A SYDNEY man caught with half a kilogram of crystal meth in his undies has been jailed for at least 13 months.
John Layoun, 34, pleaded guilty to trafficking a controlled substance and dealing with the proceeds of crime.
Supreme Court Chief Justice Ewan Crawford said Layoun caught a commercial flight from Sydney to Launceston with around a kilogram of the drug -- also known as ice -- on January 18.
Despite it being about 59 per cent pure, the local purchaser rejected half of the shipment and would only pay for half.
Layoun was caught at Launceston airport the next day with 467 grams of the drug and $133,633 in cash.
Chief Justice Crawford said the tiler was in financial difficulties and was not a drug user himself.
He said the drugs had a street value of up to $934,000.
"The accused was involved in a drug deal of considerable value, at least as far as this court is concerned," he said.
He sentenced Layoun to two year in jail, with a minimum term of 13 months. He ordered the cash be forfeited to the crown.
