Do Kwon, Founder of Terra Luna, Set to be Extradited to the US
In a significant development in the legal case involving Do Kwon, founder of Terra Luna, it has been reported that he will be extradited to the United States. Montenegro has privately confirmed their intention to send Kwon to the US to face criminal charges. This decision stems from Kwon’s arrest earlier this year when he was caught trying to leave the country with falsified documents.
Kwon’s Involvement in TerraUSD Manipulation
Kwon’s reputation in the digital asset industry has been tarnished due to his involvement in manipulating the TerraUSD stablecoin, which resulted in various criminal charges against him. Additionally, the $40 billion crash associated with his actions has led prosecutors in both the US and South Korea to seek his trial.
Failed Attempts to Halt Extradition Process
Despite efforts by Kwon’s legal team to halt the extradition process, reports indicate that he is set to be extradited to the US. A senior Montenegrin justice official has privately confirmed these plans. Kwon’s legal team appealed a decision approving the extradition but was unsuccessful.
Charges Brought by SEC
The charges against Kwon were filed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in February. He is accused of orchestrating a multibillion-dollar crypto asset securities fraud. With his extradition imminent, a trial will likely take place to address his crimes as head of Terra Luna.
