According to US investigators, Zhao purposefully turned a blind eye to transactions that fueled terrorism, the illegal drug trade, and child sexual abuse.

The four-month sentence is lower than the three years prosecutors sought.

Prosecutors told the judge a tough sentence would Send a clear signal to other would-be criminals.
