This “travel group” in China told him it was the hip thing to do, all the college kids do it and that it was perfectly safe. This “travel group” is nothing more than a fishing expedition to lure people to that hellhole and if you can believe it, it was started by a Brit who no doubt is involved $$$ with the Norks. I hope the Warmbier family sue the living effin s**t out of this guy, and what is England doing about him? This is someone providing hostages for a criminal regime......
