The Ethereum developer was arrested by U.S. authorities in November 2019 after traveling to North Korea and delivering a presentation at a local cryptocurrency conference, which had government officials among its attendees. Griffith's speech was focused on how Kim Jong-un's regime could circumvent U.S. sanctions.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin distanced himself and the Ethereum Foundation from the ill-fated trip, clarifying that many counseled him against the risky endervour.

Griffith was facing up to 20 years behind bars, but he avoided the harshest sentence by deciding not to tempt his fate with a jury trial and agreeing to a plea deal.
