Eight SKorean Men Arrested for Trying to Smuggle Gold in Their…Butts

Jan. 16, 2012 7:20am Jonathon M. Seidl

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korean customs officials say they have arrested eight men over a scheme to allegedly smuggle gold out of the country by hiding it in their rectums.

The Korea Customs Service said Monday the men allegedly transformed $260,000 in gold bars into small beads and smuggled them in their rectums to Japan two times in 2010 to avoid import taxes.

South Korea says Japanese custom officials caught the men on their second attempt and sent them home after imposing fines. Later, one of the suspects allegedly orchestrated an unsuccessful bid to smuggle gold bars from Mongolia to Hong Kong using a similar method.

Meanwhile, South Korean officials gathered evidence against them at home. They say the suspects recently admitted to the smuggling after initial denials.

Was this gold stolen? Or was it their own?

I’d be kinda pissed if somebody wanted a portion of my personal property while I carried it from point A to point B. Not so sure I’ll be shoving my personal property up my **** any time soon though.

There are ‘sinkers’ and there are ‘floaters’. I’d say they would definitely be dumping ‘sinkers’.

  What a thoughtful, intelligent, well-constructed response.
  
  They tried to smuggle the items into Japan without paying import taxes.

  What if they suddenly developed a bad case of Diarreah on the flight and couldn’t hold it? That would have been a “GOLDEN” opportunity for the dude who empties the holding tank on the aircraft.
