If the sucky jobs were better the condoms wouldn't have been necessary.

Wow.
The detained woman said she had received $0.17 for every kilogramme of recycled condoms she produced.
Quick back of napkin math, according to google a condom weighs 2 grams. So $0.17 per 500 "produced". I have no clue how much she could do in a day.
I guess you just wash the berkeley out of 'em!
The math doesn't add up. They seized 360 kg. The lady makes 17 cents per kg. The whole seized lot then made the woman 360kg x .017 = $6.12.
Maybe I just don't understand 3rd world economies! But, this is Korea. Certainly no less than 2nd world economy?

...and she claimed to have been boiling them. Getting 18.2ish Lbs. of material (2.2 Lbs of product + 2ish gallons of water) to 100 c should consume most if not more than the $0.17. Also, I believe latex starts to vulcanize at around 100 c so she's probably making straight jackets...not too comfy.

Don't act like they were comfy in the first place.

Not to be "that guy"...everyone hates "that guy" but it's 17 cents not 1.7 cents so the total is $61.20

Burned by the decimal again!
Still $61 is her whole portion of enough bounty to be considered a criminal enterprise?
Where the hell do you get half a million used condoms? E36 M3ty costco?

Insert asian stereotype joke here.
Maybe the real profit was in filling them, and ransoming the contents to the clients for hush money?

Agreed, 61 bucks is probably far less than what it’ll cost to prosecute her.
But, even new condoms have poor efficacy…imagine how unreliable second use, boiled, and shape set on a mandrel one’s would be – yikes!

I dunno, car tires get vulcanized and they're tougher.
Which is exactly what I look for on condom packages: tough like your car's tires!

Seeing as how it's in Vietnam, most likely prostitutes saving them.

According to the article:
The owner of the warehouse said they had received a "monthly input of used condoms from an unknown person," state newspaper Tuoi Tre reported.
Which doesn't really help, except it somehow makes the story even funnier. Although I presume it would have to be an "industry professional" collecting them on that scale.

More math/reading errors here. That is the per bag price she was getting the article said there were "bags" as in multiple so who knows how many there actually were.
Police said the bags weighed more than 360 kilograms (794 lbs), equivalent to 345,000 condoms, according to VTV.

Uhh.. Do I want to know if that weight was pre or post cleaning?
Upon further review, I'm honestly surprised that they're being recycled to be reused for condoms instead of made into drift tires. Rubber designed to be burned through in one 20 minute session.
