[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Paul Lee] Prosecutors have caught "listed brokers" and exchange officials who exchanged bribes over the domestic listing of virtual currency.
According to the prosecution on the 16th, the Financial Investigation Division 1 of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office (chief prosecutor Lee Seung-hyung) requested an arrest warrant on charges of breach of trust and breach of trust to Ko, a broker, and Jeon, an official of Coinone, a virtual currency exchange, on the 13th.
According to the prosecution, they are accused of exchanging bribes and requests to list virtual currency on Coinone, a virtual currency exchange, in 2020. The virtual currency requested by Ko is known to have been officially listed on Coinone.
The Seoul Southern District Court called them in and interrogated the suspects before their arrest. The arrest is expected to be decided as early as this night.
The Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office is looking into various suspicions surrounding the virtual currency exchange, including the manipulation of virtual currency prices and the relationship between issuers and exchanges. In the process, the company is investigating the corruption surrounding the listing of Coinone.
