## Resource

South Korean police raid Bithumb amid sweeping probe into lawmaker Kim Byung-gi, accused of abusing power to help his son land jobs at crypto firms — including Bithumb and Dunamu — sparking outrage over political favoritism, regulatory overreach, and murky ties between politicians and finance. Investigators dig deeper into committee hearings, alleged bribery, and university transfers, while Bithumb, already under fire for past compliance failures, faces renewed scrutiny. Public outrage simmers as the nation watches whether power truly corrupts — and whether justice will follow. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
