[Emergency Announcement] Bithumb Bitcoin (BTC) Misdistribution Crisis: Law Firm LOGOS Launches "Task Force over Bithumb Mispayment Incident"

The unprecedented Bitcoin (BTC) misdistribution incident at Bithumb has caused significant confusion among investors and users. This incident goes beyond a simple technical glitch; it is a "60 Trillion Won Ghost Coin" crisis where non-existent assets were circulated—a digital asset equivalent of the 2018 Samsung Securities "Ghost Stock" incident.

To respond immediately to this crisis, LOGOS Law Firm LLC has launched the "Task Force over Bithumb Mispayment Incident (TF)," composed of top-tier experts across legal, technical, and investigative fields.

◈ The Essence of the Case: Why Do You Need Expert Help Now?

The current situation has evolved into a complex legal landscape involving large-scale civil litigation and potential criminal penalties.

- Victim Relief: For those who suffered forced liquidation due to sudden price distortion, or for whom the exchange’s makeshift "110% compensation plan" is insufficient to cover actual losses and opportunity costs.

- Crisis Defense: For users facing criminal investigation for selling misdistributed assets, or those facing unjust enrichment lawsuits filed by the exchange.

- Cross-Border Issues: For foreign investors and corporations who require assistance in navigating Korean law, dispute resolution procedures, and overcoming language barriers to protect their assets.

◈ LOGOS "Task Force over Bithumb Mispayment Incident" Lineup

LOGOS provides optimal solutions through the organic collaboration of four partner attorneys with expertise in law, technology, and investigative response.

Attorney	Background & Expertise	Role
Kim Hyung-Jun	Former Chief of the Financial and Securities Crime Joint Investigation Team at the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office	Criminal Defense: Predicting the logic of financial authorities and preemptively defending against charges such as violations of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes.
Lee Hyun-Jung	Former Head Prosecutor at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office (Important Economic Crime Investigation Unit 1)	On-site Risk Management: Precision defense during initial investigation stages, including search and seizure warrants.
Lee Seung-Hun	Former Presiding Judge; Expert in international virtual asset litigation; Former Coordinator of Court Affairs for UNCITRAL	Civil & Cross-Border Dispute Resolution: Judging liability from a judicial perspective and providing tailored dispute resolution for international investors.
Cho Won-Ik	Expert in virtual asset listing (trading support) and escrow advisory services	Technical & Systems Expertise: Proving structural defects in the exchange system and providing solutions for the preservation of disputed assets.

◈ LOGOS’ Differentiated Response Strategy

"While the nature of the case may seem familiar, the details of the response determine the victory."

1. "Full Compensation" Beyond the 110% Plan

The compensation plan offered by the exchange is merely a stopgap. LOGOS will conduct a rigorous analysis of violations of the Act on the Protection of Virtual Asset User and system defects to calculate actual damages, including special damages and opportunity costs.

2. Tailored Criminal Defense for "General Users"

Unlike the Samsung Securities incident, the actors in this case are general users, not employees of a financial institution. LOGOS employs a strategic defense to minimize criminal risk based on specific circumstances, such as the possibility of mistaking the distribution for an event prize.

3. Crucial Evidence Collection for Technical Causality

In collaboration with the Korea Digital Forensic Center (KDFC), a partner of Law Firm LOGOS, we analyze Bithumb's log data. We secure a dominant evidentiary position in court by proving the technical causality between the price distortion and the actual damages suffered.

4. "Global Hotline" for International Investors

We bridge the gap for foreign investors unfamiliar with Korean law and procedures through the seamless collaboration of Korean and foreign attorneys with extensive experience in international affairs.

Do not miss the "Golden Time." From the first step of the investigation to the final judgment in court, the experts at LOGOS will protect your legitimate rights and assets.
