The recent "aquatic gangster door incident" that has been raging in South Korea finally involved the entertainment industry...
I believe that the friends who pay attention to the news of Current Affairs in South Korea have recently heard about the incident.
From 2018 to 2021, Kim Tae-woo (43), a 43-year-old native of Pu-eup, Kowloon, Pohang, falsely claimed to be an aquatic tycoon and defrauded tens of billions of won in the name of doing a squid business in Pohang.
In the process, he claimed to have become acquainted with various politicians to gain the trust of his victims. Now that Kim Tae-woo's crimes have been fully exposed, what he calls a relationship with politicians who don't know whether they are true or false has sparked controversy. Due to the sheer scale of its crime, the incident became known as the "Aquatic Gangster Gate Incident".
In the past, Kim Tae-woo was only a small part-time job at a law firm, when he pretended to be the chief clerk to forge applications and contracts to defraud 160 million won.
Kim Tae-woo was arrested for seven years on the run for the fraud, and was sentenced to two years in prison in 2016, but was released on December 30, 2017, when he was selected as a pardonist.
While serving his sentence in prison, Kim Tae-woo met Song Sung-ho, a former journalist who was also being held there, and after the two met Kim Tae-woo became more daring, starting the scam again within 6 months of his release.
He falsely claimed to have inherited a 100 billion won inheritance and that the tycoon who owned dozens of fishing boats, villas, and imported luxury cars in Pohang had defrauded 11.6 billion won from seven victims from June 2018 to January 2021 in the name of carrying out a squid business.
Kim Tae-woo also falsely claimed that he ran a shipyard in Pohang, was the operator of an aquatic products processing enterprise, and held positions in various social groups.
The reason why Kim Tae-woo is so bold is because he got to know Song Sung-ho. When Song Chenghao was a journalist, he established friendships with authoritative figures from various circles such as politics and was active in political circles. In 2016, he tried to run for the 20th parliamentary election as a candidate for the Kincheon City Diet, but was indicted and detained for violating the Election Act for Public Office.
Song Sung-ho built a bridge for Kim Tae-woo to meet with these political authorities. Politicians who have met Kim Tae-woo said: "Kim seems to know a lot of people in various fields" and "He is the kind of person who will send messages to attendees after the party and spend money everywhere to invite guests."
Song Sung-ho also became involved in Kim Tae-woo's squid business fraud, from which he probably earned 1.75 billion won.
In April, Kim Tae-woo was detained by police on suspicion of defrauding 11.6 billion won.
After being detained, Kim Tae-woo reported to the police that he had provided monetary and sexual bribes to the current ministerial prosecutor, the chief police officer, and former and current media personalities. He even claimed to have a friendship with President Moon Jae-in and had received gifts from the Blue House.
At present, the relevant statements have become a weapon for parties to attack each other, and the truth or falsity is unknown.
Recently, Kim Yong-ho reporter from South Korea's YouTube "Horizontal Seven Vertical Eight Research Institute" channel also broke the news on the matter live: "Kim Tae-woo, the main criminal of the aquatic product gangster gate incident, once sexually entertained well-known people in the Pohang pool villa, including members of the famous girl group. ”
"This matter was matched by A, a famous agent from Puyi, Kowloon, Pohang, and Xia was introduced by A to serve as a publicity ambassador for Jin's career activities, but Xia did not go to the pool villa."
"There was another member of the girl group who went to the pool villa, and she also took a selfie there, and the uncles next to her were drinking, and only she was taking a selfie."
Jin Longhao reporter said: "Now you can't disclose the real names of the members of the girl group, because if you do, it will not be the degree of dissolution of the group, but the door of hell opened." ”
Because it is a live broadcast, so there have been viewers who have left messages asking for the real names of the members of the women's group, to which Jin Longhao reporter responded: "It is not that it will not be made public, but it is not public now, if it is made public now, the essence of the aquatic gangster incident will be blurred, and everyone's attention will be transferred to the artist." ”
"A lot of things have happened to that girl group recently, as long as it is public, everyone will know, and the police already know."
In addition, Jin Longhao reporter also said that singer Sun Tanfei was once Kim Tae-woo's girlfriend and did not participate in sexual reception, which is equivalent to being a victim who was deceived.
Oh my God, this melon is too big, I don't dare to eat it...
