The very next sentence is:

> Christina Marie Chapman, 49, of Litchfield Park, Arizona, raised $6.8 million in the scheme, federal prosecutors said in an indictment unsealed Thursday. Chapman allegedly funneled the money to North Korea’s Munitions Industry Department, which is involved in key aspects of North Korea’s weapons program, including its development of ballistic missiles.

The indictment is linked right there if you want to read it.

The indictment does not say whether she knew that she was involved with North Korea. I thought that everybody knows how out-of-bounds that is. And its Munitions Industry Department? There is some text about "Chineese". I am grappling. There is something big going on here.

Lesson learned: do background checks on your criminal associates to make sure they aren't North Korea.
