South Korea prosecutors dey demand 20-year jail term for Delio CEO after Delio suddenly stop customers withdraws for June 2023. For closing arguments for Seoul Southern District Court, prosecutors talk say Delio CEO allegedly violate law wey punish specific economic crimes.
Prosecutors dey allege say Delio CEO embezzle about 250 billion won (around $168.8 million) in crypto assets from about 2,800 victims between August 2021 and June 2023. Dem talk say dem do deceptive promotion, stop withdrawals, and no take responsibility or cooperate. Defence talk say victims go get compensation if Delio CEO clear.
The case still connect to the FTX collapse. Prosecutors and report link liquidity shock to Haru Invest reported loss of 350 billion won tied to FTX bankruptcy, dem argue say this one quicken Delio withdrawal halt. Delio CEO get indicted in April 2025, after authorities pursue wider legal process following June 2023 withdrawal-suspension scandal.
First-instance ruling dey expected on July 16.

Bearish
Dis na one negative headline for FTT because e dey reinforce broader “custodial/investment-style” crypto risk narrative wey join major failures like FTX. Dem dey ask for 20-year sentence plus tori of embezzlement and say dem freeze withdrawals June 2023 fit scatter investor fear, make people go to risk-off positions, and make regulators dey more watchful. For short term, the July 16 first-instance ruling date give traders catalyst window, and that kind thing often cause wider spreads and momentum swings instead of proper recovery. For long term, if court verdict harsh (or if appeals dey make uncertainty long), confidence for related exchange/platform tokens fit remain weak.
Technically, the article talk say FTT conditions dey mixed-to-weak (RSI near neutral and downtrend), so any negative sentiment from legal developments fit more easily push price action down, especially near overhead resistance round $0.3074.
