He was. I even go futher and believe that he was at least compromised because he took some money from N. Korean regime over the years. It is on the record that he took $50K(?) from the regime. One of his minion, Suh Kyung-won, made a secret trip to N. Korea and met the late Kim Il-sung, the former leader of N. Korea, came back with that pocket money and delivered it to Kim Dae-jung. The minion went to jail for this but Kim Dae-jung got away.

If I say this in public, 30% of S. Korean population, Kim Dae-jung's core constituency, will jump up and try to kill me.:) To them, he is a god, who is above reproach at all times.

For the foul-play buffs here, here is something to ponder on. The following picture shows the window from which Mr. Chung was supposed to fall to his death. It is 38 inch wide, 21.6 inch high. It can be opened to allow 15 inch high openings at maximum. Isn't it rather too small for an adult to jump out of?

The presumed path of his fall:
