A U.S. district court judge on Monday ordered North Korea to pay $501 million dollars in damages to Otto Warmbier's parents as part of a lawsuit they filed against the DPRK earlier this year.
Otto Warmbier was held captive in North Korea for 17-months after being charged with attempting to steal a propaganda poster. He was returned to the U.S. in June last year in a coma and died shortly after his arrival back in the United States.
