Laura Shin Goes Undercover in Crypto Hiring: Suspected North Korean Developer's Call Drops After Kim Jong Un Question On August 14, Unchained founder and CEO Laura Shin @laurashin posed as recruiter Sophie Wang to interview a suspected North Korean crypto developer applying to Oomp-Labs. Security researchers had reviewed his GitHub profile and work history and found links between his wallet transactions and North Korea-related activity. During the interview, Shin asked him to say something negative about Kim Jong Un. He hesitated, and the call ended. Nine minutes later, he blamed an unstable connection and suggested switching to Discord or Telegram. On Telegram, Shin repeated the question. He replied, "I don't know much," then said he had never faced such a request in other interviews, without answering directly. Shin urged crypto companies to strengthen applicant screening.
