[edit] Popular culture

I think this does not belong here. Anyone else agree?--Adoniscik (talk) 01:21, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Korea

"Slush funds are very popular in Korea. In fact, when one hears the word Korea, a few words including slush funds, kimchee, chaebol, taewkwondo, demonstrations, riots, corruption, binge drinking, sour grapes financial regulators, etc... come to mind. It is worthwhile to study how slush funds are created in Korea if one wishes to specialize in slush fund expertise."

I don't think this is true, or necessary. It came from a random IP and looks like vandalism

[edit] Contra accounts are NOT slush funds

A contra account, in accounting, is simply one account which cancels out another; there are many legimiate uses of contra-accounts in accounting. To equate contra accounts with slush funds is simply false. --EngineerScotty 17:39, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I think the author might be referring to when the use of contra accounts is abused. Having said that, I've never heard of the term being used in this regard. --Darzinho 17:33, 16 December 2006 (GMT)

Perhaps they were thinking of counter-guerilla funding?--Adoniscik (talk) 01:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
