Delio CEO Jeong Sang-ho got 15 years in prison. He defrauded users of $49.3 million.

South Korea convicted him for embezzlement and a false trading license. Delio froze withdrawals in June 2023, then declared bankruptcy in November 2024. The court found he lied to get his virtual asset license.

Our read: South Korea is sending a clear message. This isn't just about one CEO; it’s a precedent. Authorities are serious about exchange failures. Do Kwon also got 15 years. With the fear market at 29, users will notice.

Would you keep funds on a mid-tier exchange right now?
