Room 39 is a secretive organization in North Korea. Supposedly, the organization contains over a dozen bank accounts in China and Switzerland. Room 39 was established by Kim Il-Sung in the late 1970’s, but the origin of its name remains unknown. Some experts believe that Room 38 was merged into Room 39. But in 2010, they split because of issues with foreign currency. The organization is estimated to rake in between $500 million and $1 billion each year.
