It is said that said person has a collection of 20.000 movies.
Now, how does this bankrupt get those movies?

A friend of mine who lives in Warsaw/Poland told me this story:

The old North Korean embassy in Warsaw was very huge and had 200 employees from North Korea which is quite a lot for a country that is not known to be a diplomatic heavyweight to cultivate the North Korean-Polish relations.
My friend’s wife, a smart Polish woman, worked for Warner Bros. Poland back then. It was common, that some North Koreans show up in her office to ask her to borrow Hollywood movies to them which they said they wanted to show in the embassy.
After some time the boss of Warner Bros Poland received information that the borrowed movies get copied in the embassy for Kim Jong Il at home.
The boss then decided to put an end to this.

My friend’s wife was the one to deliver the bad news. She had her office full of little North Korean men who were crying and begging her for some more movies!
How sad is that?
Did not they know that video stores do exist or could they not afford the lending fee?
How many employees does the embassy of North Korea in your home country have btw?

Another friend of mine works as a doctor in the German army and he told me this:
One morning a computer was lying at the entrance of their military camp in the Afghan wilderness.
It was mined, a perfidious booby trap!
Of course when you find a computer before your door one morning, it is only natural that you want to try out, if it still works, because then you would keep it because computers are expensive in Afghanistan.
A very old trick actually: the Trojan horse.

Not everyone has a bomb defuser at home.
Keep your eyes peeled and be careful when Kim Jong IL wants to borrow things from you. That guy wears platform shoes and is a fraud and movie pirate.

The cost for each DVD would be more than the average income of a normal North Korean.:doh: I remember that a American POW who defected to North Korea ended up playing the bad American in all the movies!!

He also ordereed the kidnapping of Japanese (from Japan) to help teach the language to North Koreans. May of them were considered dead, untill they were revealed after 20+ years in North Korea. I believe many of them returned home after Japan put pressure on North Korea.
