Room 39, known as the Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, is believed to have been established by North Korea’s first leader, Kim-Il Sung, in the 1970s. The chamber was created to manage the resources left behind by Kim II-Sung after his death, but over time it took on a different and darker role. The 39th Chamber’s function is surrounded by rumors of illicit money transfers from Switzerland, forgery, drug smuggling, and the country’s location as the site of nuclear weapons tests.

Today, it is estimated that Chamber 39 generates between $500 million and $1 billion annually for the Kim family and the ruling class. However, the question of how he obtains this income contains a rather complex answer.

Fake Dollars That Are Almost Impossible to Spot
Known as the “super dollar” and almost impossible to distinguish from the real fake dollars It is also printed in Room 39. The North Korean government amassed a huge fortune with these fake currencies and even influenced the US market, forcing the US government to print new dollars.
The report prepared by David Rose for Vanity Fair magazine contains very interesting details about the mysterious Room 39. Investigations into this private government chamber shed light on the corrupt activities within it. During Rose’s work, he interviewed a person convicted of forgery and conspiracy. This prisoner claimed that the excellent quality counterfeit $100 bills used as evidence on him came from abroad before being laundered in Las Vegas casinos.
These banknotes were made of such high quality that they were almost indistinguishable to the eye, and they stunned American officials. It was clear that a large organization was involved in producing these fake hundred dollar bills that had the microprinting characteristics of real US Dollar bills. Moreover, these counterfeit bills were even able to bypass anti-counterfeit systems in Las Vegas casinos.
This incident, which took place in 2009, was not limited to Chen Chiang Liu, the prisoner interviewed by David Rose. The laundered bills represented only a small part of the counterfeiting operation in Las Vegas. The origin of these counterfeit coins was not limited to Room 39 in North Korea, but was also associated with the financing of intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons. South Korean authorities, along with various institutions affiliated with European and American countries, believed that the source of the money used to finance the nuclear programs was the proceeds of a multi-billion dollar criminal organization coming from Room 39.
However, since North Korea is one of the most closed countries in the world, revealing its secret activities was an extremely challenging task. The country’s strict policy of silence and culture of fear prevented bringing to light the illegal activities carried out in Room 39. For this reason, even those convicted of forgery preferred to serve their sentences quietly and avoided cooperating with the prosecution.
US-based operations carried out in recent years indicate that Room 39 plays an active role in a wide range of crimes, from not only printing counterfeit money but also producing counterfeit cigarettes and drugs. According to American experts, North Korea, struggling with economic difficulties, continued these illegal activities carried out through the 39th Chamber to finance its nuclear programs and ballistic missile projects.

This mysterious room is run as a structure with the sole purpose of providing financial income to the Kim family. The room is considered North Korea’s “black box.” Therefore, the only consequence that those who spy on the contents of the room without permission can face is death. Moreover, the families of those who entered the room without permission are also exposed to this tragic end.
