- As international sanctions have cut into North Korea’s ability to import and export things, they’ve become desperate for cash.
They’ve been running crazy schemes to get it - smuggling, stealing, lying, cheating, swashbuckling - but that’s nothing compared to what they make from stealing cryptocurrency.
In fact, most of their foreign currency now comes from stolen crypto.
So, can anything be done to stop the world’s first nuclear-armed crypto bro, Kim Jong-un?
Matt Bevan takes a look.

I was unaware of any connection between North Korea and the collapse of FTX.
There was no connection
Sarcasm 😅😂
Nice content trading come with a lot of benefits and I've just bought my first car through it. as a beginner I was scared of losing my savings but I'm glad I took the bold step that is now favouring me.
Crypto trading is all about having good investment plan most of all trading with a trustworthy expert. A professional that as been assigned by a crypto company.
I can relate to all you said cuz I'm facing similar things right now. Congratulations I wish you much success.
Hey can I ask what education you had to become profitable? Thanks
It's not about being educated but it's about seeking for the help of an expert with a profitable broker.
As a beginner what do I need to do? How can I invest, on which platform if you know any please share🙏
Great story, well edited 👏
Been watching If you're listening for awhile now and I just want to give a shoutout to the Graphics dude and the editor because its hilarious but also engaging! Matt, you're alright hahaha
The piece doesn't really touch on how the North Koreans convert that crypto into cash. That's a key thing for the UN to focus on. BTC has no value to them if it can't be cashed out. The whole thing should be banned for eternity.
And that's the extra funny thing about crypto the ledger is entirely publicly viewable. You can literally trace transactions and wallets.
Surely after these hacks we can identify target wallets, and black list them entirely wiping out any value.
Sam Wankman-Fraud should've just blamed north korea bro 😂
I love this stuff. The world is so out of control and we’re helpless to fix it.
Great report Matt
3:08 yes they can just look at their precision guided munitions
Is this why we have all the Crypto Amazon bots?
Not saying this is not but just because a graph goes up and down does not make it a pyramid scheme.
Interesting , Thank You
They got a cash crab in the net.
crime is committed with every currency that exists.
People who get their crypto stolen clearly don’t understand the responsibility that comes with owning this kinda of currency
which is a bit weird as there is a certain amount of know-how needed just to get into it in the first place.
Yeah, you've got your NFT's locked up safe n sound where no one but you can access them, not like those other plebs leaving access to everyone on the Open Sea amirite?! 😂
Well, if you have your private keys held by a third party custodian (such as a crypto exchange) then you're pretty much asking to lose your stuff
You didnt tell us HOW N Korea is stealing the crypto??
Social engineering.
Did you watch this or just read the head line lol
By robbing Crypto Exchanges.
He did, right at the beginning of the video. They are using phishing emails.
too bad that nothing of the money will go to food...
Well, not food for comrade farmer ! It needs to be sent to comrade Kim for … uh equal redistribution 😂
Is the background music at the start a rip off of Darude - Sandstorm? lmao
I guess it's kind of a bit but your definition of a pyramid scheme is wild as hell
Be funny if people walked away from Crypto because he made it worthless
Silly
😂
No sh*t. Like we don't already know.
I wanna see what Trump will do if he gets in the White House again. lol he super unpredictable 😆 🤣 but funny as hell with that hair of his and facial expressions. Lol, and let's not forget his fake tan, lol
grooming us for the cbdc
Yeah Fiat currency really is grooming us with monopoly bucks
No I'm not listening to you anymore

Axie Infinity isn’t a scam, I would take that down before the ABC get sued. It’s very much a live product
The thousands of poverty stricken Filipinos that got screwed by it may disagree.
Sued by who and where exactly?
This isn't in America. It is an Australian programme on an Australian public television channel that is funded by the Australian Government.
😂😂😂😂
