According to ChainCatcher, Chosun Biz reported that Delio, a South Korean virtual asset management and lending platform, issued a notice to creditors, announcing plans to set up a new company to take over all its debts. Delio intends to sell its existing entities, including a virtual asset service provider (VASP), and use the proceeds from the sale to resolve its financial obligations.
Currently, Delio is facing trial on charges of allegedly stealing about 250 billion won (about $180 million) in cryptocurrencies and suddenly stopping cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals without prior notice. Industry experts have expressed doubts about the feasibility of Delio's strategy, suggesting that the plan may be intended to obtain a lighter sentence in the ongoing trial.
