Exclusive: Victims of ‘Huestem Korea’ Fraud Case Speak Out Against Lawyer Lee Jong-geun and Park Eun-jung

On the 29th, the victims of the ‘Huestem Korea’ multi-level fraud case, in which lawyer Lee Jong-geun (29th class), the husband of former Gwangju District Prosecutors’ Office chief prosecutor Park Eun-jeong (28th class of the Judicial Research and Training Institute), the first candidate for proportional representation of the Korea Reform Party, received 2.2 billion won in fees, said on the 29th, “Multi-level fraud.” He responded, “It’s absurd that a former prosecutor specializing in case investigation took charge of the defense.”

Previously, the prosecution indicted 10 people, including the company’s corporation and CEO Lee, on charges that Hustem Korea received more than 1.19 trillion won in subscription fees from about 100,000 investors last January (violation of the Door-to-door Sales Act). Prosecutors believe that Hustem Korea recruited investors using a multi-level similar organization disguised as a farming cooperative corporation. Hustem Korea’s charges of fraud and similar receipt are being investigated by the police.

On this day, this paper spoke with Mr. A, who runs an open chat room where about 1,000 victims of the Hustem incident gathered. Mr. A said in a phone call, “Victims went to Hustem Korea’s headquarters and branches in the hope of getting their money back somehow, and only after doing so did CEO Lee promise to compensate only 10% of the investment,” adding, “Our damage is 10%. He said, “It’s amazing that they said they could only compensate me, but then gave me 2.2 billion won and entrusted my defense to a former prosecutor specializing in multi-level cases.” Mr. A said, “Among the victims, there are those who invested up to 2.3 billion won but did not get a single penny, and there are also cases where people who retired from working as public officials invested their entire retirement pension and lost it,” adding, “There are victims who retired, so their children will not receive compensation. “We are looking into every possible way to see if there is a way,” he said.

It is known that the victims of the Huestem incident have not yet received compensation from Huestem. In addition, the police are investigating Huestem’s fraud case, and during this investigation, it is said that it has been confirmed that 2.2 billion won was transferred to lawyer Lee Jong-geun. One legal expert said, “This lawyer’s fee is derived from the money the victims were deceived into paying by Huestem.” Ms. A went directly to the Seocho Police Station investigating this case last January and registered her mother as a victim. She is waiting for the results of the investigation, but it is said that two months have passed and she has not yet been contacted by the police.

Victim B said of lawyer Lee Jong-geun, “He is a lawyer without the slightest conscience. Don’t you know that there are many victims?” Mr. C shared a video of this lawyer appearing on YouTube in the past and said, “The Grim Reaper, a professional fraudster, defends a fraudster? He also said, “Hey.” Attorney Lee was promoted to Chief Prosecutor under the Moon Jae-in administration and served as Chief of the Criminal Division of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office and Chief of the Seoul Western District Prosecutors’ Office before retiring in February of last year. During his tenure as a prosecutor, he also received a ‘black belt’ as a level 1 certified professional prosecutor for multi-level and similar cases. In addition, lawyer Lee appeared on a YouTube channel last year and said, “(During my time as a prosecutor), the stories of people who suffered (multi-level) damage, such as housewives and the elderly, were so sad that I tried to prevent such damage from happening to these people.” .

As it became known that lawyer Lee Jong-geun received a large amount of fees for defending suspects in multi-level marketing scandals, some are saying that the name of his law firm ‘Stairway’ was created by writing multi-level in reverse order.
