- Prosecutors said they have arrested Kang and a person identified only as Cho on the charges. Another person, also listed only as Cho, has pleaded guilty to all charges, according to local news outlet Jtbc.
- A spokesperson for the prosecutors’ office contacted by forkast declined to disclose the full names of the other individuals, a practise common in South Korea due to privacy laws.
- Last month, South Korean prosecutors charged Kang and two other executives of Bithumb-affiliated firms with breach of trust, embezzlement and fraudulent transactions, the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office confirmed with forkast prin mesaj text.
- Prosecutors suspect Kang Jong-hyun to be the owner of Bithumb and affiliates, and that his brother and sister conspired to misappropriate company funds and manipulate stock prices, according to local outlet Știri.
- Kang’s younger sister Kang Ji-yeon is the chief executive officer of Bithumb-affiliated companies Inbiogen and Bucket Studio. Biotechnology firm Inbiogen is the largest shareholder of video equipment manufacturer Vidente, the single largest shareholder of Bithumb. Entertainment content distributor Bucket Studio is the majority owner of Inbiogen.
- Prosecutors raided the three Bithumb affiliates last October and banned Kang from leaving the country. Both his siblings were summoned and investigated by the prosecutors last month.
- “The allegations surrounding my brother Kang Jong-hyun are unconfirmed and one-sided … I can confidently say that there are no problems related to embezzlement or breach of trust within the company,” Kang Ji-yeon said in a letter to shareholders uploaded on Bucket Studio’s site oficial.
