As an aside, since people mentioned "free Life", lol...with crooks like this at the top of Kespa, you have to wonder if he didn't feel forced to make some of his decisions - i.e., under duress or family threats. It's not as if he were the only one making bad choices when the rot has spread all the way to the top, we can now see. | ||

They just seem like crooked bunch of dudes who have nearly toppled Starcraft from the scene.

I hope they get shut down and all the crooks rot in jail. | ||

But ofcourse - such a big organization should have some safety mechanisms built in to prevent such stuff from happening. Don't be silly. People love to shit on KeSPA and blame everything wrong on them. | ||

Prosecutors suspect Lotte Homeshopping may have "lobbied" the former chairman for renewal. B) Why would Lotte need such shady moves to be able to renew their "operating license"? | ||

.... wait what? On November 07 2017 17:41 Jj_82 wrote: B) Why would Lotte need such shady moves to be able to renew their "operating license"? It probably isn't so much that Lotte gets benefits directly to their 'operating license' but that with donations these people in positions of power within the government can recommend, give discounts, etc. to the company at later times. It's the 'practical' lobbying that happens all the time in America. Spend a few million to sway the opinions and votes of those in power, and later get back hundreds of millions or even billions from that investment. | ||
