6.9 Regulation Bithumb CEO李在元因涉嫌为议员之子安排工作被调查，案件还涉及对Upbit的议会施压，令Bithumb监管压力加剧。
Bithumb首席执行官李在元因涉嫌行贿被韩国警方立案调查，案件涉及为无党派议员金炳基之子提供就业便利。首尔地方警察厅公共犯罪调查科正在调查李在元是否于2024年11月的一次晚宴中，应金炳基直接请求，为其子在Bithumb安排工作。金炳基之子据称自2025年1月起在Bithumb工作约六个月。 警方还在调查金炳基是否利用议员身份为Bithumb谋利，或在委员会会议中以垄断为由向其竞争对手、Upbit运营商Dunamu施压。调查范围包括搜查Bithumb办公室及审查与金炳基相关的其他招聘。 目前，李在元、金炳基及其他涉案人员尚未被法院判定有罪，调查仍在进行中。此案令Bithumb面临的监管压力进一步加大，近期该交易所已因反洗钱问题被罚款，并遭遇运营挑战。
