smuggling fees of 15,000 bucks=slavery 'til its paid off, some might call it indentured servitude. Its a crime either way.
" Its a crime either way."
Seems at least to be a good case for RACKETEERING (Rico Act). Will be following to see what happens, not only interstate, but international. Korean madame illegal. Human Trafficking, Slavery (paying off smugglers).
Similar case in Australia. Smuggling Heroin from Indonesia to Australia. Ten (10)student couriers were tried (Death sentence for some in Australia for trafficking Heroin) the korean lady organizer disappeared . Last I heard death and life prison sentences were being appealed. Penalty for smuggling heroin into Australia is death much of the time, yet people still do it. The Australian Students were paid $10,000 which they wanted for student tuition.
