  • Named by the researcher as one of two heads of North Korea's Chinyong IT-worker delegation, from photographs the post publishes. Chinyong is the front company already recorded here through the Naoki Murano / Choe Il-kuk material. The post places Kim Sang Man with IT workers in Vladivostok in 2024 and Kim Hyo Dong in Laos in 2023 alongside Naoki Murano and other IT workers. These are named leadership figures rather than fabricated personas, attributed on the strength of the researcher reading the photographs; recorded as the researcher's claim, not as a finding of this site. Kim Sang Man is also named on the OFAC sanctions list, where he appears in connection with Chinyong; the Gary Lee dossier here cites a $300,000 transfer to him. The four cryptocurrency addresses are the digital currency addresses OFAC listed for KIM, Sang Man (Korean: 김상만; a.k.a. KIM, Sangman) on its Specially Designated Nationals list, reproduced in the cited post.
