Stupid argument since those countries use Telegram for money laundering



North Korean meth is sold in bulk on Telegram channels in South Korea. Drug abuse is out of control and crypto currency is used by NK to sell drugs to SK and use funds for its regime.


How do they get it across the well-guarded border by the way?


Since it's NK responsible for manufacturing the meth, I'm sure they have established easy methods to get it into SK, China, and shipping out of ports in NK and into other countries.


Probably on or under the surrounding waters, at a guess. NK smuggles all sorts of stuff in and out of the country.

Through intermediaries, usually Vietnam or the Philippines
