[Press][Asia Business Daily] Fake luxury purchase records used to gain VIP status lead to crime — Interview with Jinheon Law Firm’s Shin Min-young.

A so-called “performance trading” case was uncovered in which luxury purchase records worth 5 million KRW were traded for 250,000 KRW to obtain department store VIP status. This act, intended to gain improper benefits through false purchase records, may constitute the crime of obstruction of business.

"If the department store’s terms and conditions prohibit fraudulent point accumulation and such conduct is deemed to have interfered with business operations, the crime of obstruction of business may be established," he stated.
