They take all the (inflated) amounts at each stage of the supply chain and add them together to arrive at a meaningless number.
That total gets added to the cash at each stage in the supply as criminal property received, and it is all added together.
Then they allocate that total to every single person involved in all stages of the supply chain, and multiply it by the number of people involved to arrive at an even more meaningless number.
By the way, I'm not joking. This is how police maths works.
