You gotta feel for the poor fella - i reckon like his dad he's just ron'ry and rooking for ruhv...

But if they're gonna get all imaginative with the money laundering why not just arrange for Nam to turn up at some casino in Macau put all his chips on red and rig it so he miraculously wins 24 mills? I mean, it's not like he ain't got the briefcase to carry the cash back home in already, right?

Alternatively they could set up a hot date for him with a Thai ladyboy posing as a Japanese working girl, then drop leaflets with photos of said encounter printed on them all over North K.

Bombs away: Nam Suk Kok.

Sigh

Since when has Wikipedia been a legitimate reference?

There's nothing wrong with acknowledging Wikipedia as a link to find the real reference, but to directly quote WP is just atrocious...

That's quite poor. There are not even any references or citations in the wikipedia article itself.

Research, Burke.

Get the lady in, where, Philly?, to print up 25 of her million dollar bills. That should be easy to move.

I can only think of three casinos in Las Vegas that might have the wherewithal to move that kind of money. Not the big ones like Ceasar's or the Wynn. Smaller, "family" run establishment. I won't name any, but one has its namesake in France along the Med and another is named after the edge of America in the 1800s.

419 email?
