(1)The appellate court said, “The failure to return the deposit while managing the proceeds of crime was a result of Mr. A’s investment failure, so the responsibility is great,” and added, “The defendant made an effort to recover the damage by providing a deposit of 1 million won to each of the 30 victims. Considering that 1 billion won of the damage is expected to be recovered through the villa auction, the centrifugal sentence is too heavy.
(2)“Jang has a point,” he said, explaining the reason for the sentencing.
