Seoul Police Raid Bithumb HQ Again on June 8, 2026 in Kim Byung-ki Probe
Seoul police reportedly carried out a second compulsory search at Bithumb's Gangnam-gu headquarters on June 8, 2026, as part of a corruption investigation involving independent lawmaker Kim Byung-ki. The case centers on allegations that Kim sought a job at the exchange for his second son, who was reportedly hired in early January 2025 and worked there for about six months. Bithumb has said the hiring process followed normal procedures, while police have indicated the wider probe still requires further work.
