Mario Nawfal interviews FBI Most Wanted Crypto Expert

London,  UK  – In a powerful and revealing episode of 69 X Minutes, investigative journalist and X Host Mario Nawfal sat down with Chris Emms in Moscow, where he remains under asylum following a politically charged legal battle with the United States. 

Chris Emms, a British citizen and blockchain expert, found himself at the centre of an international legal storm after being accused by the U.S. government of violating sanctions laws. His alleged crime? Not providing false witness testimony in another case and providing publicly available information on blockchain technology at a conference in North Korea. Despite having no financial dealings with the country, he was targeted by U.S. authorities, facing the threat of extradition and a potential 20-year prison sentence. Forced to flee, Emms sought asylum in Moscow, where he remains today, fighting for his freedom and challenging what he describes as politically motivated persecution. His case has drawn international attention, sparking debates on government overreach, the misuse of extradition laws, and the broader implications for global free speech and technology education.
