  • bullcutter, on 05/20/2008, -1/+2who smuggled them into North Korea, and why, is my question...
    • OliverTaco, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1Bull, well, supposed two lone agents. Which, given NK's internal systems seems quite dubious!
  • clcindylou, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2my guess would have to be they were not smuggled into NK but out of NK. I would also venture to say that the government had full involvement in making the drug as the value of such is in the billions i would guess. and i really find it hard to believe that anyone could make 600 pounds of methamphetamine in NK without the government knowing and allowing. do the math 600 pounds times 16 ounces = 9600 ounces with a street value in US of anywhere from 800 - 2000 usd per ounce. so 9600 x say 500 for bulk rate discounts $480,000,000 ok so 2 guys with a rough low ball estimate of 500 mil dollars worth of drugs left NK without Kim Jung Ill Knowing. I find way tooooooooo hard to believe. But one hell of a way to pay for a nuclear build hmmm....
