A Seattle woman has been sentenced to 21 years in prison for setting up a methamphetamine operation in North Dakota and other states.
Jiyeon Kim was charged in federal court with conspiracy to distribute meth, continuing criminal enterprise and money laundering. She pleaded guilty to three counts.
Authorities say the 34-year-old Kim led a conspiracy to sell more than 500 grams of meth, and set up fake bank accounts to deposit and transfer drug money from North Dakota to Washington state.
