Read more (2 min) →South Korean crypto exchanges Upbit and Bithumb have seen revenues plummet this year amid a wider downturn for crypto firms in the country.
South Korean police have booked Bithumb CEO Lee Jae-won after he allegedly gave a politician's son a job in return for legislative favors.
Bithumb apologised for sending up to 2,000 BTC to users which led to a 10% crash on the South Korean exchange.
Bithumb took action after SK Telecom was attacked with a malware infection that allowed hackers to access sensitive customer information.
The raid follows an investigation into a former Bithumb CEO who allegedly misused $2 million of company money to purchase an apartment.
Cryptocurrency exchanges Upbit and Bithumb were raided on Monday as part of an investigation into a politician who held $4.5M wemix coins.
According to a former Bithumb executive, the exchange has been aggressively listing shady kimchi coins "for a while."
The fraud trial of former Bithumb exec Lee Jung-hoon has come to an end, with prosecutors requesting an eight year sentence on Tuesday.
