vs cheapest listed foreign price
Four steps, one loop — the spread funds the next float.
Mules fly and buy abroad. A member flies out, buys Xanax at the foreign shop price, and flies home.
Cheapest listed source is usually Japan or South Africa
The faction buys it in. The fund pays the mule 10% under the top trader bid — still well above what the mule paid abroad.
Currently $742,500 per Xanax
Members buy it back cheaper. Any of SoT's 46 members can buy from the fund at 8% under the bazaar average — about $25,000 less per Xanax than under the previous 5% sell discount.
Currently $759,000 per Xanax
The spread stays in the fund. The gap between buy and sell is the faction's margin, recycled into the next round of float. At 10% / 8% that gap is deliberately thin — more of the saving goes to members.
Currently $16,500 per Xanax turned over

Mule economics are unchanged — the buy side stayed at 10%, so mules have still never lost money against the cheapest listed foreign price. The shrink comes entirely out of the faction margin. Simulation: 2,000 fund paths, each day priced by resampling the historical hourly margins, $100M start, buys matched by sales.
Buys matched by sales · average margin $19,477 at 10% / 8% · starting fund $100M.
Fund value after 90 days, starting from $100M. Volume is the real constraint: with 46 members, sustained demand decides which bar the fund actually lands on.

Projector uses the historical average margin of $19,477 per unit at 10% / 8% and assumes every buy is matched by a sale. It does not compound float growth or model unsold inventory.
Each test ran over the snapshots complete at the time.
| Buy / sell discount | What the data said | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| 10% / 1% (original) | Healthy margin, but members barely beat the bazaar — weak reason to buy from the fund. | Replaced |
| 20% / 10% | Margin averaged $87,063, but flyers only profited in 32 of 328 snapshots — and 0 of the latest 100. Nobody flies at a loss. | Rejected |
| 5% / 10% | Spread inverted: both anchors sit near $825k, so the margin was negative in all 330 snapshots (avg −$39,653). | Rejected |
| 10% / 5% | Margin averaged $44,890, mules profit in every snapshot, members beat the bazaar. Sound formula — replaced only to pass more of the saving to members by shrinking the faction margin. | Replaced |
| 10% / 8% | Margin averages $19,477 (2.6% of buy) — members pay about $25,000 less per Xanax than at 10% / 5%, mule economics unchanged. In 2,000 simulated fund paths at 25 / day, none ended below the $100M start at day 90. The margin floor was lowered to 2% of buy to match the thinner spread. | Adopted |
