Why is the government even involved? DC, get a grip. There's more important stuff to worry about than a corporation that doesn't want to take responsibility for its failings.
JMHO
Strictly from North Korea’s perspective, they have little to gain by admitting to the hacking or “brainstorming” with Obama’s gang on better security. They may say, for the price of 200 tons of winter wheat from America, they ‘might’ assign someone to look at all.
Obama hopes this is his chance to surrender to North Korea
North Korea to pay Japan? Not very likely I’d say.
Did North Korea ever give anything to Japan for sinking that ship with a torpedo (Sec. of State Hillary Clinton said ‘don’t jump to conclusions!’).

Can it get more pathetic than this?
Under Obama’s watch we have gone from super-power to street beggar.
New friends around the world? Do we have even one left at this point?
Would the compensation come out of the nuclear weapons budget or out of the food budget?
Maybe North Korea can pay Sony some of those counterfeit American dollars it prints.
We will have to write them an angry letter telling them how angry we are.
Oh sure. N. Korea is going to pay 3x their annual GDP to buy off Sony who they thoroughly pwned.
Do the Norks have any real money to give them ( I don't count their counterfeited US currency), much less make anything else for sale other than the blood and organs of their political and religious prisoners?
Perhaps SONY would like some nice barrels of nuclear waste in exchange, or a big shipload of fertilizer, er... I mean human waste? They could probably have their pick.
So then the Norks, under pressure from Obama would pay Sony with the money they extort from the U.S. taxpayers.
Smart guy that Obama. /S
Hard to believe the State Department is really that stupid.
What are they going to pay them in, KimChee?
Did we run out of drones or something?
