At least 10 alleged U.S.-based facilitators have been federally charged, including one active-duty member of the U.S. Army, for their alleged roles in hosting laptop farms, laundering payments and moving proceeds through shell companies. At least six other alleged U.S. facilitators have been identified in court documents but not named.

So they fired him just for being from north korea?

the problem was probably more about being suspected as an operative for north korea.

though i wish i knew what methods they used to make the guy appear like perfect hire if he actually is an operative, maybe it might be useful information to actually just get a job. Getting a job nowdays feels more like trying to "steal" yourself a place in society rather than just being part of society. Having a job is a privilege.
