However, the defendant thought that the amount received from the victim was lent to the beneficiary at the time, and there was no intention to invest in the NPL, so even if the amount was received from the victim, there was no intention or ability to pay the principal and the profit within the agreed time limit.

Around May 20, 2014, the Defendant made a false statement to the victim, and around May 20, 2014, from the victim, 10 million won with C’s account under the name of the Defendant.
