Jade’s Instagram account suggests she thought she had been hired for a legitimate job as an “international package shipper,” with a salary of $5,000 per trip.

She has a nose for sniffing out new recruits.

There used to be a legitimate version of “international package shipper” jobs called air couriers, though the compensation for those was heavily discounted or sometimes even free last minute flights abroad. Good way to travel if you were a student or on a budget. Stricter unaccompanied baggage rules post 9/11 pretty much put a stop to this.

“were ordered to check in every two minutes after landing and told to use currency serial numbers as a password for picking up and dropping off their delivery”…
Naah, nothing strange about that! /s
Greed is a hell of a drug.

The part I don’t get is how the cocaine got into her suitcase without her knowing? Like if the job is to bring a suitcase somewhere you 100% open it to check it there isn’t anything illegal in it.

Sounded like a lot of red flags off the get go.

She gonezo

So a stranger reached out to her on Insta DM, never once spoke to her in person, sent her a package to deliver, she didn’t know what was in the package, and was instructed to hand it over to some unknown person halfway across the world?
Is critical thinking not a thing anymore?

She knew what she was doing was sketchy.
She just pretended not to know for the sake of the money.
She did double-check that she was not being trafficked, but drugs were OK.

on top of that 5k is a steal for whoever this is to ship it in. Probably cut down when in HK and doubled in size, so looking at 40 mil in street value for 20k loss

Yeeaaaahhhh. Somebody failed teaching these young people some basic life lessons. Everything about this screams drug mule to start with.

Perhaps we should teach critically thinking in our high schools.

I am currently a youth coach for two very different sports that attract very diff ethnic and socio economic backrounds, I will tell you with certainty that every single kid I coach is a complete fucking moron. Zero responsibility, zero credibility, zero respect, zero emotional stability.
The very best students and players are still what I would consider terrible kids. We are cooked, an entire generation of the worst possible future adults. The parents are fucking awful people who have zero control or ability to parent.
When I say every kid I mean it.

Four Canadians have been arrested in Hong Kong in the past four months, carrying a total of nearly 100 kilograms of cocaine in their checked suitcases, arriving in the country on separate flights.

This, folks, is what happens when critical thinking skills decline.

The way the last sentence of this article is worded makes the situation sound better than it is. Hong Kong doesn’t require actual knowledge of the contents of a package. There’s a statutory presumption (so she’s got a reverse onus to deal with) *plus* Hong Kong allows trafficking convictions based on willful blindness.
Strong likelihood she’s facing a very lengthy sentence.
