had value, in which case the requisite state of mind as to each
of the foregoing elements is “intentionally,” or (b) knew that

[the interest of another person or organization providing money,
goods, services, or anything else] [any other person’s
interest], which had value, in which case the requisite state of
mind as to each of the foregoing elements is “knowingly.”
