South Korean actress Hwang Jung-eum was sentenced to probation for embezzling approximately 3 million dollars from the company to invest in cryptocurrency

ChainCatcher news, South Korean actress Hwang Jung-eum was sentenced to two years of probation on Thursday by the Jeju District Court for embezzling $3 million (4.34 billion won) from her personal management company to invest in cryptocurrency. This means that as long as she does not commit any further crimes in the next four years, she will not have to serve time in prison. The prosecution had previously requested a three-year prison sentence, but the judge considered that she had fully repaid the amount, and taking into account her status as a first-time offender who has fully compensated, ultimately granted probation.
