And this has nothing to do with a crackdown and being stricter and watching things closer?

Wow, Koreans know how to do the best unbiased research I have ever seen.

But RR have any of these shady deals helped your cause to be paid on par with tenure track nuclear physics professors at MIT?

Aside from the shot at RR Homer I think the real issue is that this is a culture of corruption. Land of the white envelope they say.
Korea could be so much better if they cleaned their act up. They have come a long way in such a short time. Imagine what they could do if all this was at least seriously addressed instead of half-heartedly.

The money laundering is all because of ESl teachers and our international ATM cards. Good thing we cant get them anymore.

Corruption involving money transactions...you don't say...thats a shocking revelation.

btw it was not a shot at RR...more of a running gag.
