Because the military is already doing it, check the Venezuela/Colombia border. 10x profits as soon as it's crossed. I doubt they'd want some competition.
Sure, but is checking the tanks of every fishing trawler leaving the harbor feasible?
What if the trawler dragged a submerged "balloon" filled with fuel? Such an "external" tank was used in the past to transport fresh water.
What if the subsidized fuel were used to power generators that produce electricity to mine Bitcoin? I read stories of BTC-miners in Venezuela getting caught because they were consuming too much electricity from the grid. However, is every droplet of subsidized fuel tracked by the state?
