๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ผ SEC Seeks $5.2B Penalties from Terraform and Do Kwon! ๐Ÿ’ผ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Hold onto your hats, folks! The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is making waves with its pursuit of substantial monetary penalties against Terraform Labs and its co-founder, Do Kwon. In a bold move, the SEC is demanding a whopping $5.2 billion in penalties following a civil case verdict. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ’ธ

In a recent filing, the SEC is pushing for Terraform and Kwon to cough up approximately $4.7 billion in disgorgement and prejudgment interest, alongside a staggering $520 million in civil penalties. That's a jaw-dropping total of $520 million from Terraform and $100 million from Kwon. ๐Ÿ“œ๐Ÿ’ผ

But the drama doesn't end there: Terraform and Kwon have differing views on the proposed penalties. While the crypto firm suggests a maximum civil penalty of $3.5 million, Kwon is pushing for a significantly lower amount of $800,000. It's a battle of wills as they navigate the legal storm. โš–๏ธ๐ŸŒฉ๏ธ

In addition to the financial judgment, the SEC is recommending measures such as disqualifying Kwon from holding positions as an officer or director of a security issuer and enforcing full disclosure of banking accounts and assets. They also aim to implement a "conduct-based injunction" on Terraform to prevent future misconduct. ๐Ÿ”’๐Ÿ’ผ

The SEC isn't holding back, emphasizing the defendants' purported lack of remorse and the potential for future violations. They're sending a clear message: No excuses will justify actions contrary to federal securities laws. It's a pivotal moment in the crypto world as regulations tighten and accountability becomes paramount. ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ”

Stay tuned as this legal saga unfolds and awaits approval by a judge. This development comes on the heels of a jury's verdict finding Terraform and Kwon liable for defrauding investors, marking a significant chapter in the ongoing battle for accountability in the crypto market. ๐Ÿ’ผ๐Ÿ”’ #SEC #Terraform #DoKwon #CryptoRegulation ๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿ”’
