The prosecution argued that the damage suffered by ordinary investors due to Kim's crime has not yet been recovered, and that the six-year prison sentence sentenced in the first trial is too light.
Kim is accused of raising 9.6 billion won in slush funds by selling the virtual currency "Arowana Token" through a consulting firm from December 2021 to June of the following year to receive Ethereum and Bitcoin.
It was investigated that Kim used the slush funds he created for personal purposes.
In July, the first trial sentenced Kim to six years in prison, claiming that he reimbursed about 5.1 billion won and that the victim company issued a non-application for punishment.
