why would it be illegal to sell "a substance represented to be a controlled substance"? People sell snake oil items all the time. Why does the controlled substance side of the equation matter? You're dumb for partaking in meth in the first place, and dumb should hurt.

to answer your question, I'd say he's Stupidly Brilliant for the salt side. I don't know about the money laundering side.

keeping a large police force, catching crimimals, processing them, housing them, courtrooms, lawyers, more and more tech, databases, labs, police cars and equipment, helicopters, weapons, all the buildings and training...........HUGE business

we wouldn't need so many jobs and so much money taken from us and redistributed if we 'solved' crimes

We could get rid of at least 100MM people/jobs if we just got seriosly efficient.
