Lee Sang-jun, former CEO of Bithumb Holdings, who was indicted along with Mr. Ahn on charges of receiving bribes in exchange for a request to list cryptocurrency, was sentenced to five years in prison, confiscation of 30.5 million won, and additional collection of 1.525 billion won.
In addition, Kang Jong-hyeon, a businessman who requested listing, and Mr. Song, an official of the coin issuer, were sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison and 8 months in prison, respectively.
The prosecution claimed that Mr. Ahn and former CEO Lee received 3 billion won in cash, luxury watches, restaurant membership cards, etc. from Mr. Kang and requested that A Coin be listed on Bithumb.
Although it is true that Mr. Ahn received the money, he denies the charges, claiming that it was for investment purposes unrelated to the listing request.
