[North Korea refutes U.S. accusations of cryptocurrency theft] On November 3, according to the Korean Central News Agency, Kim Yo-jong, head of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, said in a statement on November 2 that the U.S. FBI claimed that the so-called hacker group “supported” by North Korea was involved in the theft of billions of dollars in cryptocurrency from the cryptocurrency trading platform “Binance” in an attempt to slander North Korea as a “cyber crime state.” Kim Yo-jong said that whenever various "cyber crime" incidents occur in the world, the United States blindly links them to North Korea in an attempt to spread a wrong understanding of North Korea to the international community. The United States misleads international public opinion, which is a serious political provocation against North Korea and an anti-DPRK infringement that smeares North Korea's international image.
