So AZUBU is a money laundering front? Or a mostly fake company that the owner wanted people to think is legit so he could get the stock to go up and then sell it? I'm confused.

i think it's more of a fake company for investment fraud than money laundering purposes

Just hope AZUBU isn't going to disappear completely, that would mean plenty of really good progammers would be teamless (SuperNova, San, TOP, violet, Symbol...) that would mean retirement for several of them...

Wasn't it obvious that AZUBU was just a cover company for money laundering?

Will be terrible news for the Korean SC2 scene if AZUBU disolves. No more AZUBU in GSTL and a lot of good players retiring without anymore income likely resulting in some retirements. I think players like Symbol and ViOlet will have no problem finding good new teams but for everyone else it'll be tough.

So far I don't understand what fraud people say Kim is planning/guilty of. Is it a pump and dump?

Well that sucks, guess the Azubu SC2 players will soon become teamless again if Azubu gets dissolved because of this.

Should if we want sustainable ecosystem.

The recent "news" makes sense. I don't think many people will be surprised now we just have a name to fill in the blanks with.
