Earlier, A was accused of receiving 8 million won under the pretext of a service fee and repayment payment on behalf of others, claiming to assist with personal rehabilitation procedures despite not having a lawyer’s qualification in 2022. During this process, he also seized a laptop under the pretext of repayment for rehabilitation and sold it at a low price.
Additionally, in 2020, A deceived his girlfriend B by lying and made her take out a loan under the pretext of business funds, embezzling 13.37 million won.

He also embezzled the sales proceeds by selling a foreign car he received from another girlfriend, C, under the pretext of consignment sales.
