In February, Mr. A, in his 60s, who is self-employed in Seoul, received an attractive proposal from an acquaintance.



He said that investing in a cryptocurrency exchange gives him more than three times the return, and he has made a lot of money.



Mr. A did not know much about cryptocurrency.



However, it is said that he decided to invest because he saw the news that the coin price has increased significantly.



[Mr. A/victim: The person who entered into a business agreement with Binance (virtual currency exchange) and introduced this story to me continued to tell me that. So, anyway, I am aiming to become a general holding company.]



I invested 60 million won in retirement funds, but most of them were in a position to be blown away except for the first month's proceeds.



[Mr. A/victim: There is nothing wrong with the company. There is no problem with these people all the time.]



Victim B, who was invited by his mother to sign up, made recommendations to other family members after seeing the proceeds being deposited.



[Mr. B/victim: The opportunity to join is a close friend or family member, so there are many cases where people join. So, because I believe in people, I am less suspicious, and when I show my money in my bankbook,'I made this way' (because I made it….)] The



victims were unfamiliar with cryptocurrency, but they had high expectations that they would make high profits. I didn't have any doubts about the words of my judgment.



[Mr. B/victim: (victim) There are many people in their 50s, 60s, and 70s. There are a lot of difficult terms. It's bitcoin, as I said earlier, it's an exchange, a blockchain, and using these terms, it's a luxurious image... .] The



amount of damage is expected to increase significantly as many people do not know about the damage to this day.
