Episode 43 How does North Korea make money illegally?
b'Quite some time ago I\\u2019ve received a couple of suggestions to cover the question of how North Korea earns money illicitly. Since this is a massive topic, it took me a while to figure out what kind of episode I want to make while answering the question. Hence, today, I will try to respond to this question by focusing on the main areas of North Korean criminal activities that earn cash for the regime \\u2013 ranging from drug trade to counterfeiting. Apart from that, I\\u2019ll touch upon the organizational structure of that system and mention other types of illegal activities that might not be bringing as much cash but are still sometimes brought up in the context of discussions about the DPRK.'
