(DS9 episode: "The Magnificent Ferengi") In 2376, Quark heard that Balancar's new Prime Minister had raised tariffs for all exports from the planet, driving up the cost of syrup of squill. This turned out not to be accurate and Ro Laren threatened to arrest him for fraud if he sold overpriced squill to a customer. (DS9 novel: Ferenginar: Satisfaction is Not Guaranteed)
