1. The Client's Situation

The client held a consultation with a civil litigation attorney at the Gunsan branch office in order to respond to the lawsuit together with an attorney experienced in handling a variety of civil cases.
How the Client Came to Seek a Civil Attorney
The following is the account of the client, who held a close consultation with the Gunsan civil litigation attorney.
The client decided to invest in the food supply business operated by the S distribution company.
The plaintiffs, who were acquaintances of the client, also decided to take part in the investment.
The plaintiffs accordingly handed their investment funds to the client, and the client passed the investment funds on to the S distribution company.
A few months later, however, the client was sued by the plaintiffs for the return of the investment funds.
The reason was that the client had allegedly deceived them into believing that the client was directly carrying out the supply business and had obtained approximately 100 million won under the guise of investment funds.
The client had never entered into an investment contract with the plaintiffs and had committed no deception or failure to perform an investment contract, and so was placed in a difficult position.

2. Relevant Statutes Explained by the Gunsan Civil Attorney
A lawsuit for the return of investment funds is one in which an investor petitions the court to recover the money invested.
It is generally filed when a contract has not been properly performed, or when an unlawful reason such as fraud exists.
“As to whether the crime of fraud by obtaining investment funds is committed, even if at the time of the investment agreement the person receiving the investment uses the funds received from the investor for the investment business explained to the investor, where that person, having no intention or ability to return the principal within a certain period, nonetheless lies as though the principal will be returned to the investor within a certain period, this constitutes a deceptive act as a requirement of the crime of fraud.”
If a lawsuit for the return of investment funds satisfies the requirements of the crime of fraud, then it may be converted into a criminal case.
