Synopsis: White American college student took a 5 day tour of North Korea, (allegedly) tried to steal a poster, and got sentenced to 15 years in jail. But he got traded back to the US because he is in a coma and NK probably got paid off by the US govt.

In a tearful news conference in Pyongyang after his arrest, Mr. Warmbier said he had stolen the poster because an acquaintance had offered to give him a used car worth $10,000 in exchange for it. “I made the worst mistake of my life,” he said. It is unclear whether his statement was genuine or coerced.
