Noted Crypto Developer / Coder "Romanpoet" AKA Virgil Griffith taught North Korea how to evade sanctions with cryptocurrency
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77677269 South Africa 11/29/2019 07:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Noted Crypto Developer / Coder "Romanpoet" AKA Virgil Griffith taught North Korea how to evade sanctions with cryptocurrency A U.S. programmer known as "Romanpoet" has been criminally charged for traveling to North Korea to teach cryptocurrency and blockchain technology to evade economic sanctions, the Department of Justice announced Friday. Virgil Griffith, the 36-year-old creator of WikiScanner, a publicly searchable database that traced the origins of anonymous Wikipedia edits, is charged with violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The act prohibits citizens from exporting goods, services or technology to North Korea without approval from the Treasury Department. In April of this year, Griffith gave a presentation called "Blockchain and Peace" at the Pyongyang Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Conference, despite that fact that the State Department had denied him permission to travel to North Korea, according to the federal complaint. In a May interview with authorities in Manhattan, Griffith admitted that he had purchased a visa through the North Korean diplomatic mission for 100 euros. He received the visa on a piece of paper separate from his passport to avoid evidence of his trip and traveled to North Korea through China.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77999704 Canada 11/30/2019 11:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Re: Noted Crypto Developer / Coder "Romanpoet" AKA Virgil Griffith taught North Korea how to evade sanctions with cryptocurrency We live in a world of so many laws that everyone is a criminal but only selected targets are prosecuted. Selling ballistic missile technology to North Korea should be considered treason, but Joe Biden facilitated the sale of Yuzhmash rocket engines from Dnipro, Ukraine to power the Hwasong-14 missile. Apparently it is an impeachable offense to maintain diplomatic relations with the man who was elected by a landslide to investigate these crimes.. North Korea was forced to transact business in Bitcoin from its inception. They made a good profit on it, long before this conference was held. Crypto currency and block chain technology is advertised as a key focus of research on the Pyongyang University of Science and Technology (PUST) Facebook page. PUST is a private English language university supported by the Samaritan's Purse charity organisation. Samaritan's Purse was founded by Billy Graham and friends. The Graham family and the Kim family go back 4 generations to when Billy Graham's wife, was taught at the Pyongyang Presbyterian school by Kim Jong-un's Presbyterian grandmother. Both Kim and his sister attended a Christian private school in Switzerland that was associated with the Graham's.

Wikiscanner was fuckn awesome when it was up, anytime some asshat used a wikilink, you go in to see who is editing the page. It straight up made wiki credible due to being able to check for yourself who was editing the page. He took it down because he said it took thousands of dollars to keep it running, and the new one that replaced it is absolute crap.
