In August last year, 'A' sold his online game account worth 290 million KRW (approx. $210k) for 205 million KRW. In March this year, he logged back into the account and changed the password.

Prosecutors charged A under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes, viewing his actions—selling a 290M KRW account and then reclaiming it—as pocketing over 500 million KRW in illicit gains.
