around August 2014, the Defendants recommended the victim BJ, etc., attending the briefing session, to the effect that “the victim BJ, etc., who is located in the second floor of the Nbuilding in Seoul Special Metropolitan City, will operate a franchise restaurant in a foreign country and promote an integrated transportation card business in a foreign country, and pay dividends with the proceeds therefrom. It is 50,000 won in a single unit, and if the investment of the seven unit is made, 9-10,000 won in 2 times a week until the principal reaches 200%.”

However, the main purpose of fact was to attract subordinate investors to pay dividends to senior investors with the investment money, and the business of a long-term franchise restaurant was to receive the said investment, so that the business was formally promoted to receive the said investment, and there was no actual profit, and the prospect was also unclear, and the integrated transportation card business was not promoted, so it was not possible to pay dividends with the operating profit of the business in question.
