Difficult to manage their supply chains? This means look the other way.

If they really wanted to, they could very easily avoid north Korean outsourcing. I have never accidentally outsourced to north Korea.

Check the contracts as part of the investigation. If there was no requirement to keep confidentiality or prevent the use ofnslave labor, its willful. If there was and there were nonchecks, its effectively the same thing.

Fine the company double the total amount they paid to outsource at a minimum. It would be interesting if we had fines based on total revenue. As an original for amazon, that's a huge chunk of change. Of course, the company would be legally distant from the main ownership, but one can dream.

I think the actual cause of this is outsourcing to China where you have no transparency as to who actually does the work. It's nearly impossible to outsource to NK from inside the USA, but it's pretty trivial to do it inside China.

My guess is that the work got outsourced twice with one Chinese middeman company keeping the difference.

Oh, I don't doubt that. However the fact that presumable neither of us work in outsourcing and can deduce that makes it seem willful ignorance.
