THE GOLDMAN TRIANGLE


 The Goldman Triangle (Burmese: Shwe-Tri gan; Chinese: ; pinyin: jīn sān jiǎo; Thai: สามเหลี่ยมทองคำ; Vietnamese: Tam giác Vàng) is one of Asia's two main illicit opium-producing areas. It is an area of around 950,000 km that overlaps the mountains of four countries of Southeast Asia: Myanmar (Burma), Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. Along with Afghanistan in the Golden Crescent and Pakistan, it has been one of the most extensive opium-producing areas of Asia and of the world since the 1920s. Most of the world's heroin came from the Goldman Triangle until the early 21st century when Afghanistan became the world's largest producer.

International "market makers" have been engaged in writing forward delivery contracts and running the local futures exchange for many years. But there is only one intermediation syndicate that is 2Big2Fail...This is their story.
