I dont think kims crime division generates nearly enough money for it having immunity and access to a captive population of intelligent koreans. They should be generating way more than just 6 billion. They could be doing things such as making ships pay protection money idk.To put it into perspective the cartel makes 50 billion a year.
I don't think we can actually know how much they are making, estimates could be way off. That said I think if the cartels are making way more its because they have access to the US and Europe. North Korea meanwhile mostly just has China and a few SEA countries who are a lot poorer both in absolute terms and per capita.
