[South Korean Actress Hwang Jung-eum Misappropriates $3 Million from Company to Invest in Cryptocurrency, Sentenced to Probation] BlockBeats news, September 26, according to Decrypt, South Korean actress Hwang Jung-eum misappropriated $3 million (4.34 billion KRW) from her personal agency to invest in cryptocurrency and was sentenced to two years of probation by the Jeju District Court on Thursday. This means that as long as she does not commit another crime within the next four years, she will not have to serve prison time. Prosecutors had previously requested a three-year prison sentence in August, but the judge took into account that she had fully repaid the funds, as well as her status as a first-time offender who had made full restitution, ultimately granting probation.
