north korea at it again

I stumbled upon this bizarre article from the BBC today, with the headline US says N Korea forged dollars. The gist is that in the late eighties, the government of North Korea produced a bunch of counterfeit $100 US bills, which were "transported worldwide by North Korean individuals acting as ostensible government officials".

I mean, when will that crazy country ever learn? Now they're counterfeiting money from other countries! ...Or they were, maybe, in the eighties. I'd accuse Kim Jong Il of being behind all this, if he had come to power before 1994. (A pretty convenient alibi, if you ask me.)
