“DPRK IT workers can individually earn more than USD 300,000 a year in some cases, and teams of IT workers can collectively earn more than USD 3 million annually,” the alert warns. “DPRK IT workers provide a critical stream of revenue that helps fund the DPRK regime’s highest economic and security priorities, such as its weapons development program.”
Capatalist leeches think paying their workers in any manner is getting scammed lol.
:porky-happy: let’s outsource all of our IT jobs to suppress wages
:porky-scared-flipped: NOT TO JUCHE GANG
If they're doing the work, they're not really scammers. Are they, Wired? Not like assholes scamming me of my surplus value. :xi-gun:
I scammed my job out of so much money this year. Here's how I did it: I showed up, did the work, and these fucking idiots just gave me the money.
I mean, not all of it - they took most of the value I created and funneled it back to the c-suite in the form of a dividend that I'll never see because I don't qualify for their stock benefits as a contract employee, and they're trying to get out of paying me at all with threats to deport me back to Korea. All in all not worth it, so I'll probably just start selling NFTs the next time I need a good scam.
Wait till you hear about what just comes out of the fuckin ground - https://youtu.be/_pDTiFkXgEE
My buddy recently bought some farm land and is working on starting up a coop. The guy they're working with used to be involved in agricultural labor organizing, so I think they've got a shot at succeeding. I'm hoping I can get involved fulltime once I quit my current job - I just need to save up a bit to buy in.
All the labor is done by co-owners, which is cool. I visited and a bunch of commies were arguing over whether an ethical agricultural coop was even viable under capitalism. It seemed like my kind of pipe dream.
I think this is a Key and Peele bit.
Two bank robbers are planning a heist and one of them's plan is to get hired at the bank and slowly drain their cash reserves via normal non-fraudulent paychecks for 40 years then retire with a pension, while the bank is none the wiser.
Like how is this a scam?
don't fuck with DPRK hackers, they're some of the very best :dprk-soldier:
"I'm in, time for payday from these fools!" I say in my best Deus Ex voice while receiving my first paycheck.
Westoids: "Haha, DPRK poor, no computer."
Also Westoids: [This article]
North Korean IT workers are the elite party elite paid actors who get the functioning computers, everyone else is also a paid actor but only gets a cardboard cutout of a computer to fool any visiting white people.
North Koreans have to go along with these hijinks or Kim Jong Un will personally execute their entire families with an anti-aircraft gun that fires rabid dogs.
uncritical support for the DPRK in its heroic struggle to liberate occupied Korea from the genocidal American empire
