According to News 1, the 8th Division of the Seoul High Court (chief judge Bae Hyung-won, Lee Eui-young, Bae Sang-won) broke the sentence of The Judgment for three years and six months in prison for A, who was indicted on charges of forgery of securities and forgery of documents the previous day, and arrested The Judgment and the court for two years. The Judgment fine of 10 million won in the first trial was not handled by Mr. A because he did not appeal the allegations.
The court ruled that "the crime is not good because it forged the liquor supply contract of the victim company and deceived the loan list to Heo Kyung-hwan and cheated the money." "I can not avoid prison because I did not recover."
Mr. A appealed to the court to The Judgment to "give me time only to my mother's surgery," but the court did not accept it.
Mr. A was indicted on charges of embezzling 2,736.2 million won from February 2011 to April 2014, when he was an auditor of "Huh Chicken", using Heo Kyung-hwan's seal stamp and Heo Chicken's corporate bankbook. In March 2012, A was accused of using Heo Kyung-hwan as a "company that was operating separately and was unable to pay taxes" and using it as an apartment sale price, entertainment expenses, and debt repayment.
Heo Kyung-hwan has grown 'Huh Chicken' into a company that generates about 70 billion won in sales in 2021 without being subjected to embezzlement damage. Heo Kyung-hwan is currently selling the company to Presige and serving as an executive.
