Briton Scott Stammers pleads guilty to North Korean drug smuggling plot

The North Korean methamphetamines were described as dangerously pure by American prosecutors.

Friday 28 August 2015 03.10 BST

A British man pleaded guilty in New York on Thursday to conspiring to import 100kg of dangerously pure North Korean methamphetamines into the United States, American prosecutors said.

Scott Stammers, 46, was one of five defendants arrested by authorities in Thailand in September 2013 on suspicion of preparing to ship the drugs by boat.

He faces 10 years to life in prison when sentenced at a future date by a US judge. Three of the other defendants pleaded guilty earlier this month.

The fifth, 32-year-old Philip Shackels, is scheduled to go on trial in New York on 21 September.

Manhattan US attorney Preet Bharara thanked authorities in Liberia, Romania and Thailand for assisting with the US investigation.

“Stammers’ scheme ended not with the North Korean methamphetamine flooding American streets as he had intended, but rather with a guilty plea in a Manhattan federal court,” Bharara said in a statement.

Defendants Ye Tiong Tan Lim and Kelly Allan Reyes Peralta had belonged to a criminal gang, which had claimed to have stockpiled one ton of North Korean methamphetamines in the Philippines for storage, court documents say.

Anymore pure than the meth coming into America from other countries?
Would calling it communist meth be anymore scary or is the Red Scare over?

Tonight we have breaking news! North Korea attempts to invade America! Their weapons of choice, meth.

Too bad for Scott but how else do you think the DPRK makes money?

It's more than money. From a geopolitical standpoint flooding the US gives NK the benefit of both earning revenue while destabilizing an enemy population, along with it's social programs and economy. This goes on all over the world, but it's the US that is most famous for it's "war on drugs". The drugs themselves are neutral and inanimate, it's the people who face the consequences and reap the rewards.

Yep. Another NK export is counterfeit US currency.

NK isn't allowed to smuggle illegal drugs into America. Only the American government is allowed to do that.

Nonsense. Smuggle as much meth as you want into America it doesn't destabilize the nation. You can't take down your enemies by flooding them with drugs.
NK does this for the sole reason of money.

MKUltra was sure trying to learn how to destabilize enemies of the state with drugs.

I think flooding America with drugs is similar to pigs at a buffet.  Everyone just goes hog wild, can't control themselves and eats everything up.
