In a prepared statement read out before TV cameras, Warmbier said a female member of Friendship United Methodist Church in Wyoming, Ohio, had offered him a used car worth $10,000 if he could return with the banner as a “trophy” from North Korea.
According to North Korean state news agency KCNA, the woman had also promised to pay Warmbier’s mother $200,000 if he was arrested and detained in the North.
I hope that's true. Seems like the dumbest wager you could agree to. Also, you don't ask yourself for forgiveness, mate. You ask them.
