So-called "cocaine sharks" are the latest nightmarish animal to make headlines. The phenomenon is explored in an upcoming Discovery TV show that will air during the channel's annual "Shark Week" event.
Like "Cocaine Bear" before it – a 2023 film loosely based on a bear that consumed cocaine in a forest in 1985 – the "Cocaine Sharks" show has piqued widespread interest before it even aired.

“I swim through cocaine, so I can eat more people…so I can swim through more cocaine…so I can eat more people…so I can…”
Don’t forget that Afghanistan has many rare minerals that are essential to tech production. I think that matters more than opium.
Oh, look…all those scary deaths from Chinese Fentanyl will now be scary deaths from Afghan Heroin! Poof! Like magic!
Credit Suisse CS 0.00%▲ Group AG and a former employee were found guilty Monday in a Swiss federal criminal court of helping a Bulgarian crime ring launder money related to cocaine trafficking.
The court found Credit Suisse didn’t do enough to prevent money laundering by members of the crime ring, which prosecutors said moved tons of cocaine into Europe and washed millions of dollars through Credit Suisse. It fined Credit Suisse around $2.1 million and ordered it to pay around $20 million to the Swiss government.
The former employee, who prosecutors said regularly accepted suitcases of cash from one of the ring members that went beyond allowed limits, was given a 20-month suspended sentence. A person from another bank and two members of the crime ring were also found guilty of money-laundering charges.

Suisse said it would appeal the decision. It noted that the alleged
offenses date to more than 14 years ago. It had said it was astonished
to be charged when prosecutors brought the case in December 2020. The
bank on Monday said it is continually testing its anti-money-laundering
framework and has been strengthening it over time.
The former employee’s lawyer said she wasn’t sufficiently trained by the bank, and will appeal.
The court said Credit Suisse made it possible for the crime ring to launder money through the bank between July 2007 and December 2008 by failing to adequately monitor its accounts and make sure the business complied with anti-money-laundering rules. The crime ring allegedly recruited a Bulgarian wrestler and others in his orbit for operations transporting drugs and laundering money.
Credit Suisse had argued that prosecutors were alleging deficiencies based on rules and principles that didn’t apply at the time. It said previously that outside lawyers and consultants had reviewed its systems against money laundering and found its organizational setup was “correct and appropriate” in the period being probed. Prosecutors initially charged the bank with deficiencies between 2004 and 2008 but had to narrow the time frame because too much time had passed.
The conviction hits Credit Suisse as it tries to turn a corner on financial losses and other scandals, including more than $5 billion in losses related to the collapse of family office Archegos Capital Management.
On Tuesday, Credit Suisse will update investors on plans to cut costs this year to help offset falling revenue in some divisions. It previously said it expects to post its third consecutive quarterly loss for the three months ending June 30.
