This is the conversation between former Nara Bank President Yoo Yoo  , who was chairman of Optimus Asset Management, and Jae-Hyun Kim, who was recently arrested for fraud.

In 2017, they were having a management dispute with Lee Hyuk-jin, who was the former CEO of Optimus.

He mentions the need to lobby the Supreme Court, saying that dispute resolution must be preceded in order to obtain approval from the financial authorities to change the majority shareholder.

[Kim Jae-Hyun/Optimus CEO: There are a lot of lawyers in the FSS, but it is said that this is the first time that the Supervisory Service talks about this kindly.]

Former Deputy Prime Minister Lee Heon-jae, who was named in the Optimus Advisory Group, also included the circumstances they were lobbying.

[Yang-ho/Optimus Chairman: Minister Lee Heon-Jae. I am scheduled to meet at 4 o'clock on Monday. You don't have to go and ask for it.]

Former Chairman Yang and former Vice Prime Minister Lee did not respond to SBS coverage.

Attorney Gyu-cheol Lee, who was mentioned as a lobbying window in the legal profession, dismissed "I wasn't in that position, and it doesn't make sense when I was investigating the judicial farm."

The transcript is known to have been obtained by the prosecution.

The prosecution's investigation is needed to see how the contact between the legal profession and the current and current financial authorities has affected Kim Jae-hyun's control over management and subsequent fund fraud.
