Today, local authorities have begun their official criminal investigation of an illegal Korean manufacturer, U-BioMed.
U-BioMed has been illegally manufacturing and selling counterfeit products under the stolen trademark of AQUAGOLD® fine touch™, owned by Aquavit Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its Korean subsidiary, Aquavit Life Sciences, Inc.
Authorities have seized the products from U-BioMed’s booth in the 2019 KIMES convention as evidence and interrogated their sales representatives. At first, U-BioMed claimed that they were simply displaying AQUAGOLD® trademarks, videos and products but not actually selling them during the show, but police have since identified a doctor who purchased counterfeit AQUAGOLD® at the booth about an hour prior to the interrogation.
U-BioMed, a repeat offender of piracy and creator of countless false statements and fake documents, is finally under the scrutiny of law enforcement. Police requested that U-BioMed’s CEO, Eum Nyun Shik, who also goes by the alias Corea Eum, appear at the police station earlier today. When he failed to make an appearance, a sales representative was escorted to the police station in his place.
Since the launch of AQUAGOLD® fine touch™ with its official web site www.AQUAGOLDFINETOUCH.com, AQUAGOLD® products have been adored by many celebrities and media outlets worldwide. U-BioMed has been abusing the use of both the internet and social media to ride the fame of AQUAGOLD®, claiming itself as the manufacturer and inventor. Confusingly enough, they have also been falsely claiming that they are contract manufacturing AQUAGOLD® as a private label.
The time has come for such damaging and dangerous acts to come to an end. AQUAGOLD® fine touch™ is an FDA registered, CE Marked, KFDA registered medical device intended to micro-inject valuable drugs or biologics into the skin. Making a cheap counterfeit without GMP standard or quality control threatens public safety and increases the risks of physician liability.
“It is a relief to know that the police have made an action towards justice and public safety” said Sobin Chang, CEO of Aquavit, “We will ensure the court’s injunctive order is applied into global commerce and trade and will work closely with Interpol in Europe as well”.
U-BioMed has, thus far, received millions of dollars in government funding under false pretenses and have used taxpayer’s money for its illegal operation in selling counterfeits at conventions and through internet marketing.
