Hacker News上的一篇讨论围绕着朝鲜涉嫌洗钱数十亿美元被盗加密货币展开。一个用户质疑KYC(了解你的客户)检查的有效性,认为一个国家很容易就能规避这些检查。另一个用户反驳说,KYC的目的是提高欺诈的成本,而不是使其不可能发生。另一位评论者指出,美联储的钞票没有KYC要求,而且伪造仍然是一个持续存在的问题,甚至据说还涉及中央情报局。另一个用户开玩笑地建议将被盗的比特币卖给美国的战略比特币储备。最后,一个用户推测,如果金氏家族携洗钱所得潜逃,朝鲜是否会发生变化。整体基调表明,人们对当前反洗钱措施在应对朝鲜这样的老练行为者时的有效性持怀疑态度。

North Korea Launders Billions in Stolen Crypto (coindesk.com)

do we really think that an entire nation state is unable to set up the apparatus to cheat a few measly KYC checks?

coin to coin exchanges do not require KYC, so hypothetically if they can beat KYC (which surely they can) they wouldn't even need to be depositing the actual coins they stole.



The point of KYC isn't to make fraud impossible, but to make it expensive.


Of course not. But it's still more work than passing the KYC checks on US Federal Reserve notes (there are none at all), or just printing fake US Federal Reserve notes that are so good it forces the Bureau of Printing and Engraving has to do expensive redesigns. Of course, America's own CIA has been long suspected of doing the exact same thing.

They could sell it at market price (or slightly below) to the US strategic bitcoin reserve. I'm sure no one in the Trump administration would have any moral conundrums about this.


If the Kim family suddenly decided to take the money and run to Dubai (or where-ever crypto scammers retire to), I wonder if anything in North Korea would even change.
