That's the problem right there trying to translate Hangul and some Korean into English is very difficult to do.  It actually reads like a changga poem, quite sublime  :) .

A summary with my relatively lacking korean skills:

He's turned himself in last Thursday and is currently under investigation waiting on a court date for a hearing/judging.

He's even tried to off himself after wandering aimlessly and being homeless.

He's writing the post with pure intent, and his old mother's words gave him the courage to turn himself in.

She's bedridden and handicapped due to old age and heart/hip surgeries. He went to visit for what he thought would be the last time, and she told him that he should never cause harm to others, even if that means living your entire life below your means/poorly, and that he should pay for his wrongdoing (in a karmic sense as well).

He's determined to pay back the compensation for damages, even if he has to do it little by little. He promises to deposit all of it to the Medal Keylab rep/head (?). He's extremely motivated by what his mother said to him.

Then he apologizes to all that he's caused anguish to, his guiltless friends, peers (older and younger), and especially to the victims.

Once he pays back his dues, he's going to work really hard not to let this happen again. He'll be updating his status often to insure that.



He apologizes a bunch more than what I wrote, but that's the gist.

Jesus christ. How do you scam people out of $100,000 and then wind up homeless less than 2 years later. What the **** did he do with the money?

Since this was in first-person view I changed some words to make it in third-person. Replace "he/him" into "I" if something is confusing. Everything else is translated word by word.


"Sorry.
Jackass(Han-Jung-Il) last Thursday turned himself into the police in Yang-Cheon police station, confession note has been handed in and is currently awaiting trial.

Every step he took he was hesitant(confused), sleeping in the streets with no motive in life, even trying to end his life.

The reason for this is to pay his honest dues while getting courage from his mother's last words so he decided to turn himself in.

Currently, his mother (born in 1942) is disabled, she went through heart surgery and hip surgery disabling her to even use the bathroom, only lying in bed.

Visiting his parents with the thought to see them for the last time, she said in bed:
"Even if you cant wear anything or eat anything dont harm others, go pay your dues"

Without any further excuse, he acknowledges his fraudulent act to those who trusted him.

He will go to court to pay his dues and once he comes back out to face society, maybe not all at once, he promise he will compensate the scammed amount little by little.

After he pays his dues, though it wont be easy, he will certainly follow his mothers wishes along with his will to repay a KBDlab representative every month.

To all those who had a rough time and those with no guilt close around him, Teamredline members, older/younger brothers (its a korean thing to address friends of different age), and most of all those who fell victim, he is very sorry.

There isnt much to say, he is really sorry. Even if he has stones thrown to his death he has nothing to say.

Once he repays his dues he will continue to publicly announce his current situation and live a diligent life making sure nothing like this happens again.

Truly sorry."

No and there is no reply other than some minor talk on the live chat section. If there is any proof it will show up one way or another. Jackass is friends with some KBDlab members IRL, so hopefully some will get in touch with him and say/show something.

"well, i scammed a bunch of nerds out of 100k"
"how?"
"well i set up group buys for keycaps"

and at that point he realizes he is in there over a keyboard hobby.

Who knows if it is true. I would rather see all criminal charges dropped and have his wages garnished instead. That will accelerate the repayment and will still be a serious punishment.

Three observations

1) people keep getting crazy over things they should not. Throwing money like that around so easily will create motive / bad thoughts.

2) One quarter of our membership is Korean, many are Korean American. Am surprised that no one has come forward to do a good translation. Bowji's sounds so stilted. I know I wouldn't be able to stand it if I saw such a bad Chinese translation.

3) Maybe he took the money for his bedridden mother. That's how the money was blown so quickly. It doesn't make his actions less illegal but it does give him extenuating circumstances. I hope the judge will give him the minimum penalty for conducting an online scam (or whatever charge is applicable under Korean law). Or even better, a suspended sentence or probation so that he can get a job and repay instead of rotting in prison. Oh, and he should also be declared a bankrupt so that he cannot get a passport, cannot own property, and has to adhere to a steady monthly payment schedule with his creditors. That way if he ever reneged on payments, he would be financially paralyzed still.

A lot are questioning the legitimacy... if he does pays his dues, I can only imagine what kind of job/lifestyle hes going to face after that. Hes gonna need more than just time. Plus, he said he would be paying back a representative of the Korean community, so who knows how long it will take to reimburse all the members there and then come around to GH.

If DrugER was extremely vicious upon his own countrymen by stealing from them, then under normal Korean law he has to first offer compensation but he ripped off many overseas people and they won't see a cent returned simply because Korean Law doesn't cover nor protect any foreign purchasers.

Who knows if he indeed intends to ever pay back any money at all to the ones he shystered money off, since fraud is viewed differently in Korea compared to here.  Most likely you will have to pursue him in the 'private' courts to see if anything can be done but usually the cost to you as the victim is far higher than it is for him.  White-collar crime is viewed very lightly compared to other notorious felonies of murder and/or kidnapping.

As someone has previously stated, if he is indeed in public prison, there are attainable records a fellow Korean could provide for the community.

I lost a couple of hundred dollars directly in his groupbuy and over $1200 in costs in the secondary group buy that I tried to run, to supply keycaps that he did not want to include in his groupbuy.
