According to Foresight News, News 1 reported that a Woori Bank employee was arrested and indicted for embezzling 18 billion won (about 13 million U.S. dollars), of which about 15 billion won (about 10.84 million U.S. dollars) was spent on purchasing virtual assets. From July to May last year, the employee forged loan documents 35 times in the name of 17 customers, including individuals and companies, applied for false loans, and then transferred the loan amount to the accounts of acquaintances, totaling about 17.77 billion won.

The prosecution confiscated 180 million won at the employee's residence and froze virtual asset exchange deposits, bank deposits, and rental deposits totaling approximately 4.5 billion won through confiscation preservation and collection preservation.
