The defendant's appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
1. The main point of the grounds for appeal is that the lower court’s punishment (a fine of KRW 6 million, confiscation) is too unreasonable.
2. As in the instant case, in full view of the following factors: (a) the act of running a business of exchanging game outcomes, as seen in the instant case, requires a strict punishment for committing a crime of the same kind; (b) the Defendant’s age, character and conduct, family environment; (c) the background of the instant crime; (d) the operating period; and (e) the conditions of sentencing as shown in the instant pleadings, including the circumstances before and after the instant crime, etc., the lower court’s punishment cannot be deemed unreasonable, even considering the grounds for sentencing asserted by the Defendant
3. According to the conclusion, the defendant's appeal is dismissed in accordance with Article 364 (4) of the Criminal Procedure Act. It is so decided as per Disposition.
