News Friday DigiFinex 3: U.S outlines an aggressive set of countermeasures to counter North Korea’s Alleged Crypto Crimes
The U.S. departments of State, Treasury and Homeland Security plus the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) argued that there had been a cutting in the Hermit Kingdom’s money flow said to be worth billions of dollars raised over the past two years including $1.5 billion in crypto used as development of weapons of mass destruction. The government was strongly encouraged to strengthen their security. This includes implementing tough anti-money-laundering frameworks for digital currency in hopes to expel North Korean IT workers. However, the North Korean government has strongly denied allegations of stealing up to $2 billion dollars in fiat and crypto, calling the accusations “nothing but a sort of a nasty game.”
