The comspiracy of Lee Yoon-hyung death in New York

accident. She can be a victum of US death squad.
SEOUL, South Korea (Reuters) -- Lee Yoon-hyung, an heiress to the
wealthy family that controls South Korea's Samsung Group, has committed
suicide at the age of 26, a company official said on Monday.
As with most things related to the secretive family that controls huge
swathes of the country's business, the unfolding story of her death,
with more than a hint of mystery, has gripped South Korea.
Last week, newspapers ran front-page articles saying Lee the youngest
daughter of Samsung Group chairman Lee Kun-hee, died in a traffic
accident in New York, where she was attending graduate school.
But on Monday papers reported Lee had hanged herself with an electrical
cord at her New York apartment, citing local police and medical
examiners' reports.
Samsung spokesman Yim Jun-seok confirmed that Lee's death was a
suicide.
"At the time the story initially broke, we had an insufficient amount
of information," he said by telephone.
After later learning about the actual cause of death, company officials
did not correct initial reports out of respect for the family and due
to the personal nature of the episode, he added.
"It was a tragic incident and the family was already suffering from
it."
The heiress once enjoyed popularity in South Korea when she started a
personal Web site called "Pretty Yoon-hyung" that described what is was
like to be a daughter in a family that ran the country's top
conglomerate.
Lee shared her father's passion for fast cars and was working to
increase her knowledge of art in order to help run Samsung's cultural
foundation, local media reported.
But newspapers speculated Lee, a graduate student at New York
University, may have been suffering from depression.
Lee had shares in company affiliates worth about 179 billion won
($171.9 million), according to Medias Equitables, an Internet site that
provides information on individual shareholders.
The suicide comes at a difficult time for the family of the Samsung
Group, which had combined sales of 135.5 trillion won in 2004,
equivalent to more than one-sixth of South Korea's annual gross
domestic product.
The business practices of South Korean conglomerates, where a family
often controls the group through a complex web of shareholdings, have
come under increasing scrutiny.
Last month, two Samsung executives were given suspended jail terms over
a deal that helped the children of the chairman Lee buy a majority
stake in an affiliate through bonds bought at below-market prices.
Lee Kun-hee has also been in the United States since September to
receive treatment at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, where he
underwent surgery for lung cancer in 2000, according to media reports.
The Samsung chairman's departure also coincided with a request from a
parliamentary committee for him to testify over alleged irregularities
at a former Samsung automobile unit.

o.k. I read the whole article. Didn't find anything about a
conspiracy. Exactly what objectives would be fulfilled for the U.S. by
an heiress to Samsung? Utterly ridiculous.
It is truly a shame that the Lee family can't be left alone at this
time to grieve without wild preposterous allegations being fabricated.

pretty good idea of their skeletons. Still, though, I don't think it
is appropriate to use this opportunity to fabricate allegations.

Korean intelligent agents.
On the same weekend (perhaps the same day and the same hour) that Lee
Yoon-hyung "committed suicide" by hanging without a suicide note in
NYC, the former No. 2 official at South Korea's spy agency--Lee Soo-Il
(no relation to Lee Yoon-hyung)--"committed suicide" by hanging without
a suicide note in Gwangju, Korea. Mr. Lee had admitted that South
Korean spies had illegally wiretapped conversations by Samsung Vice
Chairman Lee Hak-Soo and others. This illegal wiretapping had produced
recordings showing that Samsung had made illegal donations of funds in
the 1997 Korean presidential election. Lee Soo-Il's confession had
made him very unpopular among South Korean spies, who are currently
being prosecuted for the illegal wiretapping.
Earlier in 2005, Lee Yoon-hung's father, Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee,
had been summoned to appear before the Korean National Assembly to
answer questions about the 1997 Korean election Samsung bribery
scandal. Mr. Lee never appeared and instead flew to the U.S.,
allegedly for cancer checkup in Houston. He did not return to Korea
and his whereabouts are currently unknown. He did not attend his
daughter's funeral in New York.
Then on the weekend of November 19-20, 2005, the double suicides
occurred. Who had a motive for killing Lee Yoon-hung and Lee Soo Il?
South Korea's spy agency. They killed Mr. Lee because he implicated
them for illegal wiretapping and they killed Ms. Lee to retaliate
against her father and Samsung, which has been giving the Korean spies
a lot of heat for their wiretapping activities.
The question that remains now. Where is Sansung Chairman Lee Kun-hee?
