韩国法院判决3 Crypto骗局成员因欺骗6.1亿韩元中的投资者而入狱

韩国法院因欺骗6.1亿韩元的投资者（约合460000美元）而判处三名加密骗子骗局的成员判处监狱。

A South Korean court has sentenced three members of a crypto scam ring to prison for defrauding investors out of 610 million won (approximately $460,000) by promising high returns through cryptocurrency investments.

韩国法院因通过加密货币投资有望获得高额回报，以欺骗6.1亿韩元（约合460,000美元）的投资者，判处三名加密骗局戒指的成员判处监狱。

Busan District Court’s Criminal Division 6, led by Presiding Judge Kim Yong-gyun, announced the verdict on March 30, as reported by local news outlet Chosun Ilbo.

由当地新闻媒体乔森·伊尔博（Chosun Ilbo）报道，由主审法官金杨（Kim Yong-gyun）领导的釜山地方法院的刑事司6于3月30日宣布了判决。

The court sentenced the group’s leader, Mr. A, who served as the CEO of an investment company, to 4.5 years in prison. Two other members of the gang received prison sentences of 3.5 years and 2.5 years, respectively.

法院判处该组织的领导人A先生，担任投资公司首席执行官，判处4。5年。该团伙的另外两名成员分别被判3。5年和2。5年。

The defendants established an investment firm in Busan in June 2019, claiming they would select and trade around 1,000 high-quality virtual currencies from across the globe. They promised investors monthly returns of 30% on their original investments.

被告于2019年6月在釜山成立了一家投资公司，声称他们将从全球选择和交易约1,000个高质量的虚拟货币。他们承诺投资者的原始投资每月收益为30％。

However, the group did not manage the funds as promised and instead embezzled the money for personal use.

但是，该小组没有按照承诺的资金管理资金，而是挪用了个人用途的资金。

The court noted that the defendants’ actions were particularly egregious due to the victims’ lack of knowledge about cryptocurrency investments, which made them easy targets for the scammers.

法院指出，由于受害者缺乏对加密货币投资的了解，被告的行为特别严重，这使他们对诈骗者的目标很容易。

“Mr. A and others committed the crime by taking advantage of the victims’ lack of knowledge about coin investment,” Judge Kim said.

金法官说：“ A先生和其他人利用受害者缺乏关于硬币投资的知识来犯罪。”

He added that the method and circumstances of the crime were “very poor” as they deceived investors with false promises.

他补充说，犯罪的方法和情况“非常贫穷”，因为他们以虚假的诺言欺骗了投资者。

This case highlights the growing problem of crypto-related fraud in South Korea. Earlier this month, prosecutors arrested a top crypto market maker on scam coin-related charges.

此案强调了韩国加密相关欺诈的日益增长的问题。本月初，检察官以骗局硬币相关的指控逮捕了一名顶级加密推销商。
