ARTICLE: "China Warns Lenders on Influx of Fake $100 Bills," by Gordon Fairclough, Wall Street Journal, 24 March 2006, p. B4.
The supernotes are coming! The supernotes are coming!
North Korea's efforts on top-flight counterfeiting of U.S. currency is starting to ring some warning bells even in China, the main target, quick frankly, of such activities. Why? Easiest system to penetrate and fool.
Beijing will continue to get screwed by Pyongyang until it grows up on the subject and begins to realize that what Kim costs them financially is not outweighed by what tidbits he may offer them diplomatically.
Meanwhile the U.S. lays the groundwork for criminal proceedings against Kim. To hell with waiting on the UN and let's get off the WMD fixation. We didn't nail Capone on his guns and murder, but on his tax evasion. So let's begin the U.S. legal proceedings on Kim right now, so when we eventually bring that freakish little monster to trial we've amassed all the right evidence.
You know, they hang economic criminals of this sort in Beijing--regularly.
