Kids these days can’t even use a sextant…
4 billion dollars? What the fuck.
Why Starlink? You don’t need two way communication to navigate. Or were they using the satellites for celestial navigation?
Should have used a compass woudn’t have gotten caught.
…that’s not how Starlink or navigation works….?
They were in the surface? They could’ve used a commercial radar with GPS to navigate and it wouldve been exactly the same quality of fix. Starlink had nothing to do with it. Jesus it’s coming from the same satellites. What a trash article.
Quality engagement bait from this shitty headline.
They were probably wearing adidas shoes, should be start a lawsuit against them too?
Completely unintended the use of “Starlink” on the headline I guess 🙄
It’s a boat of course they are using GPS navigation.
Who cares that they were using Starlink? Should we go after every product manufacturer that criminals use? Including Starlink in this post /article is clearly an attempt to attack Elon and his company.
Why is Starlink even mentioned here? Did they use it to access Google maps?
Is the Elon hate so bad that you have to shoe-horn it into every article?
this reminds me to finish watching breaking bad
I don’t see drug smugglers, the drugs, or the satellite system in this picture. What’s the point?
*Andaman and Nicobar Islands police found Myanmarese smugglers using Inmarsat mobile services and Starlink satellite internet for navigation while transporting 6,000 kg of methamphetamine. The Indian Coast Guard apprehended six smugglers and seized Myanmar currency, a portable Inmarsat mobile, multiple SIM cards, and a Starlink dish. Investigations are ongoing, including inquiries with the Myanmar government, Inmarsat, SpaceX and a large Indian telco conglomerate.*
Looks like Inmarsat is in trouble too…
$4B. Damn!!
Remember how they were selling on breaking bad for $40k a pound? Well for this to be worth 4 billion they would have to sell for $330k a pound. In Thailand. Yeah BS number
they can navigate without starlink, they were watching tentacle porn

It was for porn. GPS works fine.
$4billion worth of meth?? That’s a fuck ton of catalytic converters!!
Iono but maybe letting one ketamine addled tech bro conglomerate so much power and influence he can singlehandedly affect wars and international politics and economies was …bad?

This just in: Starlink’s new tagline ‘Connecting you to the world… even if it’s full of illegal activities.’ LOL
Now we see how Elon tusk makes his money! Lol
I bet they used pens and paper too – and to think kids are being taught this in schools!
Deep sea navigation?
Headline: Elon Musk involved in International Meth Smuggling Ring
So, Elon got a cut?
Why do people want to do meth?
damn i feel sorry for anyone who thinks this headline makes sense
I find the amount of drugs much more interesting that the headline about starlink.
