Russian nuclear supercomputers used in blockchain currency mining.

Ha. . . . hey guys. . . lets use this government run supercomputer. We'll be trillionaires before anyone finds out!

Jailed within a day. . .

They probably arent in jail.

Well yea. . . that was a nice way of saying skinned alive while their family was forced to watched and then gassed. . .

This was Russia, not NK.

Because Russia doesn't do this?

In NK, if you screw up, they go after generations of your family.
