In South Korea, a large-scale scheme supplying bank accounts for illegal online casinos was uncovered: 200 people arrested
🔹According to Ulsan city police, members of the network provided 211 proxy bank accounts to organizations linked to phone scams, investment frauds, and illegal gambling.
🔹The investigation found that the scheme operated through a multi-level structure: one group recruited account holders, another handled payments and oversight, and a separate team collected and passed on banking details.
🔹Small business owners and homemakers were offered up to 1,5 million won (about $1 thousand) per month for access to their accounts, as well as bonuses for recruiting new participants.
🔹Over seven months, the organizers built a network of 55 intermediaries and 139 account holders. Data was passed to clients across the country via an intercity bus service.
🔹Police have already detained four suspected organizers. They are suspected of violating electronic financial transaction laws.
🔹Authorities also imposed provisional seizure on assets worth 470 million won (approximately $333 thousand), which the investigation says were obtained through criminal means.
