South Korea's Top 3 Fraudsters

Cho Hee-pal (Yeongcheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do)
Fraud Amount: 4 trillion KRW

Ju Su-do (Ulsan, Gyeongsangnam-do)
Fraud Amount: 2.5 trillion KRW

Park Young-bok (Gunwi, Gyeongbuk)
Fraud Amount: 7.4 billion KRW
Many might argue why 7.4 billion KRW qualifies him as one of the top three, but this was Korea's first and largest financial fraud case occurring in the 1970s.
Considering a pack of cigarettes cost only 10 won in the 70s, even with a rough adjustment for inflation, the amount scales up to hundreds of billions or even trillions of won.
It was a case that was featured prominently in newspapers at a time when the nation was pushing hard for an export drive, causing great disappointment and shock to the public.
After serving over 20 years in prison, he was released, only to carry out another 100 billion won fraud scheme before being caught and dying in prison.

The interesting thing is that he only had an elementary or middle school education.
And that he was a god of lobbying.
When it comes to the kids of Ssang-do, their lobbying skills are still the best in all of Paldo.
