According to BlockBeats, Lee, CEO of Haru Invest, who was suspected of embezzling $826 million in assets, was attacked by the victim with a knife while appearing in court in Seoul. He was stabbed several times in the neck and was rushed to the hospital but is not in danger of death.

Lee, who was detained and indicted for fraud in February this year, was attacked by the 51-year-old victim, Kang, during his 8th appearance at the Seoul Southern District Court on August 28. Kang hid a dagger in his clothes, suddenly rushed at Lee and stabbed him in the neck several times.

Haru Invest suddenly suspended deposits and withdrawals in June last year, causing panic among customers. Prosecutors accused Li and three others of stealing cryptocurrencies from 16,000 users and falsely advertising risk-free investment technology.
