In the opinion of the court below, the court below held that the crime of fraud of this case committed prior to the final and conclusive judgment in relation to the final and conclusive judgment of the defendant was committed in the same manner as the motive and method of the crime, and repeated crimes of the same kind of crime within a limited period of time, and therefore, the facts charged of this case are considered to have been committed in conflict with the res judicata of the final and conclusive judgment, and therefore, it is not consistent with the theory of punishment.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed, and it is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating judges.
