What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

I mean, suddenly you were partying with all the people you read about in the magazines and stuff like that.

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

And I know I said I didn't see myself as a criminal, but...

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

The fact is, it was criminal.

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

The sentence for dealing drug is quite high.

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

So at one point, I start to think about if I should survive in that business.

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

I had to rethink the whole structure.

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

So I thought, if I'm buying from somebody in Denmark, I don't know who he's buying from.

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

I don't know who he's selling to, and that's a risk.

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

So I start thinking about, what if I can bring it into the country?

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

Then I have...

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

Then I don't have that problem.

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

And what if I send to the end user?

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

So in the end, that was how I got my business, got pure cocaine into the country and sold to the end users.

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

Yeah, I mean, that would be a smart thing to do.

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

But...

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

The thing is, I didn't have an implant.

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

The reason why I got caught was because at one point my connection outside Denmark was caught and then I started to buying until I found a new one from a guy in Denmark and that was how it all started.

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

I broke my own rules and he was importing a lot of stuff.

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

So it was a big case about 50 kilos of cocaine.

What I survived
Becoming Mr James: Undercover Inside North Korea

Yeah, they wanted to charge me for 8.7 kilos of cocaine.
