刺猬财经APP（www.ciweicaijing.com）一线报道，根据美国司法部于2019年11月29日发布的新闻稿，新加坡居民和美国公民维吉尔·格里菲思（Virgil Griffith）因刑事指控而被捕，原因是涉嫌违反《国际紧急经济权力法》，前往朝鲜民主主义人民共和国（“ DPRK”或“朝鲜”），以就使用加密货币和区块链技术规避制裁发表演讲和技术建议。而联邦调查局助理局长威廉·斯威尼对此表示格里菲斯未经联邦政府的许可就前往朝鲜，并且他知道自己的所作所为是违法的。
前日，commerc.io的CEO、创始人恩里科·塔林（Enrico Talin）在Medium上发表文章，呼吁并请求以太坊创始人Vitalik（V神）请愿释放维吉尔。
北京时间12月2日凌晨，V神表示将在释放以太坊开发者Virgil Griffith的请愿书上签名，并在Twitter上给出自己签名的6点原因。
I refuse to take the convenient path of throwing Virgil under the bus, because I firmly believe that that would be wrong. I'm signing. Reasoning below.
我拒绝采取抛弃Virgil的便利途径，因为我坚信那是错误的。我将会签名，理由如下。
0. Prefacing with two points. [i] Conflict-of-interest disclosure: Virgil is my friend, [ii] this whole thing has nothing to do with EF. EF paid nothing and offered no assistance; it was Virgil's personal trip that many counseled against
0.以两点作为开场白。[I]利益冲突披露：维吉尔是我的朋友，[ii]这整件事与以太坊基金会无关。以太坊基金会没有支付任何费用，也没有提供任何帮助；许多人反对的是维吉尔的私人旅行。
1. Geopolitical open-mindedness is a *virtue*. It's *admirable* to go to a group of people that one has been trained since childhood to believe is a Maximum Evil Enemy, and hear out what they have to say. The world would be better if more people on all sides did that.
1.地缘政治的开放性是一种“美德”。前往一个自己从小就被训练去相信是最大的邪恶敌人的群体，并倾听他们的想法，这是“令人钦佩的”。
2. And in fact, this virtue of his has paid off in multiple other contexts; improved relations with Ethereum Classic, Hyperledger, and others. All orgs much milder than DPRK, but the point still stands.
2.事实上，他的这种美德在其他很多情况下都得到了回报：改善与Ethereum Classic、Hyperledger等公司的关系。所有的组织都比朝鲜温和，但这一点（美德）仍然存在。
3. I don't think what Virgil did gave DRPK any kind of real help in doing anything bad. He *delivered a presentation based on publicly available info about open-source software*. There was no weird hackery "advanced tutoring".
3.我不认为维吉尔的所作所为给了朝鲜任何真正的帮助。他根据公开的开源软件信息做了一个演讲。没有奇怪的黑客“高级辅导”。
4. And if there was any indication that it was going in that direction, I would have reacted much more strongly against it.
4.如果有任何迹象表明它正在朝这个方向发展，我的反应会强烈得多。
5. Virgil made no personal gain from the trip.
5.维吉尔没有从这次旅行中得到任何个人利益。
6. So I hope USA shows strength rather than weakness and focuses on genuine and harmful corruption that it and all countries struggle with rather than going after programmers delivering speeches parroting public information.
6.所以，我希望美国展示实力，而不是示弱，把重点放在它和所有国家都在与之斗争的真正有害的腐败上，而不是盯着程序员发表演讲传播公共信息。
