I'm still waiting for the "Iranian government moves to crypto to get around OFAC" articles. If there's one group of people who'd benefit from sanctions-resistant money it's them.

There was that one Ethereum(?) dude who got in trouble for talking to North Korea about cryptocurrency stuff.

Virgil Griffith, possibly the dumbest smart man alive. Asks the state department if he can go to North Korea to talk about cryptocurrency, gets told "no, of course not", somehow decides to go anyway, talks about evading sanctions with cryptocurrencies, and is finally greatly surprised when he gets arrested.
