[Fraud] Defended with Not Referred to Prosecution at the Police Stage

As soon as LEAP took on this case, we established a strategy for how to respond through an in-depth analysis of the entire factual background.

LEAP argued that the client had intended to make the business succeed but ultimately failed, and that this did not amount to investment fraud, and by clarifying how the client used the investment funds, sought to exclude the entire fraud allegation against the client from this case.

As soon as we at LEAP took on the case, we began with a microscopic analysis of the entire case based on LEAP's own know-how.

First, we clarified how the investment funds were used, and looked for elements that could refute the fraud allegation itself by emphasizing that, although not affluent, the client had both the intention and the ability to repay at the time the investment funds were raised.

Next, we focused on the fact that the business failure was not solely the client's fault, but that the investors who had originally agreed to invest kept delaying their investment due to COVID-19, which hindered the smooth progress of the business.

Finally, through LEAP's own data analysis system, we selected materials proving the use of the investment funds from among the client's numerous account transfer records and KakaoTalk conversations, enabling the client to be cleared of the fraud allegation.
