26,000 followers in the stock ‘injumma’… Take 16.1 billion won in investment
3.3 million won for stock lectures… He doesn’t even reflect on his denial of the first and second trials
Housewife influencer Lee Seul-bi, who was called a stock short-term goddess by showing off her wealth by pretending to be a stock expert on social networking services SNS and posting high-end foreign cars and luxury photos, was sentenced to eight years in prison for fraud worth 16 billion won
Supreme Court Justice Chun Dae-yeop said on the 28th that he has confirmed the lower court, which sentenced Lee Seul-bi, 37, to eight years in prison and 3.16 billion won in fines, in an appeal against a woman accused of fraud in violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes
Since around March 2015, Lee has emerged as a star with 26,000 Instagram followers and has been well-liked for his good deeds such as protective clothing and mask donations when COVID-19 began
In fact, he lost 4.2 billion won in stocks and futures, so he couldn’t pay the interest on credit cards, apartment management, and bank loans, but he continued to post photos on his Instagram that he edited securities accounts, profits, and settlements to manipulated profits of millions to tens of millions of won a day
Lee is accused of causing more than 500 million won in damage to each of the victims by receiving 11.08 billion won from seven victims by tricking them into paying 7-10 monthly profits and returning the principal whenever they want after seeing photos of profit certification posted on Instagram from April 2017 to July 2021
Lee is also accused of receiving a total of 4.27 billion won from 37 victims in the same way and taking a total of 500 million won in tuition from 154 victims who wanted to take stock lectures by deceiving them as if they had the intention and ability to teach them how to earn stock trading profits
The first trial sentenced him to eight years in prison, denying the crime and showing no serious remorse for his wrongdoings, even though he made an appearance that made a lot of profits from stock investment for many years
In addition, Lee was sentenced to eight months in prison for taking 600 million won in investment from two people from December 2020 to April last year, saying he would settle 50 of his investment as profits in three months
The second trial, which merged the two cases, found Lee guilty of both charges and sentenced him to eight years in prison and ordered him to pay 3.1 billion won in fines, citing the prosecutor’s request for additional charges that the first trial did not accept
The second trial court judged that some victims were partly responsible for the damage or expansion of their investment, saying that the crime was not only bold and bad, but also that some of them had paid money in the name of unrealistic profits The Supreme Court also believed that the second trial’s judgment was right
It’s been 8 years for 16 billion won. Wow, that lady is so fast
