#14.5 billion won in cash and 50,000 won are more than 290,000 copies. Assuming you put this money in a box of 20kg apples that is easy to carry, one box can contain up to 1 billion won each in a bundle of 50 million won. A total of 14 to 15 apple boxes are needed, and only weighs about 300 kg.
There are growing suspicions related to the theft of Jeju Shinhwa World Landing Casino 14.560 billion won (about US$ 13.32 million). On the 7th, the Jeju Provincial Police Agency announced that it was charged with embezzlement of Mr. A in his 50s, a safe manager, and that it is investigating whether there is an accomplice.
The police are paying attention to the possibility of an accomplice inside. Due to the nature of the casino business, it is difficult for a woman in her 50s to take 14.5 billion won in cash to the outside without breaking through tight security. Hundreds of CC (closed circuit) TVs are installed in the casino, and the surveillance by security staff is tight.
According to an official, the safe where money is stored is not a home safe, but a large safe used by financial institutions. It is not a structure that can be easily opened by only a password or key. The police are restoring old CCTV images that are regularly deleted and analyzing the secured images.
Mr. A has been disconnected after taking a vacation around the end of December last year. The police are planning to request a red wanted from Interpol, taking into account the possibility that Mr. A has departed abroad. According to the industry, Mr. A is a Malaysian nationality woman in her 50s and an executive-level employee of Hong Kong Landing International, the headquarters of Hong Kong. It is said that he has worked since the beginning of the landing casino.
Meanwhile, Ramjeong Entertainment Korea, which operates a landing casino, confirmed that 14.5 billion won of funds to be kept in a safe had disappeared during its own audit on the evening of the 4th and requested an investigation by the police.
