WHAT was this money FOR???? MONEY LAUNDERING??? STATE SECRETS??? WHAT??? And HOW DID THEY MEET???
absolutely! 100% chance that money was used to purchase SOMETHING. And since that something is undisclosed, there is another 100% chance it is/was illegal...
How did they meet?

Carlos Danger left a message in an envelope taped under a park bench for Pierre Delecto to tell him a woman wants to meet him but has to keep it totally discreet. She carried a yellow rose to the cafe where Hunter said the code phrase “Gosh, you aren’t from Texas are you?”
In the hotel room later he said “Golly, this must be what they mean by foreign intrigue.”
They went out to dinner, and she was just paying her part of the tab.
