@iampaulkerry @GeekinKorea @daandydan The first place I worked here, the cops showed ambushed a foreign teacher who was called to the office to receive a package that had been delivered in his name. Delivery guy was still there, the staff all watching. He was like, "What's going on?" signed for it, & cops pounced.Permalink On twitter.com

@iampaulkerry @GeekinKorea @daandydan It was a parcel of pot sent anonymously from some other Korean city. He claimed it was an ex-girlfriend's revenge move, reportedly, but nobody knew for sure. This happened maybe a year after I left, so I only heard about it second hand and didn't know the guy.Permalink On twitter.com

@iampaulkerry @GeekinKorea @daandydan However, I did know another guy (same workplace) whose jilted ex definitely did a similar thing. She called the office impersonating the mom of "one of his students" and claimed he was teaching the kids all about the specifics of various illegal drugs.Permalink On twitter.com

@iampaulkerry @GeekinKorea @daandydan (She also completely trashed his apartment, setting fire to a pile of stuff in the bathroom and so on. I was visiting town that weekend, and crashing with the teacher he came to for help, so I saw the trashed apartment first hand.)Permalink On twitter.com

@iampaulkerry @GeekinKorea @daandydan She was threatening to got to the police and charge him with sexual assault if he didn't pay her something like ten million won and leave Korea immediately, or some insanity like that. He was panicked: her uncle was a crooked cop who'd "made problems go away" before for them.Permalink On twitter.com

@iampaulkerry @GeekinKorea @daandydan (He had a habit of getting into fights with anyone who looked at him and his ex the wrong way. Which many people seemed to constantly do. Ahem.) So he was absolutely terrified at the time. (And sick with a bad cold, so not really thinking straight.)Permalink On twitter.com

@iampaulkerry @GeekinKorea @daandydan The reason she was so mad was that he'd become close with an attractive young female faculty member. Everyone apparently noticed them always sitting and having instant coffee together. Everyone was puzzled. Then he started bragging they were having an affair. She was married.Permalink On twitter.com

@iampaulkerry @GeekinKorea @daandydan His ex got the prof's number from his phone and called her to arrange a meeting. Then they both came to his house and screamed at him. Then the threats and the trashing. My friend, the head teacher, convinced him to leave town for the weekend and turn off his phone.Permalink On twitter.com

@iampaulkerry @GeekinKorea @daandydan He figured the crooked cop uncle would want nothing to do with this, if the ex-girlfriend even did go to him, which he figured she wouldn't. (And he was right.) But... yeah, I can see an angry ex in a bad breakup sending a foreign guy an unsolicited box of pot as revenge.On twitter.com

@iampaulkerry @GeekinKorea @daandydan Not really a worry for me, of course, but I would be shocked if it hasn't happened at least a few times. It's not like it's a secret cops assume foreigners are into drugs, and that getting caught with them = deportation. Still, I only know of the one case.Permalink On twitter.com
