He used the 4.2 billion Won for crypto investment. During the trial, he acknowledged the entire lawsuit and paid the loss in May and June.
The loss made by the defendant for personal use is significant so that this case is not a minor case. Given that the company that is a victim is a private company owned by the defendant, it means that the loss is not limited to the defendant," said the court.
