Feds charge Japanese Yakuza leader with nuclear materials trafficking
Federal prosecutors in New York said they charged a Japanese Yakuza leader with conspiring to traffic nuclear materials from Burma to other countries.
Prosecutors said the accused gangster, Takeshi Ebisawa, "and his confederates showed samples of nuclear materials in Thailand" to an undercover agent from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration".
A U.S. nuclear forensic laboratory later analyzed the samples and confirmed that the samples contain uranium and weapons-grade plutonium," the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan said.

Good season thus far. Got caught up on eps 4 and 5 yesterday and today.
The end of episode 5 was intense. Damn.
Season 2
Episodes 5 and 6
I watched these 2 this afternoon.
Tozawa is moving ahead on achieving absolute power. He came up with a brilliant long term plan that caught the rest of families off guard.
Episode 5 gave us an explicit Gay sex scene. They could have just left it off with them kissing, caught me off guard while I was munching on some Ruffles chips. HaHa!!!
I’m curious to how that Sista that works in Samantha’s club got herself in Japan. She doesn’t look bi-racial.
That ending to Episode 5 definitely caught me off guard.
Kato is eventually going to have to take down Haysma.
Going to let a few episodes stack up before catching up.

That scene in the office in episode 6 was great.
The threats towards the club owner, and the guy’s current girlfriend and son.
Calmly chilling.
