<Anchor> As



interest in cryptocurrency is high these days, concerns are growing. Promoting it as a top-notch cryptocurrency exchange and attracting investors, they are being investigated by police for committing massive multi-level fraud.



It is estimated that the number of victims will exceed 50,000, and first of all, reporter Han Sung-hee reports how they cheated.

[Exchange employee A (investment briefing): How much do you think I would have made? Despite being an office worker. 2 billion? It's less than 4 billion won.]



Proud of your own income and recommending that you pay 6 million won to become a member.



[Exchange employee A (investment briefing session): If you buy a 6 million won membership card once, what can we do? 1800 (10,000 won) comes out.] It means



that it guarantees a yield of 300%, and even applause is poured out for the end of the monthly coin payment.



[Exchange employee B (investment briefing): 100-200 living expenses per month, right? right? Then, I am willing to charge and use 6 million won (coin). Isn't it? Can happen. It will charge you 20% more.] VGlobal, a cryptocurrency



exchange, held such briefings all over the country and gathered investors.



If I bring in someone else, I even promised additional revenue, including referral fees.



Like a typical multi-level scam, a roundabout technique was mobilized.



[Han Sang-Jun/Attorney: Investors in the early stage are paid to investors in the back by'returning' the investment. There were people who actually saw the income.] They



said that they have alliances with 21 banks and even receive due diligence, but it was a lie.



[Commercial bank manager: We have a strategic partnership with us, and it is not such a company at all. It seems that they just



opened the

account and promoted it like that.] The

police believe that at least 50,000 people have handed over 2 trillion won to this company since last August.



Of these, the 240 billion won remaining in the exchange account has been confiscated and preserved, but the whereabouts of the rest of the money remains unchanged.



The police, who have confirmed the scale of the damage through extensive seizure and search, will ban 10 people, including business executives, from leaving the country, and will conduct a summons investigation in the near future.
