This is Korea and these people are Korean. They have been thieves all along. My friend was here in the late 50s who caught the Koreans tossing full drums of fuel into the river so they could float off base. This is nothing new, I am under the impression that these are the most dishonest people I have ever known. I don’t trust anybody and much less someone who is Korean. And thats the bottom line.

Mrs. Kim was back at the DHL a week after her arrest. This was in March 2005, she still is on post just about everyday, DHL, Navy Club and Commiskeys. I wonder how much she has made since then. Everyone knows whats been going on, just ask LTG Campbell.

I wonder if she will start a protest to keep the machines on post! lol We all know she stands the most to lose if the slot machines are banned. MWR will have to get teirs funded.

CNN should do a story on the illegal activities that USFK has let go on for years.

I like how Roxanne at DHL told CSM Wheeler that they do random checks 6 times a day. Maybe they just check the Americans only.

Its sad it took Aaron Walsh to die before they even looked into getting rid of these gambling rooms.

A lot of people defend the illegal gambling and black marketing as making money for MWR programs and the like but the way I look at is that why should people like this woman make such absurd amounts of money when soldiers work hard all day and don’t get anywhere near the amount of money this woman made. Yes she got busted but we all know she is not the only one and knowing Korea justice she probably just got a slap on the hand and kept most of her money.

Also allowing this activity encourages corruption of the gate guards and base employees and creates a widespread perception of corruption in the upper echelons of USFK.
