PANews February 24 Report, according to DL News, the South Korean prosecutors have charged a 39-year-old man with attempting to murder his business partner using highly toxic pesticides after a failed cryptocurrency investment of approximately $810,000. The two have been collaborating on a Bitcoin investment project and co-founded a company since 2022, but conflicts arose when the suspect allegedly used company funds without permission. Prosecutors state that the suspect planned to murder to gain exclusive control of the company, purchasing about $200 worth of banned pesticide methomyl from an online seller in October last year, and adding it to an iced latte at a Seoul café to give to the victim. After drinking it, the victim collapsed and fell into a coma, requiring a ventilator to stay alive, and regained consciousness three days later. The suspect has been charged with attempted murder and violation of the Pesticide Management Act. The case is scheduled for court on March 10.
