    On February 29, 2016, he confessed to stealing a piece of North Korean propaganda to take back to the United States as a “trophy” for someone from his home-town church who offered to pay him for it with the gift of a car worth $10,000. The poster said, “Let’s arm ourselves strongly with Kim Jong-il’s patriotism!” Harming such items with the name or image of one of their leaders is considered a serious crime in North Korea.
