The BTC arbitrage in Asian markets was absolutely NOT very above board. He lied to get Japanese bank accounts opened and to keep them open. Transferring the BTC into Korea was against the law there. He just figured out how to do it for quite a while without getting caught.

Yes, it made money. Yes, he claimed it was legit, but it wasn't--it was money laundering illegal gains. It just sounds so much better when you call it "arbitrage".

This was all covered in the case.
