yeah, I know. It could be a terrible translation too-- I used to go to a Chinese food place near my old university which had the english name 'double greeting wonton house', before I could read chinese characters I just assumed it was a weird word for word translation. Then I learned that the chinese sign said something like '7 happiness small restaurant'... To this day I cant figure out where the weird english name came from.

Yes, lets all pretend that Azubu's situation was 100% obvious. Classy. If they're proven to be legit, are we going to jump on the "I knew it!" bandwagon again?

The fact is; Nobody knows what they do or how they did it. Companies shroud their practices for reasons other than money laundering and investment fraud, no reason to act all high and mighty about how privvy you are to all this knowledge that may not even be true.

Anyways.

Proof of this?

Well I am not in Berlin so I cannot confirm myself. But IHZ website (the place where they are supposed to be located) doesn't mention Azubu at all. With the recent revelations, I assume the adress is only there for mailbox purposes.or just fictitious.

My poor uneducated mind is still having trouble connecting the dots and understanding the situation, anyone wanna help me a bit? T_T

Basic TL;DR of my understanding. Please correct me if i got something incorrect, or am missing something.

Azubu is supposedly a german company located in Berlin, and South Korea, except their office in Berlin doesn't exist, or at least not where they say it is. According to their co-founder, they also have a game studio in south korea (which no one knows about).

A guy called Lars Windhorst who people claimed to be the CEO. Lars has been found guilty of fraud and is close to a guy called Seok Ki Kim, another criminal who has been wanted in korea since the 90s. Rumor says that Lars helped Kim Launder money months ago. Their former CEO is South Korean llir kusari, some relatively unknown guy who, has also been convicted of fraud and theft.

Kim owns a company called Multi-Luck Investment, in British Virigin islands to avoid taxes, who is the only shareholder of a company called SYSK, Which own the trademark of Azubu.
