Anchor: A general who was in charge of managing North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's overseas slush funds is said to be in China after escaping from his country, and is seeking political asylum with two other North Koreans in a country other than South Korea. A source said that the three were separated from a diplomat from Pyongyang, who is seeking his own defection to another country. Here is Kim Bum-soo with KBS' exclusive report.
Report: It has been made known that a general escaped from North Korea and is seeking political asylum in a country other than South Korea.
A source in China, who works in collaboration with Seoul government officials, on Thursday revealed the recent defection of the general, a diplomat and two others.
The source said that the North Korean military officer was in charge of managing Kim Jong-uns slush funds in Southeast Asia.
The general was in China on a business trip when he was joined by the three other North Koreans on July 12th.
The diplomat is known to have parted ways with the group and is seeking political asylum in a country other than South Korea, while the other three are staying in China, making their own plans to defect to another country.
The latest escape marks the first known case of a North Korean general's defection from the reclusive regime. Last year, a North Korean colonel defected to the South.
The source said the four didn't choose to defect to South Korea partly because of a petition by the Lawyers for a Democratic Society filed last month for habeas corpus relief of 12 North Korean restaurant workers in China who defected to Seoul in April.
The source said that the four North Koreans decided to leave their country due to their dissatisfaction with the Kim Jong-un regime and pessimistic views about the future of the country. Kim Bum-soo, KBS World Radio News.
There's this group of Nigerians who keep sending me emails to move this kind of money...
I hope I'm not breaking the law by assisting them, they seemed so desperate .../h
Krooked Klintoon lKash ...

somebody sold them the dope

Would our own North American drug cartels ship it all the way from Mexico to North Korea?
What the South Koreans should do, is send 5000 missionaries into the country after reunification, and share the gospel with Christ.
#26 that is because you have to use a mirror to read it.
His family, friends and even his goldfish are probably dead meat at this point.
How could he carry that much money with him?
What are the chances the Chinese will keep the money and send him back?
Bring him here, I bet he’s got a lot to reveal, but I assume B. Hussein would want to protect his hero Kim Jong Un.
They all must hate their wives, children and extended famlies. But 40 million can do that to a person.
“N. Korean General Defects Seeking Political Asylum”
better than waiting around in NK to find out when he’s gonna be executed with an anti-aircraft gun.
If you knew it was coming...$40 million and taking your chances in China is better than being shot with an anti-aircraft gun.
The NK’s policy is to confiscate property and imprison three generations for the sins of one.
This limits the extent to which vendettas/revenge might play out as the nuclear family is immediately reduced to the lowest class (literally termed “hostile”) and it will take many-many generations (if ever) to return to any stature.
What bulwark? China and South Korea are practically best friends now - and they share a deep hatred and distrust of Japan. China's only interest in propping up the North Korean regime is in keeping millions of refugees from flooding north across their border. They have simply made the cold calculation that it is better for millions to suffer under the Kim tyranny than to have to deal with the mess after its fall.
This is what happens when the asians drink too much Sake.
They cannot write afterwards. They just make scrawls.

It almost sounds as if the North Koreans are the asian equivalent of Aboriginines compared to the average Australian. The tragedy is the North Korean generational meltdown was knowingly caused and prolonged, while Aboriginines are that way by nature and culture. The Abs are capable of learning and many have become integrated into the larger society. Many of the North Koreans may already have irreversible brain damage, DNA damage.
My God...didn’t realize they get THAT RIPPED over there.
