In a follow-up to this story from March 2009 (where Brian in Chŏllanam-do describes his own inclination for murder! Murder!!!) about this news, it looks like the Korean-American couple behind a Ponzi scheme that was ripping off other Korean immigrants have been caught: Federal agents have arrested a couple that ran an Irvine investment firm, saying they were the architects ...

I been saying this for months how interesting it is the similarities between the prior Roh Moo-hyun government in South Korea and the current Yukio Hatoyama government in Japan. Well like Robert Koehler mentions over at the Marmot’s Hole, not even the Roh government was as wacky as this: YUKIHISA FUJITA is an influential member of the ruling Democratic Party ... [Link]
