The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has received US$25,000,000 frozen in 2005 as part of the general crackdown on the communist state.
The funds had been frozen in a Macau bank after the United States earlier alleged that the money was gained from activities including  money laundering and counterfeiting. 
The DPRK had demanded return of the money as a precondition to engaging in the six-party talks.  In February, the U.S. agreed to allow North Korea to retrieve their funds.
