Hmm. Kind of like the reverse of the bit in Charles Stross' "Merchant Princes" novel series where the trans-dimensional smugglers donate to the Partnership for a Drug-Free America to help keep drugs illegal and the price up.

Except your example is real, just like back in the 80s when the govt (CIA?) helped smuggle in cocaine.
