It cites information from the US Government that these IT workers can earn more than $300,000 a year, and upwards of 100,000 North Koreans are spread across 40 countries generating approximately $500 million a year for Pyongyang."

...and you thought RTO was just about some manager's ego (well, it is, but this too because someone F'd up hiring too many unscreened remote workers).
