This Is How to Sneak Oil Into North Korea

    Ship-to-ship transfers help obscure cargo origin, destination
    Identity of cargo’s seller hidden under layers of ownership

Donald Trump’s desire to squeeze Kim Jong Un’s regime risks being undermined by the furtive maneuvers of oil tankers at sea.

The enforcement of international measures limiting sales to North Korea -- part of an effort to force Kim to abandon nuclear weapons -- is becoming near impossible because suppliers of illicit fuel are using an old oil-trading practice that helps obscure its origin and destination.

Ship-to-ship transfers, when cargoes are pumped from one tanker to another in the ocean, are legal and typically used to break up large oil shipments into parcels on smaller vessels. But they can also be used as a trick that makes it difficult to track supplies, and have been barred by the United Nations for sales to North Korea.

I suggested a different avatar, but he thought he'd get kicked out of the forum for it.  So that plan fell through.

After Hutchison (51) became aware of Stodden’s age (16), he told her mother, Krista, who had monitored their online exchanges, and was aware of their relationship and their age difference, that he would cease his relationship with Stodden if her parents disapproved. Her parents, citing Stodden’s "devout Christianity", allowed her to make her own decision.


Someone in AL is so damned jealous.

Roy Moore-approved!  (She married a 50-year-old when she was 16.)
