The North Korean government has responded for the first time to recent US accusations that North Korea stole over $6 billion from Binance. The article, published by North Korean state media, has been translated into five languages. Kim Yo-jong, North Korea's second-in-command and Kim Jong-un's younger sister, accused the US of a conspiracy, suspecting it was a staged event to damage North Korea's international image. The implication is that the allegations are unfounded and North Korea has no intention of repaying the money.
