How in the world do you see this victimless? North Korea has been violating human rights in it's own borders and South Korea. It has nukes pointed at Seoul holding it and US troops hostage.

I can't believe he only got 5 years in jail for this. It should've been life imprisonment for aiding and abetting terrorist organizations like North Korea.

Can you say the same for someone caught laundering money for Hamas or ISIS? That it's a victimless crime?



"How in the world do you see this victimless?"

Just because NK has victims does not mean that his actions have victims as well.

"It has nukes pointed at Seoul"

Every nuclear country has their nukes pointed at somewhere. US included.

"holding ... US troops hostage"

I really do not get what you mean by this.

"It should've been life imprisonment"

It is easy to call for absurd amounts of vengeful punishment towards someone that poses no danger.

"for aiding and abetting terrorist organizations like North Korea"

I think that your definition of "terrorist organization" is too wide. Might as well call the US a terrorist organization at that point.

"Can you say the same for someone caught laundering money for Hamas or ISIS? That it's a victimless crime?"

He did not launder money. He just did a cryptocurrency presentation.
