[서울=뉴시스]Reporter Jeon Jae-hoon = The prosecution, which is investigating the ‘suspicion of 6 billion coins’ by independent lawmaker Kim Nam-guk, launched a search and seizure of ‘Ozis’, a company that provides virtual currency (virtual asset) deposit and exchange services.
According to the prosecution on the 22nd, Seoul Southern District Prosecutor’s Office 6th Detective Division (Chief Prosecutor Lee Jun-dong) sent an investigator to Ojis located in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the morning of the same day to secure the details of Congressman Kim’s transactions.
Ozzy is a company that operates ‘Clay Swap’, a virtual asset deposit service. Rep. Kim is suspected of receiving a number of virtual assets free of charge (airdrop) through the ‘Drops’ function of Claeswap.
Representative Kim is known to have traded several Jobcoins through this clay swap service. The prosecution, which was analyzing the details of Congressman Kim’s virtual asset transactions secured through the previous seizure and search, seems to have started a compulsory investigation into Ozzys to track the source of the investment money and check whether money was laundered.
On the 13th, Rep. Kim explained, “Airdrop is through a virtual asset deposit service called ClaySwap,” and “If you look at virtual asset transactions, everything goes in and out transparently.” It is a service that anyone can use, and there is no preferential treatment.
The prosecution is analyzing the account information data of Rep. Kim obtained from the search and seizure of blockchain affiliates of Bithumb, Upbit and Kakao on the 15th and 16th.
It is known that the prosecution is also analyzing the virtual asset transaction history of Congressman Kim and the cash account linked to the virtual asset wallet. Through this, it is expected to look into whether Congressman Kim received the coin for free and what the source of virtual asset investment funds such as Wemix is.
In the meantime, Rep. Kim said, “There is no money that has fallen from the sky,” saying that the proceeds from the sale of LG Display stocks were all about the virtual asset investment suspicion.
