BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota regulators are raising questions about a plea deal a grain trader reached with federal prosecutors.
Prairie Public Radio reports that prosecutors allege 22-year-old Hunter Hanson was running his grain business like a Ponzi scheme. The station says Hanson plans to plead guilty to money laundering and wire fraud charges. The deal calls for him to forfeit his assets and pay $11.4 million in restitution to creditors.
The state Public Service Commission has been appointed bankruptcy trustee in state court. Commissioner Randy Christmann says he doesn’t know how much money Hanson will ultimately pay back. He says it’s hard to imagine Hanson has millions of dollars.
Hanson’s attorney, listed in online court records as Lucas Wynne, didn’t immediately respond to an email Thursday.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Department of Health has confirmed this season’s first human case of West Nile virus in the state.
Health officials say the individual lives in McHenry County and was not hospitalized.
West Nile virus surveillance coordinator Evan Bischoff says this is the second consecutive year in which the first human case of West Nile virus was reported earlier than usual.
The health department recommends that people take precautions to avoid mosquito bites by taking measures such as using bug spray and wearing protective clothing, and using screens on doors and windows to keep mosquitoes outside.
Most people infected with West Nile virus experience no symptoms. But common symptoms include fever, headache and body or joint aches or a rash. More serious symptoms could also develop.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Another pipeline could soon be carrying more Bakken oil out of North Dakota.
It’s the third announcement of a major pipeline project in the state over the past month. The latest involves the Hiland Crude system. Its operator, Kinder Morgan, is evaluating just how much more capacity it will need based on the level of interest and the volume commitments it secures.
Hiland carries 88,000 barrels of oil each day from McKenzie County to Wyoming. From a hub there, Tallgrass Express transports up to 375,000 barrels per day to three refineries and a terminal in Oklahoma with its Pony Express Pipeline.
Kinder Morgan spokeswoman Katherine Hill tells the Bismarck Tribune Tallgrass may also consider expanding the Pony Express line.

TOKYO 2020-TICKETS
Tokyo Olympics offer ‘second-chance’ lottery for Japan fans
TOKYO (AP) — Tokyo Olympic organizers are putting “a few hundred-thousand” tickets into a lottery next month for Japan residents who were shut out when results of the first lottery were announced in June.
The new “second-chance” lottery is being organized on short notice because of unprecedented demand in Japan. Demand is believed to be at least 10 times over supply — probably more. It means few in the host country who want tickets can get them.
Organizing committee spokesman Masa Takaya says 3.22 million tickets were sold to Japan residents in the first lottery. He said more than 90% of applicants bought the tickets that they were awarded. He said only the unsold tickets would be those offered in the next round.
