NO, not from what I saw on the news. I watch a lot of news and a couple days ago was the first I heard about it

Read the book;

Hunting LeRoux: The Inside Story of the DEA Takedown of a Criminal Genius and His Empire
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=hunting+l...nb_sb_ss_i_1_5

The book claims North Korea produces crystal meth on an industrial scale with high purity. It uses the income to support the country.

China is currently doing the same thing right now to the Philippines. There have been a few recent busts with millions of dollars of "shabu" aka meth being smuggled into the Philippines by Chinese nationals.

It apparently was detained then for violating international sanctions, and has been in limbo ever since, until now, when we said, "Look at us. We own the ship now."
