An employee of DB Securities was caught while impersonating the company to engage in so-called "gift certificate laundering."
According to the financial investment industry on the 26th, DB Securities recently detected employee A's misconduct based on an internal audit and reported it to the Financial Supervisory Service.
Employee A reportedly resold gift certificates issued by an online shopping mall to cash out and then invested in virtual currency. A DB Securities official noted, "It was determined that company funds were not embezzled, but that the employee engaged in gift certificate laundering under the company's name."
The FSS will verify any additional damages. However, it is not expected to begin an inspection as this matter does not affect DB Securities' financial soundness.
