Key Points:
WeMade, a listed game company, is at the center of the probe. The companies implicated in the large-scale liquidation of WEMIX have not been officially disclosed.
The Prosecutor’s Office is looking into accusations that WeMade sold substantial amounts of WEMIX through these companies, potentially without proper user disclosure.
This follows a previous search and seizure operation involving WeMade and its CEO Jang Hyun-Duk, on June 30, indicating a significant escalation in the investigation.
The companies under scrutiny are Company A, affiliated with Algorith Capital, a virtual asset management firm with an office in Seoul’s Gangnam-daero, and another virtual asset investment company in Jung-gu, Seoul.
Notably, Algorith Capital’s Korean corporation is not a government-registered virtual asset manager.
WeMade’s alleged large-scale liquidation of WEMIX between November 2020 and January 2022 without informing users and subsequent use of funds for mergers and acquisitions raised concerns. The controversy underscored the necessity of effective virtual asset regulation.
According to the previous report, South Korean authorities have initiated a full mandatory investigation into the market maker of WeMade.
The search and seizure were carried out in response to a complaint filed with prosecutors on May 12 by WEMIX investors, who accused the firm of fraud, embezzlement, and breach of trust.
The investigation’s scope broadened due to a complaint by WEMIX investors, accusing WeMade of fraud, embezzlement, and breach of trust. The case highlights the ongoing challenges associated with ensuring transparency and accountability in the virtual asset sector.
