You got to love this appology:
“I apologize for the illegal remittance issue, which was caused by mismatch between law and reality,”[said Lee Jong-suk regarding the illegal transfers made to North Korea via Woori Bank in the Kaesong Industrial Zone]
So to paraphrase Harry Truman…”The buck never stops in reality”

A mismatch between law and reality? What a flowery, BS way of saying ‘illegal activity.’ Good to know though, that they’ve since lowered their reporting standards in order to make it easier to launder money remit payments to the brothers up North.
The other BS is when the Roh gov’t claims Kaesong helps “open N. Korea’s closed society and economy” (sure) on the one hand, then when Jay Lefkowitz questions where exactly the “special fees” the companies pay to N.K. goes, they claim that the amount of money generated by Kaesong is “insignificant.”

The “People’s Participatory Government” strikes again.
More like a perfect match between non-accountability and misappropriation to me
Apology only has one “p” BTW.
Um, doesn’t the comedy there originate in the translation and not what he actually said?
