This is more a punishment for him using his money on anything other then cars, hot kpop chicks, and Brood War.

So SOBENU existed before SBENU and also made shoes? how was this not a red flag straight away? I dunno Korean law, but in the US UK and Australia, if i tried to launch a company called NIKEY who sold shoes, the government would be telling me i need a new name before Nike even noticed...

try googling "sobenu shoes" and it asks "did you mean sbenu"? I assume this Sobenu company are nobodys themselves. Also that logo is as generic as it gets, I wouldn't even take it for free, let alone pay for it.

Ironically both SOBENU and SBENU in google for me both ask if i mean SOBENA which appears to be a dead company, Google loses this one for me =X

It was a red flag. Its actually been a red flag in korea for ages. There were allegations of bribery and of fake reviews online for months.
Sbenu was known as a shady ass place to koreans who actually knew about it (which surprise, werent alot of people).

EDIT: AND DONT GIVE ME THAT "but hoon idols advertised for it how could korea not know" SHIT

SK's policies make it hard for start up companies to rise up, all 5 of the richest people in Korea have inherited their wealth compared to none of the 5 in Japan and 1 of 29 in China that inherited their wealth. Korea hasn't had a significant company since STX Shipbuilding and even STX isn't around anymore.

So when "Sonic" started a "fashion" company, most thought it was a joke. And when he started throwing money around like baboon, investigation started.

The StarCraft scene will shrink more this year. Bad news from Korea, a WCS system that benefits inferior players and a last expansion that did not change much about the flaws that the game is suffering from. I'd assume that news like this one wouldn't hit the scene as hard as they do if Blizzard had not fucked up as much as Blizzard did. It's really sad to see the game declining for those reasons.

This is bad news for StarCraft but more importantly bad news for the franchisees and employees. They got screwed over hard by Sonic here and this may ruin their lives financially.

Hard not to bash when most things they do are bashing-worthy, tbh
