Someone needs to write a more in-depth story about how Kim Jong Un is the OG diamond hands crypto bro. They were stealing Bitcoin when it was worth less than $1,000 and doubt they spent all of it at once. The amount they likely have in reserve that's gone up in value must be astronomical

From his résumé, Thomas from Tennessee looked perfect. A programmer for eight years—and he’d breezed through a coding test. In reality, Thomas is a North Korean IT worker, one of many deployed to work remotely for US companies in a global cybercrime op to bankroll the North Korean government.
