According to Digitalasset, South Korean police have conducted a second raid on Bithumb, the country's second-largest crypto exchange, over allegations of hiring fraud involving the son of independent lawmaker Kim Byung-ki. On the morning of June 8, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Public Crime Investigation Unit dispatched officers to execute a search warrant at Bithumb's headquarters in Gangnam, Seoul. Kim Byung-ki is accused of lobbying Bithumb to hire his son and repeatedly raising inquiries targeting competitor Dunamu (the operator of Upbit, South Korea's largest crypto exchange) during the process. Police had previously raided Bithumb's headquarters in February and summoned two Bithumb executives as persons of interest for questioning in February and April. https://(wublock123.com)/news/south-korea-police-raid-bithumb-headquarters-lawmaker-children-hiring-scandal-62386
