BlockBeats News: On September 26, South Korean actor Hwang Jung-eun was sentenced to two years of probation at the Jeju District Court on Thursday for embezzling $3 million (4.34 billion won) from a personal agency to invest in cryptocurrencies, according to Decrypt. This means that she does not need to go to jail for the next four years as long as she does not commit any more crimes. The prosecution had previously requested a three-year prison sentence in August, but the judge finally granted a suspended sentence, taking into account that she had returned the money in full, as well as being a first-time offender and had been fully compensated.
