There are many things that can be a problem.

On October 13th, the day before Lime Asset Management held a press conference on the suspension of redemptions, officials at Daishin Securities Banpo Branch met with Lim, the president of Lim Asset Management, and vice president of the company.

It was already announced that the redemption has been announced, and the brokerage office asks its clients to take their money out first.

[Instead of Securities Banpo Branch (recorded on October 13 last year): First, you have to pull the ranking to the first position.]

Lime says he's warm and asks for a personal loan.

Banshin Branch Manager, Daeshin Securities (Recorded on October 13 last year) It's not because the money comes out of the fund. Each one writes a contract separately.]

About 1 trillion won was invested in Lime Fund, including 200 billion won for individual investors.

There are also words to indicate that the fund was in bad shape before the repurchase was formalized.

Banshin Branch Manager, Daeshin Securities Anyway, I kept giving you a chance. You've been really told to stop it.]

[Kim Jung-cheol / Lime Victims: (Securities) We have to take measures to buy back quickly when a problem occurs. According to the transcript, he confers with Lime and persuade investors to continue to repurchase.]

In August last year, when allegations of insolvency of the Lime Fund were in the market, Daishin Securities Banpo Branch reassured them by holding a briefing session.

Despite the fact that there is a problem with fund liquidity, there is a suspicion that securities firms have delayed repurchases.

[Song Sung-hyun, Lawyer / Lime Victim: Criminal fraud. It may be fraudulent fraudulent under the Capital Markets Act.]

The branch did not know that the fund was bad because it believed Lime's explanation, and explained that it did not knowingly intended to delay repurchase.

[The manager at Daishin Securities Banpo Branch: It's just a fund run when my customers buy back. I can't afford to buy it that day. It was bad for my clients, bad for Lime, and bad for all other investors.]

Lime fund victims are planning to sue Daum Securities next week for fraud.
