According to South Korea's *Chungcheong Daily News*, the Cheongju District Court in South Korea has ruled that a lawyer in his 40s, who was responsible for representing police officers in damage compensation lawsuits, was found guilty of embezzling 6 million won (approximately $4,000) in settlement money received on behalf of three police officers from the defendant. The lawyer used the funds for personal virtual currency investments and other purposes. He was convicted of occupational embezzlement and fined 10 million won (approximately $7,000). The court stated that the lawyer violated professional ethics and committed a serious offense, but considering his admission of guilt and lack of prior criminal record, the sentencing was determined accordingly. https://www.(wublock123.com)/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=6&id=55668
