Did Cho Hee-pal, behind a 5 trillion won fraud, really die in China in 2011?
Between 2004 and 2008 Cho Hee-pal's organisation took in 5.0715 trillion won from some 70,000 people, promising high returns from a medical-equipment rental business. As investigators closed in, he fled to China by boat in December 2008. In December 2011 came word that he had died in China, with a video of the funeral, but his cremated remains yielded no DNA, and sightings kept being reported. In 2016 prosecutors concluded after a fresh investigation that he was dead. Along the way, prosecution and police officials who took money from the organisation were also arrested and charged.

Only a century after it was found, once there was a way to look inside, did it become clear that the device computed the positions of the heavens and the timing of eclipses. Who built it is still unanswered.
