They take out insurance on helicopters and ships and other expensive property and collect when the property gets “destroyed,” which happens surprisingly often. The Korean Foreign Insurance Company, the only insurance company in the country, is in charge of finding out whether the claims are fake. Guess what? Somehow, they’re always legitimate. In one sad case, the claim was real. A train collision at the Ryongchon station caused flammable cargo to explode, killing over 3,000 people. Kim Jong Il, the president at the time, ordered North Korea's railway chief and several other transportation officials to be executed. The things you insure aren’t supposed to really get destroyed. I’m trying to figure out, why would anyone insure these guys?! 7 - Hiding prisoners of war This crime has nothing to do with money, and everything to do with keeping secrets and spreading lies. By the end of the Korean War it’s estimated that anywhere from 50,000 to 70,000 prisoners had been taken by North Korea. The issue of unaccounted South Korean POWs from the Korean War has been in dispute since the Korean Armistice Agreement in 1953. Less than 9,000 South Korean prisoners were ever returned, and just fewer than 14,000 prisoners were known to have been killed. A few prisoners voluntarily joined the North Korean army, but the vast majority were organized into “construction brigades” and forced to work in coal mines, factories, and farm villages in the northern-most parts of the country. After the war, prisoners that had been held by the Chinese and Soviets were handed over to North Korea and suffered the same fate. According to accounts of prisoners who escaped after 50 years, at least 500 have survived and are still being held today. International Humanitarian Law requires that prisoners of war must be released and repatriated without delay after a war is over, but obeying international laws is not something North Korea is very familiar with. To date, the status of 19,409 soldiers hasn’t been confirmed. 6 – Illegal Drug Trades For a communist country, North Korea has quite a few entrepreneurs willing to take a chance at running a business for profit. A former State Security Department agent said that every government agency was given an annual quota of foreign currency they had to earn. The Government didn’t care where the money came from, so officials were urged to be creative. North Korea's illegal drug trade dates back to the 1970s and includes the manufacturing, selling, and trafficking of illicit drugs, as well as counterfeit pharmaceutical drugs. Production began in the Hamkyung and Yangkang Provinces, particularly in the village of Yonsah, where Kim Il-Sung sanctioned the creation of an opium farm. In order to provide a cover of legitimacy, the North Korean government uses front companies to conduct its illegal activities. One such company, the Ryugyong Corporation, holds large tracts of land within the country for the sole purpose of growing opium. Each year the company sent tens of thousands of dollars in cash to Kim Jong Il for his use. Unlike most companies, Ryugyong Corporation has no import or export quota restrictions. Reports of methamphetamine use in North Korea surfaced in the late 90’s. The production of "meth" in North Korea is done by chemists and other underemployed scientists. Methamphetamine is actually given as a medication within North Korea, which obviously helped to fuel its spread. As the production and sale of opium declined in the mid-2000s, methamphetamine became much more widespread. To bring in much needed cash, the international meth trade began, spreading first to China, and with the drug being made in state-run laboratories.
