Report: Kim Jong Un is draining his slush fund over nuclear missile tests

North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un loves showing off the nation's ballistic missile and nuclear weapon tests.

But according to a new report, the constant testing has depleted a slush fund the dictator uses to run his people.

"Due to Kim Jong Un’s extravagant spending, the slush fund from his father, Kim Jong Il, is running out," a source told Radio Free Asia this week. "It won’t be easy to control North Korea’s high-level executives, who are [cunning] like raccoons."

The report details that about 100,000 North Koreans are working outside of the country, sending back nearly half a billion dollars each year.

They apparently get that money through several illicit activities like counterfeiting and drug production.

The report also says the rogue nation’s participation in this year’s Winter Olympics in South Korea is actually a way to receive charity money for the fund.

This report comes after the U.S. again tightened sanctions against the hermit nation this week, cracking down on nine entities, 16 people and six North Korean ships accused of helping North Korea's weapons programs.

"Treasury continues to systematically target individuals and entities financing the Kim regime and its weapons programs, including officials complicit in North Korean sanctions evasion schemes," U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement. "The U.S. government is targeting illicit actors in China, Russia, and elsewhere who are working on behalf of North Korean financial networks, and calling for their expulsion from the territories where they reside."
