The Defendant is the representative director of B Co., Ltd. (Co., Ltd. before the change on October 31, 201), which is an illegal multi-level company, and G is the president of the said company, and H is the director of the said company. On July 17, 2009, the Defendant was sentenced to a suspended sentence of three years for one year and six months in imprisonment with prison labor for a violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes

(a) Violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes;

On January 2012, the Defendant, along with G and H, conducted a project explanation to the effect that “I will operate a business of lending financial complex terminals at our company. If I make an investment of KRW 300,000 won and KRW 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,

However, the Defendant, G, and H had no intent or ability to secure a large number of member stores as much as they can pay the settlement fee of KRW 20,000 per week to investors, and there was no choice but to take the method of paying the profits of senior investors by using the investment funds attracting from junior investors. Therefore, insofar as the new investors did not increase in water supply, the Defendant, G, and H did not have the ability to pay the high rate of allowances promised.

In addition, the Defendant received KRW 80 million from the Victim J to February 2, 2012 under the pretext of investment in 200 financial complex terminals from 1,11. to 2, 2012, as well as from June 10, 2011 to February 2, 2012, the Defendant received a total of KRW 3.613.6 million from 334 persons in total from 3.6 billion to 3.6 million in total from 3.6 billion in the same manner as indicated in the attached list of crimes.

Accordingly, the defendant was provided property by deceiving victims habitually in collusion with G and H.

No one shall conduct any financial transaction without performing any transaction of goods, etc. by using a multi-level marketing organization or any similar organization comprised of persons who have joined a multi-level marketing organization or any similar organization, or conduct any financial transaction only by pretending the transaction of goods, etc.

However, if the defendant has invested 40,000 won (30,000 won + 100,000 won) to many and unspecified persons in B offices described in the above paragraph (1) from June 10, 201 to February 2, 201, 300,000 won (30,000 won) in one terminal, 40,000 won (30,000,000 won) in 16, 30,000,000 won and 16,000,000 won and 16,000,000,000 won and 2,000,000 won and 2,000,000 won and 2,000,000 won and 2,000,000 won and 2,000,000 won and 2,000 won and 3,000,00 won and 2,00.

Accordingly, in collusion with G and H, the Defendant committed an act of actual monetary transaction by using a multi-level organization that is composed of persons who have joined a multi-level marketing organization similar to that of multi-level marketing organizations in order to disguise the transaction of goods.

C. Violation of the Act on the Regulation of Conducting Fund-Raising Business without Permission

No person shall engage in an act of fund-raising business without obtaining authorization or permission, or making registration or report pursuant to Acts and subordinate statutes and promising to pay the total amount of investment or an amount in excess thereof in the future, and engage in any fund-raising business from many unspecified persons.

Nevertheless, without obtaining authorization, permission, registration, and reporting under the laws and regulations with G and H, the Defendant issued a business explanation meeting to the effect that “if an investment of KRW 400,000 won is made to one unit of a financial complex device, 50,000 won per week shall be paid to every 20,000 won, and additional allowances shall be paid according to the results of attracting subordinate investors” at the office of the first patrolman Co., Ltd., Ltd. on January 2, 2012, the Defendant received KRW 80,000,000 from the J to February 2, 2012, as indicated in the attached Table 1, the sum of KRW 360,360,000,000 from the investors in the same manner as indicated in the attached Table 1, from June 10 to February 2, 2011.

Accordingly, the Defendant, in collusion with G and H, committed a fund-raising act without delay.

(a) Violation of the Door-to-Door Sales Act;

The representative director of the defendant 1-B, at the time, and at the place specified in paragraph 1-B, performed only monetary transactions by pretending to trade goods, etc. using a multi-level organization as described in paragraph 1-b.

Judgment on the assertion of Defendant A and Defense Counsel

With respect to the violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes (Fraud), the defendant only provided the victims with KRW 20,000 per share for the first four months, and there was no mentioning the period for the payment of KRW 550,00 per share, and the debt of KRW 1.90,000,000,00,000,000,000,000,000,000 won,

Reasons for sentencing

1. Defendant A

(a) Scope of recommended sentences according to the sentencing criteria;

1) Violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes (Fraud)

(a) Determinations of type: Fraud, organized fraud, type 3 (at least 500 million won, but less than 5 billion won);

(B) Special person: A decision on the recommended area where the victims are also responsible for the occurrence of a crime or the expansion of damage (requirements of mitigation) and have planned and status to commit the crime for a considerable period of time; where the victims have committed repeated crimes for an unspecified number of unspecified victims (as a factor of aggravation): the basic area;

D) Scope of recommendations: Imprisonment of up to seven years;

2) Application of standards for handling multiple crimes: Violation of the Act on Door-to-Door Sales, etc. without sentencing guidelines for the above crime for at least four years and violation of the Act on Regulation of the Act on the Regulation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes (Fraud), compliance with the lowest

(b) Determination of sentence;

The fact that some of the victims did not want to punish the defendant or received investment money from the defendant to AE stocks, and that a considerable portion of the received amount in the judgment is already returned to some victims in the form of investment earnings, and the actual amount of damage seems to be much less than the above received amount, and that the victims were partly causing enormous damage.

However, even though the defendant had been punished for the same crime, he planned and led to the crime of this case in which the defendant acquired enormous money from many unspecified victims in a short period of time by guaranteeing a long-term high profit with respect to the business of lending a device, and without the multi-stage structure. In light of such circumstances, the defendant seems to have been punished, and the defendant argued that most of the victims agreed to be punished. However, the victims who did not want to punish the defendant or have recovered from the damage caused by AE shares of the defendant are less than 130 if they were to exclude the overlapping number of the documents submitted by the defendant and the number of the persons not indicated in the attached Table 1, and the amount of the investment money was converted to AE shares, but the return of cash, which is the main condition of the agreement, was not entirely implemented. Considering the fact that the defendant paid investment money in cash to the rest of victims, the victims who did not have been subject to recovery of the financial structure of AE corporation cannot be seen as being disadvantageous to the defendant.

In addition, considering all the circumstances shown in the arguments of this case, such as the age, character and conduct, the environment, the means and result of the crime, the circumstances after the crime, etc., the punishment shall be determined within the scope of the applicable punishment by law.

2. The Defendant B was already sentenced to a fine due to the violation of the Door-to-Door Sales, etc. Act, and all of the sentencing conditions on the records, including the Defendant’s internal situation and financial standing, shall be determined by comprehensively taking into account.
