Christopher Douglas Emms is wanted for allegedly conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Specifically, conspiring to violate United States sanctions on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (“DPRK” or “North Korea”) by working with an American citizen to illegally provide cryptocurrency and blockchain technology services to the DP, Its quite the mouthful.
Chris is a British citizen who, due to his status of being Wanted, now calls Moscow home. He and I spoke via Zoom about the charges brough against and just how on earth he came to be accused of helping North Korea avoid global sanctions. He says this is a situation that has been completely blown out of proportion.
None the less he has had his entire life turned upside down over the last few years, not only can he not return home to the UK for fear of extradition to the United States but he also had all of his UK accounts frozen and has never been able to recoup his money.
This is the story of Christopher Emms.
