Tell me about it. The Japanese have not even gotten many of their kidnap victims back from North Korea, just innocent Japanese (usually young, sometimes in couples) who were walking along the beaches of Northwest Japan and were just snatched off by infiltrating commando spies from NK, and spirited off to that hellhole in fast speedboats, to be forced to teach Japanese. There are a lot of them up there whom Pyongyang says are dead. Some have been up there for over 30 years now; their elderly parents still crying and hoping to see them again before they themselves die.

"A North Korean general who is a confidant of the country's leader, Kim Jong-il, has been identified by U.S. and foreign intelligence agencies as a key figure in the covert production and distribution of high-quality counterfeit $100 bills called supernotes" Obama wants him alive, so he can hire him to work with ACORN in his Chicago "community development" office with his terrorist pal. Obama will show him what his government funded laundering network can do.

Decades old problem....When we took down the poor Cuban construction workers aka Cuban Spec ops in Grenada they had forged US currency on em. As well did Noriega’s officers and whippin boys in Panama. Even during the evacuation of Saigon we discovered duffel bags filled with new forged US cash on the evacuees that were flown to the PI.
Best forgery effort in US history was a old man who was making 1 dollar bills, living in rentals, making just enough for his meals, bus fare and minimum needs in his old age. Moved around every few months and was never caught . After his death they found the plates and presses etc ......

That’s not fair. Only the US Government should be allowed to counterfeit money.

Interesting, but not really news. As the article states, it’s been known for 20 years that the Norks are the prime purveyors of fake $100 notes. The article is good historical documentation about the problem though. I wonder whether they are able to copy the newer bill technology that the treasury has implimented over the last few years. It would be impressive if they were able to do a good job of faking the inks, paper “watermarks” and embedded denomination “tapes” that we’ve seen over the last few years.

Perhaps the N. Koreans consider that as no more than their just due for the "comfort women," Korean women forced into sexual servitude by Japanese forces during WWII

Hope he paid his dues to the Allied Printing Trades Council.
He probably cost the country less than his SSI did.

Nah. The Norks could care less about ancient history. They’d snatch Mother Teresa if they thought it would profit them. They’re just bad dudes. They see no problem with blowing up airliners either (note that the airline had nothing to do with “comfort women”). They’re the world’s first terrorists with nukes. Unfortunately, they won’t be the last.

The Fed is *counterfeiting* trillions of dollars as we speak.

They why didn’t they South Koreans do it? They suffered just as much under Imperial Japan (whose leaders we hung) as the Norkies.

Hopefully our own Department of Treasury can print $100 bills faster than this guy’s operation...It would be a shame to find out that someone else is doing a better job of devaluing the dollar faster than our own government.(cynicism off)

I have seen these 'supernotes' as recently as 8 months ago. They are good...very very good. And yes, they incorporate the new security measures at a very high level of expertise. These notes pass all of the mechanical checking devices and require scrutiny by a very well-trained expert.
Scary good queer.

There's also an IRA/Iranian/Russian connection to all of this. It's run by a well-known, and unrepentant IRA Marxist terrorist named Sean Garland. I saw him interviewed for a documentary about this subject. He openly admitted it, and Interpol was after him for years. They caught him in ‘05, but he's out on bail and awaiting extradition to the US for trial. Of course, his leftist Eurotrash and IRA thug supporters all claim that the whole thing is really just a plot to provide pretext for a US attack of N. Korea, and that the “superbills” in question are actually printed in a “secret CIA facility”. As my kids would say: "Whatever".
Here's a link to a Nov. ‘05 article about the same issue: http://www.rferl.org/content/article/1063283.html
