The part about donating $200K to his mother in case the kid was detained would have put me off straight away. The people making the request were clearly willing to put the kid in danger of arrest for frivolous reasons. The student should have known NoKo has absolutely no sense of humor about foreigners (or their own people) breaking their laws.
Yeah he really fucked up big time. I still hate the idea of an American citizen being locked up tehre that long. Damn though what an idiot.
