> What has he done?
He directly helped North Korea (considered to be a rogue state by the US, also a nuclear power) evade sanctions.

The governments can not find a real bad boy who has running Bitcoin, so a boy for beating like a cryptocurrency expert is enough welcome. It must be so disgusting to live in an empire who has to be kind of cocky like making some sanctions on export.
It's not required that this help is useful. Plenty of spies transferred information that was already known by the recipient country, fake information, or even information that was deliberately passed to them by counterintelligence - it's still espionage.
The crime has very little to do with the actual content of the presentation or the information he provided, or crypto whatsoever.
We’re free to discuss how Pyongyang can evade sanctions. In public, right here. We’re not free to travel to North Korea and say “here you go.”
It’s not a subtle difference.
> Did he present anything non-public or develop some kind of cryptocurrency client or novel way to launder/hide money that wasn't already public/known at the time?
None of those things are required to help.
