Park Sang-kim, the Justice Minister ordered a stern measures against cryptocurrency criminals. As per him the lack of clear regulations on cryptocurrency exchanges lead to a growth in the use of quasi-anonymous or opaque accounts.

With that step, exchanges keep users funds on their corporate bank accounts, keeping their identities private. Reportedly, the government proposed to end such a practice, though the court halted the initiative ruling citing that the government’s idea of closing the exchange’s corporate bank accounts as inappropriate.
