North Korea might be the world's most dangerous investment, but some are betting stronger commercial links could push the Hermit Kingdom toward reform. A few years ago, Chris Devonshire-Ellis, a Beijing based business and tax consultant, was in the bar at Pyongyang's Koryo Hotel when he ran into another foreigner. "The guy's name was Vlad," Devonshire-Ellis says. "He'd come from Moscow on a train to sell tractors to North Koreans. He had all these guys around him. Turns out, they were his team of bodyguards. The North Koreans paid in cash--1 million in US Dollars--and that's why he needed the bodyguards. He was comfortable doing business with the North Koreans. He said they always paid. But I must say, the guards with machine guns may be a bit much for average Western business."
