> If the North Koreans take your money, your money is taken

If you wire your money to North Korea, forget about it for a week, and then ask a court to intervene you aren’t getting your funds back.

Are there any American banks that will let you wire money to North Korea?

  • No. But pretty much any American bank will let you wire to a new Chinese or Singaporean account that sweeps funds every evening to other jurisdiction.

    • Ok but then you are dealing with criminals willing to run up against those governments.

      That’s not an incremental change in risk over a crypto transaction.
