Will I be detained for fraud?

I made some money with Bitcoin and posted on an online community, compiling my income records and how I get in and out of trades. I also posted that if people entrusted their funds to me, I would help them avoid losing their principal, and I received money from people. Then quite a lot of people gathered, and things did not go as well as expected, so the balance fell below the principal. Those people filed a criminal complaint against me for fraud. Is this a matter that could lead to detention for fraud?

What are the requirements for punishment for a deepfake crime involving a celebrity?

Hello. There is a female idol singer I like.

I have a question about the crime of extortion and intimidation involving the harassment of a minor.

There was a person I was chatting with on an open chat, and while we were talking fine, they suddenly claimed I had harassed a minor and forcibly took screenshots of only the parts favorable to them, saying they would file a complaint and demanding 200 as a settlement. I am wondering whether this constitutes the crime of extortion and intimidation and what the level of punishment for the crime of extortion and intimidation is. Also, is it possible to restore the deleted chat portions?

I have a question regarding an attachment of claim and collection order.

Hello. Nine years ago, I personally lent money to an acquaintance. The acquaintance says that they lent that money to their own older brother.. At the time, even though I wanted to get the money back, I was not in a position to proceed with a lawsuit, so I just let it pass.. It is about 5 million won, but even that is precious money to me.. I am thinking about at least filing an attachment of claim and collection order against the acquaintance's older brother.. Has the extinctive prescription not yet expired for this? Please tell me about the extinctive prescription for debt collection and the method for an attachment of claim and collection order!

Daejeon attorney: is a consultation available on weekends as well?

I live alone in an officetel in Daejeon. The landlord suddenly said he would come to see the unit and asked me for the door password; since I could not go there in person, I told him once, and I thought he would not come again after that. However, after I returned home yesterday, there were traces that someone had been there, and when I asked the landlord, he said that he had gone in once again yesterday. I am angry and want to file a complaint for intrusion upon habitation; is there a Daejeon attorney who also provides consultations on weekends?

I want to proceed with a lawsuit for confirmation of non-existence of debt; please tell me how.

I did borrow money from an acquaintance 13 years ago, but I understand that, as the extinctive prescription of the claim has already been completed, there is no reason to repay it. But now, after all this time, they have sent certified mail demanding repayment and are pressing me; do I need to repay this? For now, I am ignoring all of the acquaintance's contact. Attorney for claims and debts, I want to proceed with a lawsuit for confirmation of non-existence of debt; could you tell me the requirements and the method?

Is this a case in which I would be punished for special (aggravated) bodily injury?

I tend to black out when I drink. I remember bits and pieces. My friends got into an argument with the people at the next table, and at first it was just a verbal fight, but I ended up hitting one of the people at the next table with a soju bottle, and I am told the injury required about two weeks of recovery. The victim has filed a criminal complaint against me for special (aggravated) bodily injury, and I am scared about whether I will be punished for special (aggravated) bodily injury.
