Japanese Yakuza leader admits trying to sell nuclear material to DEA agents posing as Iranian generals
Sometimes when you play a yakuza game it’s like “man these plotlines are ridiculous”
maybe not so much
This is GTA levels of ridiculous characters.
Wait, what? Article says the guy had real plutonium. That is scary. Quantity is not specified though. Also doesn't say where the plutonium came from. He also had a bunch of what sounds like non-fissionable uranium and thorium. They hype that up some, but it is less of a threat.
Why is this on /nottheonion?
There's only a few places in the world you can get plutonium, none of them easy to access or extract.
There's gotta be more to this story that's probably super classified.
Least shocking thing I've ever heard, we've been scared of Russia loosey goosey rotting nuclear security forever.
Edit: estimated remaining 20,400 Yakuza members is more than I expected.
