Customs quoted Murakami as saying, "I bought them as they were cute."

Mr Murakami needs to up his quoting, Obviously it needed to be "I was drunk and don't remember a thing." How could he make such an elementary mistake.

Smuggling is dangerous, just look what happened with American freshwater crayfish or black bass.

GoodLucktoyou,

Crayfish were NOT smuggled, they were INTRODUCED to feed the INTRODUCED bullfrogs that some idiots thought was a good idea for food, ie. frog legs.

Both of course escaped their ponds & are now plentiful around Japan

Why did it take a year to arrest him? If it was gold, he would’ve been arrested on the spot.

At least he didn't hide anything in his body cavities
