What happened was that Allianz - who were the principal defendants, rather than Lloyds - after fighting the case for 2 years suddenly caved in and settled, more's the pity. I have more on this at NKEconwatch: http://www.nkeconwatch.com/nk-uploads/microsoft-word-knic_vs_allianz_et_al_a_personal_comment.pdf Many thanks for your informative and impassioned website. cheers Aidan FC Dear Josh,

Recall that several weeks ago, I told you that North Korea had won a lawsuit of its own against several insurers in a British court over a suspicious helicopter crash several years ago, for 39 million euros. with the current exchange rate at 1.36 dollars per euro, the new Pueblo judgment greatly exceeds the judgment against Lloyds, and hopefully, the Pueblo lawyers are looking into ways to obtain a lien against what Lloyds would otherwise pay to the North Koreans.
