Virgil Griffith, a research scientist at the ethereum foundation, has been formally charged with helping north Korea learn more about blockchain and cryptocurrency. Foreign media reported that Griffith had been charged with "violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act."

据区块律动 BlockBeats 此前报道， 美国当局称，在国务院禁止 Griffith 访问朝鲜后，Griffith 仍于 2019 年 4 月前往朝鲜参加并出席了「平壤区块链与加密货币会议」。在会议上，Griffith 和其他与会人员「讨论了朝鲜如何利用区块链和加密货币技术洗钱并逃避西方的经济制裁」。在被逮捕之后，Griffith 先是被拒绝保释，后来又获准保释，条件是他的家人需缴纳 100 万美元的保释金。Griffith 的律师当时也提到 Griffith 已经被以太坊基金会停职。
