It is my belief from all the reading I've done on the subject over the last couple of years, Kim probably needs more money. Example: quote excerpted from the same article....

"Under a 2007 six-party deal, North Korea agreed to disable its main
nuclear complex — a step toward its ultimate dismantlement — in return
for 1 million tons of fuel oil and other concessions."

Food for thought: exactly who gave them 1 million tons of fuel while we paid outrageous prices for gas at the pump? He starts threatening when he needs money and goods. You don't really think he spends it on his poor do you? (just a rhetorical question).

"Since its adoption, no North Korean companies or organizations have been put on the list."

What's up with that?

Near the bottom is a paragraph naming the #2 fearless leader in NK. The next one to watch. Looks like Kim Jong IL won't be around much longer. With that in mind, it backs up the theory of needing more funding. I highly doubt the selfish bastard will bequeath his ill gotten funds.

PS - I'm not nice when it comes to topics on Kim Jong. So sorry for the name calling. However, Jong if you're reading this since you're the only one in NK that has internet... go suck a duck. I can be a bigger bitch than Hillary.
