  "textContent": "Bang Sihyuk was investigated last year on charges of violating the Capital Markets Act involving 400 billion won (~275M USD)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\"Stock speculation = ruin oneself and his family\n\nWill Chairman Bang Sihyuk be the first?\"\n\n\n\n\nMany predicted that stock manipulation would become the current administration's top target, as it is said to lead to ruin.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\"National Tax Service also raids HYBE. Investigation Division 4 targets Bang Sihyuk.\n\n\n\n\nThe National Tax Service also launched a tax investigation against HYBE on the 29th.\n\n\n\n\nThe NTS dispatched personnel to HYBE's Seoul headquarters that day to secure documents and other materials. The investigation is being led by the Seoul Regional Tax Office's Investigation Division 4, known in the business world as the grim reaper for probes into owner misconduct, leading to speculation it is targeting Chairman Bang Sihyuk.\"\n\n\n\n\nThe so-called corporate grim reaper, Investigation Division 4, was also deployed.\n\n\n\n\nThis was last July.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\"'Alleged 190 billion won (~131M USD) in unlawful gains' Bang Sihyuk banned from leaving the country\n\n\n\n\nBang Sihyuk denies allegations of being banned from leaving Korea, yet ‘travel ban’ remains\"\n\n\n\n\nAfter that, Bang Sihyuk was also banned from leaving the country..\n\n(And the amount shrinking to 190 billion won is freaking hilarious)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\"Chairman Bang Sihyuk, looking noticeably thinner, attends APEC alongside RM... His appearance is unrecognizably different\"\n\n\n\n\nDespite facing charges of stock manipulation and even being banned from leaving the country,\n\nhe still attended the APEC CEO Summit looking gaunt (as per the article's wording) ㅋㅋㅋㅋ\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\"'Illegal trading allegations' against HYBE's Bang Sihyuk: investigation delayed again? Prosecutor in charge transferred...\"There's a tendency, but...”\n\n\n\n\nAs the investigation into HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk, accused of illegal trading, drags on, attention is focused on the personnel transfer of the prosecutor in charge. With the prosecutor overseeing the investigation now transferred, the conclusion on the allegations against HYBE Chairman Bang Sihyuk is expected to be further delayed.\"\n\n\n\n\nAnd this is the latest article on the investigation ㅋㅋㅋㅋ\n\nThe prosecutor handling the Bang Sihyuk case got transferred\n\nSo the conclusion on the charges will be delayed ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.....\n\n\n\n\nConclusion: Don't hold your breath for any punishment ㅋㅋ\n\n\n\n\nI'm genuinely curious\n\nWhat the hell is Bang Sihhyuk (HYBE) that the media is hushing this up so much and progress is this slow???\n\n\n\n\nHonestly, I see more news about Bang Sihyuk's Wegovy than news about the Bang Sihyuk investigation.\n\n\n\n\noriginal post: here\n\n\n\n\n1. What is Lee Jaemyung doing?\n\n\n\n\n2. And we also barely have any articles about him\n\n\n\n\n3. Can they send him straight to jail like Kakao?\n\n\n\n\n4. What is the government doing???????\n\n\n\n\n5. They said stock manipulation ruins everything??? Then why make exceptions??\n\n\n\n\n6. They are probably all involved ^^\n\n\n\n\n7. Lee Jaemyung is truly a fraud. He said stock manipulation leads to ruin\n\n\n\n\n8. He will never get punished. If it was the case, then YG would've already been ruined\n\n\n\n\n9. Burning Sun only caught a few celebrities, but none of the politicians actually involved got caught, right? Both ruling and opposition parties have connections, so I don't expect much this time either. Anyway, HYBE fans will shield them all, and the media has them in their pocket. Sweet deal\n\n\n\n\n10. And they are only going after Min and NewJeansㅠ NewJeans who were doing so wellㅠ\n\n\n\n\n11. This is so scary\n\n\n\n\n12. Even a stock manipulator gets to live just fine\n\n\n\n\n13. He said that stock manipulation will lead you to ruin. What a load of bullsh*t. They're throwing all our resources behind their own artists' performances right? They're all talk\n\n\n\n\n14. I already expected this~\n\n\n\n\nNew post\n\nNext Post\n\n\n\n\n**✉  PC Stories**",
