The arms were traded for cocaine, and the cocaine flown back to Arkansas on the return trip and then distributed across the United States.

Later, when trading with Iran commenced, the proceeds were used to purchase additional arms for the Contras operating in the mountains of Nicaragua. When these transactions became public a Special Prosecutor, Lawrence Walsh, was appointed. Walsh then prosecuted a number of high-level Reagan Administration officials. Not generally known at the time, two future Presidents, George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton, were heavily involved.<ref>[https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/sociopol_cia05.htm#THE_BOSS_HOG_LIST_ The Boss Hogg List]</ref> The matter ended later with President George H.
