Sounds like the Taiwanese police were under some pressure to make a big bust so they pulled out a box of cheap cables they acquired from the local markets and made up some public service maths to look good.

Then they valued it like US drug cops. Oh yeah, one bag of misc. cables from someone's junk drawer, that's, uhh, $2,600,000, street value.
