IDK why the preceding comments are talking about wages, this is about a former US govt worker providing US govt secrets and lobbying services for the government of South Korea. For what it’s worth, the article states she was out of government service at the time, and the charge is failure to file as a foreign agent. She was compensated in $3k handbags, fancy dinners, and $37k.

I'm honestly not sure, but I think it's a subtle joke. i.e. instead of paying her a living wage for her espionage, she got hand bags.
