> Griffith was arrested and charged with conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) in November 2019 after he travelled to North Korea to give a talk on blockchain and crypto.
wow. that's all huh? just a talk
wow. that's all huh? just a talk
"Griffith was denied permission to travel to North Korea by the State Department but decided to attend the DPRK Cryptocurrency Conference anyway."
It may have just been a talk, but a talk is a service, and he knew it was a serious federal crime.
If he planned to rely on the "It was all public information anyway" argument, he is a fool.
Interesting. Now do everyone in the last thirty years who helped create the situation where North Korea has nuclear weapons. Starting with Jimmy Carter.
If you sold weapons to terrorists you'd be facing similar charges.
Would you allow a “talk” instructing North Koreans on how to better leverage ransomware to extort money from municipalities?
Save the fake outrage for a real injustice, because there are plenty of those.
