According to the report from donga.com, RMT have just been busted while trying to transfer 38 million USD in laundered money from Korea to China. The foreign affairs bureau of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency stated:
We arrested two individuals, including the ring leader who is a 37-year-old man named 'Jeong.' Jeong's ring purchased game money in China between May last year and last month, then cashed the money through domestic game item brokerages.
Charges were also filed against 11 Koreans who allowed the scheme to use their bank accounts for money laundering.
Jeong and his ring reportedly sold the game money illegally produced in China using cheap labor and virus programs. They are believed to have taken a commission of three to five percent of the money traded to purchase game money.
