涉嫌以保证本金为条件鼓励熟人投资加密货币Nestri的Cube Entertainment首席执行官康成焕否认了这一指控，并表示：“我从来没有以保证本金为条件鼓励投资。”

据加密货币行业9日消息，姜代表是Cube Entertainment的第一大股东，该公司于2022年3月以1亿韩元参与了Nestri实际发行人Nestri Media Group的实收增资，获得了40%的股权。 % 的公司股权。

Nestri Media Group is a company specializing in blockchain technology based on information technology (IT). It operates an e-commerce platform 'Nestri Mall' utilizing the cryptocurrency Nestri and is involved in non-fungible token (NFT) related businesses.

Nestri Media Group是一家专注于基于信息技术（IT）的区块链技术的公司。它利用加密货币Nestri运营电子商务平台“Nestri Mall”，并参与非同质代币（NFT）相关业务。

The price of the cryptocurrency Nestri surged after the news that Cube Entertainment participated in the capital increase of Nestri Media Group. In February 2022, Nestri was traded at around 5 won per unit, but after the news of the capital increase, the price jumped to the 50 won range. The collaboration news with Cube Entertainment led to a more than tenfold increase in price within a month.

Cube Entertainment参与Nestri Media Group增资的消息传出后，加密货币Nestri的价格飙升。 2022年2月，Nestri的交易价格约为每单位5韩元，但增资消息传出后，价格跃升至50韩元区间。与Cube Entertainment的合作消息，导致价格在一个月内上涨了十倍以上。

It is reported that CEO Kang encouraged people around him to invest in Nestri around the time Cube Entertainment participated in the capital increase of Nestri Media Group. An investor, Mr. A, said, "CEO Kang encouraged investment in early 2022, saying 'I will guarantee the principal, trust and buy,'" adding, "Believing in CEO Kang's words, securities industry and Cube Entertainment officials, as well as private lenders, rushed to invest in Nestri." Mr. B, who invested in Nestri along with Mr. A, believed in CEO Kang's words and invested about 80 million won in Nestri in March 2022, but suffered a loss of over 70 million won as the value of Nestri plummeted.

据悉，在Cube Entertainment参与Nestri Media Group增资前后，康CEO就鼓励身边的人投资Nestri。投资者A先生表示：“康董事长在2022年初鼓励投资，说‘我会保证本金，信任并购买’”，并补充道，“相信康董事长的话，证券界和Cube Entertainment的官员也相信这一点。”作为私人贷款人，急于投资 Nestri。”与A先生一起投资Nestri的B先生相信了康代表的话，于2022年3月向Nestri投资了约8000万韩元，但随着Nestri的价值暴跌，损失超过7000万韩元。

Nestri was listed on the domestic cryptocurrency exchanges Coinone and Bithumb in August 2019 and April 2020, respectively, promoting a messenger service specialized for blockchain-based communities. However, the main business, the messenger, has effectively ceased operations. 'Nestri Mall', which offers discounts based on the amount of Nestri held, has not yet closed, but all registered products are either sold out or sales have been suspended.

Nestri分别于2019年8月和2020年4月在国内加密货币交易所Coinone和Bithumb上市，推广专门针对区块链社区的即时通讯服务。然而，主要业务——信使——实际上已经停止运营。根据持有的 Nestri 数量提供折扣的“Nestri Mall”尚未关闭，但所有注册产品要么已售空，要么已暂停销售。

Investors who were persuaded by CEO Kang to invest in Nestri demanded that CEO Kang guarantee the principal as promised, but received the response, "I never promised to guarantee the principal." There are also talks that CEO Kang tried to appease them by providing information on other coin investments he was pushing to list on domestic exchanges, saying, "I will help you recover the loss with another coin." Cube Entertainment also announced at the end of last year that it plans to add the coin as a payment method in services operated by an affiliated company.

被康总裁说服投资Nestri的投资者要求康总裁按承诺保证本金，但得到的答复是“我从未承诺保证本金”。还有传言称，康首席执行官试图通过提供他正在推动在国内交易所上市的其他代币投资的信息来安抚他们，并表示，“我将用另一种代币帮助你们弥补损失。” Cube Entertainment 去年年底还宣布，计划将代币作为支付方式添加到关联公司运营的服务中。

Regarding this, CEO Kang said, "The allegations that I and Cube Entertainment were involved in a 'scam coin' are completely unfounded." He emphasized, "There was no fact of encouraging cryptocurrency investment with the condition of guaranteeing the principal." He stated, "The participation in Nestri Media Group's paid-in capital increase was an investment conducted as part of Cube Entertainment's expansion into new blockchain businesses, and business collaboration with Nestri will continue in the future." When asked if he had invested in Nestri coins before establishing Nestri Media Group, he replied, "I have invested, but I did not make a profit by selling at a high point, and rather suffered a loss."

对此，康代表表示：“有关我和Cube Entertainment参与‘骗币’的指控完全没有根据。”他强调，“不存在以保证本金为条件鼓励加密货币投资的事实”。他表示，“参与Nestri Media Group实收资本增资是Cube Entertainment拓展新区块链业务的一部分而进行的投资，未来与Nestri的业务合作将继续下去。”当被问及他在成立Nestri Media Group之前是否投资过Nestri币时，他回答说：“我投资过，但我没有通过高点卖出获利，反而遭受了损失。”

Attempts to contact Seong-jae Lee, CEO of Nestri Media Group, were unsuccessful. CEO Lee is identified as the actual issuer of Nestri. Nestri Media Group has an office in Umyeon-dong, Seoul. The office is used as a kind of virtual office, renting the address for business registration purposes.
