Is the world getting better in the money craze that blows every time?



On the 31st of SBS'I want to know that', the 30th anniversary of SBS's founding special feature,'Is the World Better-Part 2 Frenzy and Manipulation' was released.



It is no exaggeration to say that 2020 is the year of the stock craze.

The 2030 generation, whose anxiety about the future became severe due to the prolonged Corona 19, is jumping into the stock market.



Accordingly, the production crew looked back at our current self-portraits, following the current state of the people who climbed the ladder amid the frenzy of money in the English-Korean way of real estate, virtual currency, and lotto.



Kim and his wife, who received 3.3 billion won in winnings at the time of the lottery craze 17 years ago.

The production team met Kim again at a pension in Jeju Island.

Kim, who introduced every corner of the pension, was not actually the owner of the pension.



Mr. Kim, who said 17 years ago that he had no money left, said, "I don't have any money. If I receive what I borrowed, I will have money."

After winning the lottery, there was a call to him to borrow money, complaining of difficulties from all over the place, and all the acquaintances who borrowed the money have disappeared since then.

In addition, he was shocked by the fact that all of the businesses he invested in were destroyed, and that the snack shop, which had just been left, was closed.



However, he was still buying lottery every week and was dreaming of a dream once again.

In addition, he expressed regret for not being able to invest in real estate, saying, "The building that used to be at the time of 2.4 billion is now 40 billion."



Then, if he had invested in real estate at the time, would he still be enjoying a prosperous life?

Accordingly, the production crew inquired for Mr. Jo, who made a large amount of money through a real estate auction at the age of 34 at the time of the 1 billion making craze in 2004.



At the time, he shared his financial skills and took the lead in making a good rich man.

He was then involved in various lawsuits.

In particular, he drew attention by not paying off bank loans after sub-lease contracts with tenants through a corporation, causing the damage to be returned to tenants intact.



Tenants insisted that, "If the building goes over by an auction, all the deposits are blown. That person hit the backs of the common people and took advantage of the auction."

In addition, it is known that Cho received investment from the students and club members gathered while lecturing on his father-in-law, and the amount of embezzlement and embezzlement amounted to 7.6 billion won.



One of the members of the club in the lawsuit with Mr. Cho said, "I collected about 15 billion won in investment to make a thousand good rich people. I made a profit by conducting a real estate auction with that money, but I have never returned profit to investors." He revealed the reason for the lawsuit with him.



Accordingly, the production team met with Jo in person and asked what had happened.

Then Mr. Jo replied, "I have a minor mistake, but I am innocent as it is a dispute caused by an interest dispute. I don't think I need any more words. I will speak with a judgment."



The informant, who lost 400 million won through stock investment, said, "I bought after looking at the information of an investment cafe, and that was all manipulation. A few days later, the listing was delisted and all the recommended stocks became pieces of paper, but the cafe representative could not be charged with fraud. He said, “It wasn't a fraud because I was the one who bought the purchase only while training.”



Biogroup Shillagen, whose stock trading was suspended in May last year on charges of embezzlement by former management.

Shillazen, who developed a breakthrough cancer treatment.

With the highest ratio of individual investors on the KOSDAQ, 90% of the investments invested by 170,000 individuals are about to disappear into the air.



The representative of the minority shareholders' association expressed regret at the prosecution's position, which said, "It is difficult to admit the allegations of the use of undisclosed information of malicious material and the suspicion of the lobbying of political relations has not been confirmed."

He also said, "The Korean exchange is resentful. I know they've done something wrong, but if they restart the transaction, they pretend not to know because the risk to bear in the future is too great."



A startup investment company called Optional Ventures that emerged as an item of interest in 2002.

The news that a well-known fund manager acquired the company and invested by a successful company, Lee Myung-bak, raised expectations for a share price rise.



However, after that, BBK representative Kim Gyeong-jun embezzled 37.1 billion won and fled to the US and delisted, and more than 5,000 individual investors suffered damage of over 100 billion won.



And Lee Myung-bak was suspicious of the actual owner of BBK in 2007, but in this regard, a special prosecutor said, "Lee Myung-bak cannot be a direct evidence for the stock manipulation embezzlement crime."

As a result, Kim Kyung-jun's solo crime was confirmed.



Kim Gyeong-jun, whom I met a few years ago, said, "I'm not sorry, I'm not asking for anything. The conviction came only for me and Lee Myung-bak was not charged, so he never went to court. If I'm guilty, Lee Myung-bak is also an accomplice. So, do a re-investigation." He raised his voice.



Since then, Lee Myung-bak was sentenced to a first trial for suspicion of embezzling a dozen slush funds.

The judiciary said, "It is fully admitted that Dozen's beneficial owner is Lee Myung-bak," said Lee Myung-bak, the beneficial owner of'Dozen' who invested in BBK.



Yong-Hoon Jang, CEO of Optional Ventures, who sued in the United States for 16 years in search of money embezzled by Kim Kyung-jun.

He said, "I now know why it wasn't over. Only Lee Myung-bak can use the world's top-class lawyer named Akin Gumfra. If he is not, who can use such a lawyer?" .



In addition, the production crew obtained and released an agreement written by Kim Kyung-jun with Das in the past.

In the agreement obtained by the production staff, "Forever exempt from all obligations related to a dozen, Kim Gyeong-joon and other defendants related to LKe Bank's employees, executives, executives, shareholders, Lee Myung-bak and Kim Baek-jun related to other transactions in the court litigation referred to in this agreement. I will not knowingly make critical negative remarks” was stated.



What Kim Gyeong-joon gained by distributing the embezzled money was that his family's freedom as an accomplice, and what he promised to get it was that he would not disclose a deal with Lee Myung-bak.



The production team also conducted an interview with Mary Lee, a lawyer who has been tracking their transactions for a long time.

"The really important part is still hidden," said Mary Lee. "The reason that minority shareholders suffered the most damage was that the listing was abolished due to capital encroachment. Das and LKe Bank are the leading players." Pointed out.



Unlike Lee Myung-bak's assertion that Gyeong-Jun Kim claimed that the stock price manipulation and embezzlement took place only after the separation of BBK and LKe, he also emphasized that the money from Das entered the process of stock price manipulation embezzlement conducted by Kim Gyeong-jun and became funding.

In addition, it was confirmed that “the LKe bank account was used for both the false purchase and the masquerade trade”. Unlike this, the records of the initial investigation and the ruling at the time of the case were all missing the name of the company that can be linked with Lee Myung-bak.



In response, attorney Mary Lee said, "Why did 5,000 minority shareholders clamor for delisting in 2002? Why did they remove LKe and put Orients in. I believe that the bridge was cut because the corporation was a bridge to MB." .

And Mary Lee said all of these data were sent to the Korean Court of Appeals.



Mary Lee said, "Wouldn't the actions we have done so far in relation to the US lawsuit have to be taken into account in sentence and bail?" and said, "I made a petition with the hope that the truth will be known even after 10 or 20 years, even if it is not revealed immediately."

However, in the judgment of Lee Myung-bak's appeal trial, none of the petitions could be found.



In the final judgment, Lee Myung-bak was sent back to jail for 17 years in prison, 13 billion won in fine, and 5.78 billion won in additional fines.

However, Lee Myung-bak's side protested that the spirit of the law was ignored.



In the case of the Optimus Fund and Lime Fund, where an asset manager is committed to committing fraud or taking money to prevent investment loss, embezzlement and fees, and small investors losing all their assets.

Political people were always involved in these cases.

In this regard, experts pointed out the role of the Financial Supervisory Service, which is leaving a hand.



The government is indifferent to punishment and return, and money craze is blowing again on this unfair playground.

Accordingly, the broadcast removed the barriers of scammers who manipulate in the craze, those who pursue crime, and politicians and brokers who trade in return, and who they are and what they did to the end, and asked until the end so that they could be judged by Korean law. He said he would ask.
