The Merge Point executive, who caused a problem by collecting people's money saying that they can get discounts at marts and convenience stores, was sent to the prosecution today (17th). It is understood that more than 300,000 victims have not been refunded, up to tens of millions of won, and the reality is that compensation and countermeasures are far from available.
