1. Article relevant to the facts constituting an offense and the selection of punishment;

Article 3 (1) 2 of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes (hereinafter referred to as the "Specific Economic Crimes Act"), Article 347 (1) of the Criminal Act (the fraud of the victim K, L, and B), Article 347 (1) of each Criminal Act (the fraud of the victim against the money victim and the choice of imprisonment)

1. Aggravation for concurrent crimes;

Article 37 (former part of Article 37, Article 38 (1) 2, and Article 50 of the Criminal Act [Article 50 of the Criminal Act concerning Victim K with the largest penalty and penalty for concurrent crimes prescribed by the Act on the Violation of the Specific Economic Crimes (Fraud)]

1. Orders for compensation and sentence of provisional execution;

1. Reasons for sentencing under Article 25(1)1 and 3, Article 31(1) and (3) of the Act on Special Cases concerning the Promotion, etc. of Legal Proceedings

2. Application of the sentencing criteria;

[Determination of Punishment] General Fraud 3 types (at least 50 million won, but less than 500 billion won): Reduction element: Victims are also responsible for the occurrence of crimes or the expansion of damage.

Aggravations: Where a crime has been committed against unspecified or large number of victims or repeatedly over a considerable period of time;

[Scope of Recommendation] Basic Field, 3-6 years of imprisonment

3. Determination of sentence: Determination of sentence shall be made in consideration of the following six years of imprisonment, taking into account the defendant's age, character and conduct, the process of growth, environment, motive, means and consequence of the crime, various factors of sentencing as shown in the pleadings of this case, and the scope of recommended sentences on the sentencing criteria after considering the circumstances after the crime.

【Unfavorable Circumstances】

The crime of this case is a crime committed by abusing the religious belief of a large number of the victims, which is a pastors, and is not very good, requiring the victims to make a statement to the effect that they sent missionary money rather than making an investment to the victims, and making a reply or intimidation to the effect that if they do not comply with this, they may not receive any return of the investment money. The crime of this case was committed with the intent to divide the economic benefits of the members or to make it difficult to understand that the crime of this case was committed in good faith for the missionary work. As a result of the Defendant actively recommended the victims to make an investment while obtaining a loan from the victims, the victims suffered additional damages due to the loan interest burden, etc. Furthermore, although the Defendant set up a right to collateral for the purpose of restoring damage, it is doubtful whether the damage recovery could be actually made in the auction procedure to be conducted in view of the value of the object and senior mortgage, and the other victims’ damage was not recovered at all.

On the other hand, the Defendant was prosecuted for committing the crime of deceiving a person, etc. by deceiving him in the same manner as the instant crime, and sentenced to six years of imprisonment at the first instance trial after the dismissal of the appeal (Seoul Central District Court Decision 2017Da1098, Supreme Court 2017Da150, Supreme Court Decision 2018Do1227). The first instance judgment in the instant case considered the grounds for sentencing disadvantageous to the fact that the actual defrauded amount is more than the above 2 billion won, and the sentencing guidelines for sentencing is more than 5 billion won and not less than 3 years but not more than 4 years and 8 years (the lower limit of 1/3 has increased as a result of adding up the amounts of deception in accordance with the foregoing written criteria). However, as seen earlier, considering the fact that there is no serious degree of damage to the instant crime that the Defendant, who is a wood company, committed the instant crime against a large number of persons, the sentencing guidelines does not seem to be appropriate and it does not seem to have properly go against the above the above sentencing sentencing.

【Free Circumstances】

The Defendant recognized the basic factual relations. Some victims received money on the pretext of receiving money and seem to have less than the amount of actual damage recognized in the crime. The Defendant did not have any other criminal records other than those sentenced to a fine once on the grounds of the crime of the crime of the crime of the crime of the crime of the past twenty years.
