Optimus Fund Fraud Scheme Victim Protest/South Korean Regime Interlocked(Alleged)

“It’s seventy-six years old, and it’s hard because I’m shaking in the cold every day. Still, wouldn't there be another victim like me if I just passed over?” Yoo Hye-kyung, 75, who met in front of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in Seocho-gu, Seoul on the 30th, is holding a one-person protest on the 191st day. She is a victim of the Optimus private equity case that made the world noisy this year. The protests, which began in early summer, when the victims were not aware of the damage, continued from autumn to winter. In addition to the prosecutors' office, which is investigating the Optimus case, they are running a marathon demonstration at the headquarters of NH Investment & Securities, the Financial Supervisory Service, the National Assembly, and the Blue House. Yoo said, "I am going to work in front of the prosecutors' office because I think the problem of compensation for the victims will be solved only when the prosecution conducts an investigation properly and covers the wrongs well and those who are responsible are punished. The scenes that Yoo, who had lived for more than 70 years, regardless of power institutions such as the Blue House or the courts, were bitter while protesting. He said, "I have been standing alone here and there for a long time, so I met several protesters complaining of resentment," he said. Yoo has put 500 million won of her husband's legacy, who left last year, into the Optimus Fund, and is not getting it back. It's the money I've earned from working my entire life, living a frugal life, not a single luxury. Using the money left by her husband as a living expense, he tried to spend his old days working as an amateur photographer, but he became a “fighter” as he became entangled in a fund fraud case. More than half of the victims of the Optimus Fund are senior citizens who, like Mr. Yoo, donated retirement funds. Victims who could not participate in the protests because of their physical discomfort because of their livelihoods, are sorry to Mr. Yoo and do not spare any encouragement through messengers. If you stand a little, your ankles are sore, but this is why you cannot stop the protests. Victims such as Yoo argue that Optimus asset management, the main culprit of fraud, as well as NH Investment & Securities, a seller, cannot be free from responsibility. This is because the elderly, who used to be customers of securities companies, believed and invested in the words of a private banker (PB), "a very safe product by investing in accounts receivable from public institutions." Yoo pointed out, "It's a pity that an ordinary old man like me has to hold a picket and use evil," he said. "Financial companies are becoming increasingly greedy and selfish." Yu said, "There must have been financial fraud in the past, but if the practice of getting the person in charge punished and the victim getting the right compensation was made, there would have been no victims like us." I think that I shouldn't stop here if I want to change the attitude of financial companies to avoid the crisis in moderation. Yoo said, "I will continue the one-man protest until a full compensation is decided.
