U.S. prosecutors estimate that over one million individuals and entities were affected by the collapse of the TerraUSD and Luna cryptocurrencies, linked to Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon. The indictment alleges Kwon misled investors about the decentralized nature of his financial ecosystem, resulting in losses exceeding $40 billion. Following his capture in Montenegro, Kwon faces multiple criminal charges in the U.S., including fraud and conspiracy, and has pleaded not guilty.
Do Kwon, former CEO of Terraform Labs, faces fraud charges in the US, impacting over a million global investors due to the collapse of the Terra ecosystem and its algorithmic stablecoin, UST. The case highlights significant regulatory challenges in the cryptocurrency sector, with the US government working to inform victims of their rights. Kwon, who pleaded not guilty, could face up to 130 years in prison.
Do Kwon, co-founder of Terraform Labs, pleaded not guilty to U.S. fraud charges linked to the $40 billion collapse of TerraUSD, affecting over a million victims. Extradited from Montenegro, he faces nine felony charges and remains in detention as the case highlights the need for accountability in the cryptocurrency sector. Following a separate SEC civil case, Kwon and Terraform were ordered to pay $4.5 billion in penalties, further complicating the legal landscape for crypto leaders.
Do Kwon, co-founder of Terraform Labs, faces a new money laundering conspiracy charge following his extradition from Montenegro. The indictment alleges he facilitated transactions exceeding $10,000, aware they were proceeds of unlawful activity. Kwon pleaded not guilty to all charges during his court appearance on January 2, 2024, and remains in detention as the possibility of a plea deal or trial looms.
Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon pleaded not guilty to multiple charges, including securities fraud and money laundering, during his first US court appearance on January 2, 2025. Following his extradition from Montenegro, Kwon agreed to be held without bail, with a status conference scheduled for January 8, 2025. Montenegro's Justice Minister approved his extradition after considering various factors, emphasizing a zero-tolerance policy for fraud.
Montenegro's Justice Minister has signed an order to extradite Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon to the US, following a Supreme Court ruling that all legal conditions for extradition were met. This decision comes after months of competing requests from the US and South Korea, with the US request ultimately favored due to the severity of the alleged crimes and Kwon's citizenship. Kwon faces significant legal challenges in the US, including a lawsuit from the SEC alleging he misled investors, and has been charged with offenses related to the collapse of TerraUSD and Luna tokens, resulting in approximately $40 billion in losses.
Do Kwon, the founder of Terra (LUNA), is set to be extradited to the US after losing an appeal in Montenegro's Constitutional Court. The court confirmed that the conditions for extradition were met, favoring the US over South Korea, where Kwon also faces charges. He was arrested in March 2023 while attempting to flee with a fake passport, accused of orchestrating a Ponzi scheme that resulted in a $40 billion loss for investors.
Montenegro's Minister of Justice, Bojan Božović, has approved the extradition of Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon to the United States after the Constitutional Court dismissed his appeal. The decision follows a protracted legal battle, during which Kwon's extradition was reversed multiple times, with South Korea also seeking his extradition. The Ministry concluded that the legal criteria favored the U.S. request, marking a significant development in Kwon's ongoing legal issues.
Montenegro's justice minister has approved the extradition of Do Kwon, co-founder of Terraform Labs, to the United States, following a Supreme Court ruling. Kwon faces charges related to the $40 billion collapse of the Terra ecosystem, which misled investors and triggered widespread bankruptcies. After serving a four-month sentence for document forgery, he is currently held in Montenegro’s Shelter for Foreigners while awaiting extradition arrangements.
The SEC has charged Jump Crypto's subsidiary, Tai Mo Shan Limited, $123 million for misleading investors regarding Terra USD (UST) after its $1 peg collapsed. The regulator claims Tai Mo Shan's trading masked the true reliance on external support to maintain UST's price, contradicting Terraform Labs' assertions of an independent algorithmic mechanism. Additionally, Tai Mo Shan is held accountable for distributing unregistered securities in the U.S., leading to significant financial penalties.
