Prosecutors on Friday requested an arrest warrant for Ku Young-bae, CEO of Singapore-based Qoo10, which owns Korean online shopping platforms TMON and WeMakePrice, for alleged fraud, embezzlement and breach of duty over large-scale e-commerce insolvency incidents.The Seoul Central District Prosecutors Office also sought warrants to arrest TMON CEO Ryu Kwang-jin and WeMakePrice CEO Ryu Hwa-hyun.The prosecution said it filed for the warrants for them considering the significance of the incident, and the risk of them destroying evidence and fleeing.In late July, TMON and WeMakePrice filed for corporate rehabilitation with the Seoul Bankruptcy Court after failing to make payments to vendors using their platforms since early July.The payment delays by the two platforms prompted local financial authorities to launch an investigation. The authorities estimated there are more than 1.5 trillion won (US$1.1 billion) of unpaid bills and other liquidity issues regarding the incident.Source: Yonhap News Agency
