Six Chinese nationals were arrested in Jeju on January 16 for attempting to exchange 1 billion won for Tether Coin, a virtual currency, in an incident that involved an assault and robbery of a currency exchange dealer.

1 月 16 日，六名中國公民因試圖用 10 億韓元兌換虛擬貨幣 Tether Coin 在濟州島襲擊和搶劫貨幣兌換商而被捕。

According to the Jeju Bukbu Police Station, the suspects, led by a man identified as A in his 40s, planned to exchange virtual currency with the victims, who were identified as travel agency operators catering to Chinese tourists.

據濟州北部警察局稱，犯罪嫌疑人以一名40多歲的A男子為首，計劃與受害者兌換虛擬貨幣，受害者被確定為接待中國遊客的旅行社經營者。

The suspects arrived in Jeju on January 13 and 14 using a visa waiver entry system, disguising themselves as relatives or acquaintances.

犯罪嫌疑人於1月13日至14日利用免簽證入境系統抵達濟州島，偽裝成親戚或熟人。

The suspects and the victims agreed to exchange the money through Chinese exchange intermediaries, with the suspects providing the victims with 1 billion won in cash and 840 million won in virtual currency.

嫌犯與受害者同意透過中國兌換中介機構兌換資金，嫌犯向受害者提供了10億韓元現金和8.4億韓元虛擬貨幣。

However, the suspects later claimed that their Tether Coin had disappeared into thin air while being transferred within their virtual wallet, prompting them to assault and rob the victims.

然而，嫌疑人後來聲稱，他們的 Tether Coin 在轉移到虛擬錢包時消失得無影無踪，促使他們襲擊和搶劫受害者。

One of the victims, identified as A, reported the assault to the police, who quickly arrested two of the suspects, including a man identified as B, at the hotel where the exchange was taking place.

其中一名受害者 A 向警方報告了這起襲擊事件，警方很快在進行交換的酒店逮捕了兩名嫌疑人，其中包括一名男子 B。

The remaining suspects were apprehended at Jeju International Airport and a currency exchange.

其餘嫌疑人在濟州國際機場和貨幣兌換處被捕。

Authorities recovered 369 million won from the suspects but are continuing to investigate the whereabouts of the remaining stolen funds.

當局從嫌疑人手中追回了 3.69 億韓元，但仍在繼續調查剩餘被盜資金的下落。

The suspects have denied the charges, claiming that they only intended to exchange the money for Chinese currency.

嫌疑人否認了這些指控，聲稱他們只是想把錢換成人民幣。

However, investigators believe that the group planned to exploit the transaction to steal virtual currency.

然而，調查人員認為，該集團計劃利用該交易竊取虛擬貨幣。

Police suspect that the group accessed the Tether Coin wallet during the exchange process and attacked A to recover the missing money.

警方懷疑該團夥在兌換過程中訪問了 Tether Coin 錢包，並攻擊 A 以追回丟失的錢。

The police are also investigating a possible link between A and another currency exchange dealer, who may have processed the virtual currency transactions.

警方也正在調查 A 與另一家可能處理虛擬貨幣交易的貨幣兌換商之間可能的關聯。

Authorities are digging deeper into the intricacies of the heist to uncover any further involvement or hidden motives.

當局正在深入調查這起搶劫案的錯綜複雜，以找出任何進一步的參與或隱藏的動機。
