Do include the next part aswell: "Griffith was denied permission to travel to North Korea by the State Department but decided to attend the DPRK Cryptocurrency Conference anyway."
Sure, but up to 20 years in prison for that seems absolutely insane
"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." This is pretty wild to me. The guy gave a talk in North Korea and gave them non-classified information they could easily find on YouTube or any other public website. And now he's facing 20 years.
What’s wild to me is that someone would think that it’s a good idea to give talks about anything in North Korea, a regime that has murdered and starved millions of people. Also, the people of North Korea do not have access to the internet or Youtube as far as I know.

> "During and after the conference, Griffith was alleged to have discussed means through which North Korea could use cryptocurrency to evade economic sanctions."

Hilarious, land of freedom, justice muh democrazy. Hilarious.
You think people should be free to collaborate with a degenerate regime that has killed millions?

How do I tell you this? People in North Korea don't have access to YouTube and the internet.
Are you aware of what life is like for the people of North Korea?
Only a few select businessmen working for leaders of North Korea are ever allowed to leave and they usually travel to china for unknown business.
Giving a talk like this in North Korea is like teaching businessmen how to engage in moving criminal/ terrorism money without getting caught.
No normal citizen can run the internet/has access to the internet and if they were caught doing so they would be murdered so there's no way any of them could engage in this anyways.
I'm so sorry noone told you what North Korea is like.

People who need access to the internet do have it. I think they route through China.
Anyone else using the internet not doing work for the North Korean government would be murdered if caught.
In North Korea they have the "intranet" which is an internal network of learning resources you can use at the local North Korean libraries and schools! It is all propoganda.
