Mars Financial News, according to Decrypt citing Yonhap News, the latest investigation by the Board of Audit and Inspection (BAI) of South Korea revealed that a public official in Cheongju City embezzled 497 million Korean won (approximately 342,000 US dollars) of public funds for personal Crypto Assets investment and debt repayment.
