The committee also accused Tai Mo Shan of acting as a statutory underwriter by issuing and selling securities in unregistered transactions, with LUNA being the cryptocurrency issued and sold by Terraform as a security.
As part of the settlement agreement, Tai Mo Shan agrees to pay $73,452,756 in illicit gains, $12,916,153 in pre-judgment interest, and $36,726,378 in civil penalties.
