Authorities in the U.S. claim he was assisting North Koreans in efforts to circumvent sanctions using crypto.
More specifically, he was conspiring to violate United States sanctions on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea by working with an American citizen to illegally provide cryptocurrency and blockchain technology services to the DPRK. Both answered questions about blockchain and crypto technologies from the North Korean audience, including persons working for the government in Pyongyang. They also proposed plans for creating smart contracts for the DPRK and mapped out crypto transactions designed to avoid U.S. sanctions.
