Room 39
Room 39 (officially Central Committee Bureau 39 of the Workers' Party of Korea, also referred to as Bureau 39, Division 39, or Office 39) is a secretive North Korean party organization that seeks ways to maintain the foreign currency slush fund for the country's leaders. The organization is estimated to bring in between USD $500 million and USD $1 billion per year or more and is involved in illegal activities, such as counterfeiting U.S. $100 bills, producing controlled substances (including the synthesis of methamphetamine and the conversion of morphine into more potent opiates such as heroin), and international insurance fraud.
