Elites Discontent Amid Bribery Scandal
North Korean professors were banished for alleged bribery and abuse of power, per DailyNK.com. The exiles were stripped of their academic positions after a crackdown on corruption within the education sector.
The scandal follows growing discontent among North Korean elites, as reported by The World. Officials are increasingly critical of the regime's handling of economic reforms and internal governance.
Meanwhile, North Korea has denied an FBI claim that it was behind a $6 billion hack of Binance, according to TheStreet. The denial comes amid heightened international scrutiny over cyber activities and financial crimes.
