I wonder how big the pressure/temptation is for a North Korean, hacking for the state (presumably), to escape with a couple hundred coins and defect?
I'm sure the repercussions / penalties must be huge, but then so are the amounts they must be seeing day by day, compared to average standard of living in N. Korea.
Or maybe this is a cadre of military / public conscripted workers who regard this hacking as a patriotic service even?
