Bureau 39, a secretive organization within North Korea's government, is responsible for generating and managing the personal wealth of Kim Jong-un and his family. Its operations are shrouded in secrecy, but it is believed to have a wide range of business interests, including arms dealing, counterfeiting, drug trafficking, and the sale of natural resources. Bureau 39 also oversees the North Korean regime's slush funds and is involved in illicit activities such as money laundering and the trading of banned luxury goods. The organization's activities provide a significant source of income for the Kim regime, allowing it to maintain its grip on power and fund its nuclear and missile programs.
