<p>South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb is reportedly looking for a buyer once again.</p> <p>Herald Corporation <a href="http://news.heraldcorp.com/view.php?ud=20200922000155">reported</a> the news on Tuesday, citing investment banking industry sources. Accounting giant Samjong KPMG is said to be in charge of the Bithumb sale, at a price tag of at least 500 billion won (~$430 million) and up to 700 billion won (~$604 million).</p> <p>Some foreign financial investors and domestic private equity funds are reportedly interested in buying Bithumb. But they will have to go through a complicated process due to uncertainties around the exchange, per the report.</p> <p>Bithumb and its chairman Lee Jung Hoon are currently <a href="https://www.theblockcrypto.com/linked/78131/police-summon-bithumb-chairman-alleged-fraud">under investigation</a> by the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. They are accused of pre-selling Bithumb's native BXA tokens worth about 30 billion won (~$25 million) to investors and then not listing the token, which has allegedly led to investors' losses. Lee is also charged with evading property abroad.</p> <p>Bithumb previously looked to sell itself in 2018 to BK Global Consortium, but that deal was canceled last October because BK chairman Kim Byung-Gun could not pay the entire amount. At that time, Bithumb's selling price was reportedly around 400 billion won (~$345 million).</p>
