Bithumb Holdings董事会前主席Junghoon Lee和Bithumb Korea被指控犯有价值1,100亿韩元的欺诈指控，他终于被判无罪。

根据法律界17日的说法，最高法院的第一庭（首席大法官Seo Kyung-Hwan）确认了原始裁决，该裁决无罪释放。

Junghoon Lee, the former chairman of Bithumb Holdings and Bithumb Korea, who was indicted on charges of fraud worth 110 billion won, has finally been acquitted.

Bithumb Holdings的前董事长Junghoon Lee终于被指控犯有价值1,100亿韩元的欺诈指控。

According to the legal community on the 17th, the first division of the Supreme Court (Chief Justice Seo Kyung-hwan) confirmed the original ruling that acquitted former chairman Lee, who was accused of fraud and other charges under the Aggravated Punishment Act on Specific Economic Crimes.

根据法律界在17日的说法，最高法院的第一庭（首席大法官Seo Kyung-Hwan）确认了原始裁决，该裁决无罪释放，前李被指控欺诈和根据对特定经济犯罪的严重惩罚法案指控。

As a result, it is evaluated that the “major shareholder judicial risk” that followed Bithumb has also been completely resolved. Former chairman Lee is a de facto major shareholder who holds about two-thirds of Bithumb Holdings' stake, including friendly forces.

结果，评估了Bithumb随后的“主要股东司法风险”也已完全解决。李前主席是事实上的主要股东，他拥有Bithumb Holdings的三分之二的股份，包括友好部队。

Former chairman Lee reportedly proposed to BK Group Chairman Kim Byung-gun in October 2018 to manage Bithumb together.

据报道，李前主席李在2018年10月向BK Group主席Kim Byung-Gun提议一起管理Bithumb。

Chairman Kim said at the time that he would acquire a stake in Bithumb Holdings for $350 million through a BK Global consortium.

Kim主席当时表示，他将通过BK全球财团以3.5亿美元的价格获得Bithumb Holdings的股份。

However, Chairman Kim failed to return the down payment worth $100 million (112 billion won at the time) because he could not pay the balance until the deadline for payment of the acquisition payment.

但是，Kim董事长未能退还价值1亿美元（当时为1,120亿韩元）的首付，因为他无法支付余额，直到支付收购付款的截止日期为止。

In this regard, Chairman Kim claimed that former Chairman Lee stole the down payment by deceiving him that he would issue a virtual asset called “Bithumb Coin (BXA)” and list it on Bithumb.

在这方面，主席金声称，前董事长李通过欺骗他，他将发行称为“ Bithumb Coin（BXA）”的虚拟资产，并在Bithumb上列出。

In fact, in January 2019, Bithumb announced the listing of BXA Coin, but failed to list it due to regulations by financial authorities. This is because the Financial Services Commission banned the disclosure of all forms of virtual assets (ICO) between 2017 and 2018. The Financial Services Commission has also expressed its intention to ban indirect listing through overseas.

实际上，2019年1月，Bithumb宣布了BXA硬币的上市，但由于金融当局的规定，未能将其列出。这是因为金融服务委员会在2017年至2018年之间禁止披露所有形式的虚拟资产（ICO）。金融服务委员会还表示打算在海外禁止间接上市。

Prosecutors indicted Lee without detention in July 2021, and later sought eight years in prison for him in a trial.

检察官于2021年7月起诉李无拘留，后来在一次审判中为他寻求八年监禁。

However, the court considered that the reason why former chairman Lee did not commit to listing BXA coins and failed to list was not related to former chairman Lee's intention or ability.

但是，法院认为，前李前主席不承诺列出BXA硬币而未能列出的原因与前董事长的意图或能力无关。

The first trial acquitted Lee because there was no evidence to believe that he had promised Kim to list BXA.

第一次审判无罪释放，因为没有证据表明他已承诺Kim列出BXA。

The second trial also acquitted him, saying, "Some exaggerated statements and violations of the obligation to notify may be considered in relation to civil liability, but the conclusion of the contract itself is insufficient to be regarded as a fraud subject to punishment under the criminal law." The Supreme Court also saw no problem with the ruling.

第二次审判也使他无罪，他说：“一些夸张的陈述和违反了通知义务的行为可能与民事责任有关，但合同本身的结论不足以被视为根据刑法受到惩罚的欺诈行为。”最高法院也认为该裁决没有问题。

On the other hand, some predict that Bithumb's listing could start in earnest. This is because the legal risk of major shareholders has been resolved.

另一方面，有些人预测Bithumb的清单可能会认真开始。这是因为已经解决了主要股东的法律风险。

An official from Bithumb said, "We are preparing to be listed within this year."

Bithumb的一位官员说：“我们准备在今年列出。”
