Dismissal Judgment in Lawsuit Involving Voice Phishing and Triangular Fraud in Cryptocurrency Investment

Dismissal Judgment

Case Overview

Client Information: Individual / Defendant

Case Details

The client was a foreigner selling USDT (Tether) in a P2P transaction. Unbeknownst to them, they were identified as an accomplice in a voice phishing crime.

The situation was further complicated by the fact that other co-defendants were also foreigners of the same nationality, increasing suspicion against the client. However, the client had no acquaintance with these other defendants. They had simply sold cryptocurrency to buyers who requested it.

Ultimately, the client became a defendant in a lawsuit for damages due to unlawful acts and a claim for restitution of unjust enrichment, prompting them to urgently seek assistance from Decent Law Firm.

Decent's Strategy

The client had transferred the USDT (Tether) equivalent to the received KRW to a cryptocurrency wallet designated by the scammer. If treated as an accomplice, the client would have been placed in a very unfair position.

Decent Law Firm demonstrated that the client was not an accomplice and, therefore, not an unlawful actor. We proceeded with the claim for restitution of unjust enrichment, actively asserting that the client did not derive any substantial benefit from the actions in question.

Additionally, we presented objective evidence to prove that the client had no intention of deceiving the victim or causing harm.
