACES, THEY ARE LIKE BONNIE AND CLYDE EXCEPT THEY ARE
LIKE BONNIE AND BONNIE. IS SO MUCH FUN, WHO DOESN'T WANT TO BE
WITH THEM?? OF COURSE, THEY ARE ON A LUXURY CRUISE LINE DRINKING
FUCKING COCONUTS.
I WOULD ALMOST GIVE UP EVERYTHING I HAVE IN TERMS
OF MATERIAL POSSESSIONS TO BE WITH THEM RIGHT NOW.
>> HOW GREAT IS THAT PICTURE LOOK? THE OTHER PART OF THE
ISSUE HERE IS OF COURSE THE BAD THING THEY DID, HAVING $30
MILLION WORTH OF COCAINE. I DON'T REALLY CARE. IT'S A LAW I
SHOULDN'T AGREE WITH. I THINK DRUGS SHOULD BE LEGAL ALL ACROSS
THE WORLD. I DON'T THINK THAT IS THE RIGHT WAY TO PREVENT DRUG
ADDICTION, TO MAKE IT ILLEGAL. TO ME IT IS NOT THAT HARMFULLY
CRIME. I KNOW PARTS OF THE DRUG TRADE ARE TERRIBLE, BUT NOT THIS
PART.
>>PARTS OF THE DRUG TRADE ARE TERRIBLE BECAUSE IT IS ILLEGAL.
IT ALLOWS FOR THEM TO TAKE A LUXURY CRUISE. IF IT WERE LEGAL
AND REGULATED, ON AN INTERNATIONAL LEVEL, I KNOW WE
DON'T HAVE AN INTERNATIONAL GOVERNING BODY, BUT EACH COUNTRY
HAS ITS OWN REGULATIONS. THEN THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO
WHAT THEY DID. THERE WOULD BE UGLY SIDES OF THE DRUG TRADE
BECAUSE IT WOULD BE IRRELEVANT. THERE WOULD NOT BE A BLACK
MARKET FOR IT. THAT IS REALLY WHAT I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD GET
OUT OF THE STORY? SHOULD THEY SPEND THE REST OF THEIR LIVES IN
PRISON? HELL NO. WHAT THEY DID WAS WRONG, THERE SHOULD BE SOME
CONSEQUENCES BUT A LIFE SENTENCE FOR COKE? REALLY?
>> YOU ARE GOING TO PUT THEM IN PRISON FOR THE REST OF THEIR
LIVES? LET THEM GO.
