Punishment of the crime

[2012 Highest 742] The Defendant did not think that the Defendant would engage in a business with the victim even if he received money from the victim D as investment money in June 2005, and did not have any intent or ability to leave the profit by investing the investment money in full to E, or by importing and selling clothes from China.

Nevertheless, the defendant paid investment money to the victim for the business of importing and selling clothes from China, and it means that if he/she conducts a business, he/she can left profits, and received investment money from the victim and received some of them for personal use.
