Do Kwon, co-founder of Terraform Labs, has been released from prison in Montenegro while the extradition proceedings regarding his request to be extradited to the USA and South Korea are still ongoing, according to a report by Bloomberg citing officials from the prison system.
Doubts Surrounding Kwon's Extradition Decision:
His recent decision to be extradited to South Korea has been challenged by the top prosecutor of Montenegro. Recently, it has come to light that the highest prosecutor's office in Montenegro has transferred this case for review to the Supreme Court, citing irregularities.
Arrest of Do Kwon and the Collapse of the Terra Project:
Do Kwon was arrested in Montenegro in March 2023 when he was caught with a fake Costa Rican passport while attempting to travel to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Kwon was the architect of the failed crypto project TerraUSD stablecoin, which experienced a collapse along with LUNA, another token from the Terra project.
Extradition Decision and Investigation:
Both the USA and South Korea have requested Kwon's extradition, but the Minister of Justice of Montenegro favors extradition to South Korea. This decision has been contested by the top prosecutor of Montenegro. South Korean authorities are now actively seeking to prosecute Do Kwon for his alleged frauds and tax evasion.
Do Kwon has denied the accusations, claiming that the $40 billion collapse of the Terra ecosystem was a result of market forces and does not indicate any criminal activity.

* Freshly extradited from Montenegro, Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon pleaded not guilty to U.S. criminal charges over Terra's collapse.
Alleged crypto crook Do Kwon pleaded pleaded not guilty in a New York court Thursday to U.S. criminal charges over the 2022 collapse of the Terra crypto ecosystem, following his extradition earlier this week from Montenegro.
Feds hit the 33-year-old disgraced tech entrepreneur with nine criminal counts, including securities fraud, wire fraud, commodities fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. He agreed Thursday to be held without bail before U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert Lehrburger, Inner City Press reported.
Kwon founded Terra, a once-sizable crypto ecosystem with apps built around the LUNA token and the TerraUSD (UST) algorithmic stablecoin. The project was popular with investors, and rapidly grew to become the second-biggest blockchain in the sphere after Ethereum by early 2022.

Judge: How do you plead?
Not guilty [through counsel Chesley who adds, We consent to detention without prejudice
Its native cryptocurrency, LUNA, was in its prime as one of the top digital assets by market cap. Kwon made a lot of money, very quickly, and even mocked "poor" people on X (formerly known as Twitter).
But Terra collapsed in May 2022, taking $40 billion of investors' money with it. The crash led to a brutal bear market, as many crypto projects with exposure to the project later declared bankruptcy.
The project's main product, the UST stablecoin, couldn't keep its stable peg to the dollar, resulting in the entire ecosystem collapsing and losing nearly all of its value in a matter of days.
Authorities in both the U.S. and South Korea now allege that the entrepreneur was a scammer who conned investors into buying his cryptocurrency.
Behind the scenes, core Terraform products did not work as Kwon advertised, and were manipulated to create the illusion of a functioning and decentralized financial system in order to lure investors," Thursday's indictment reads.
Kwon was arrested in Montenegro last year for allegedly attempting to travel on a fake passport. His lawyers kept him in the country until Tuesday, when he was finally extradited to the United States.

The Terra ecosystem collapse in 2022 didn't make as many headlines as #Ftx❓ , but the total number of victims could exceed 1 million, according to new court documents.

The documents filed this week allege that the number of victims of disgraced crypto mogul, Terraform Labs founder #DoKwon , is “difficult to precisely quantify.”

Kwon last week pleaded not guilty in a New York court to U.S. criminal charges including fraud over the collapse of the Terra crypto ecosystem. His crypto project went up in smoke in 2022, leaving a $40 billion black hole and many investors out of pocket.

“Given the number of potential victims in this case, the government respectfully submits that it is impracticable to give individualized notice to each potential victim,” a Monday court document read.

It added that the government believes that the number of victims “exceeds hundreds of thousands of individuals and entities, and potentially totals more than 1 million.”

Kwon founded the crypto ecosystem Terra, which had the flagship $LUNA
token and TerraUSD (UST) algorithmic stablecoin as its main products. Investors used it as a gateway into the world of decentralized finance, or DeFi, and LUNA quickly became one of the most valuable crypto coins on the market.

But the UST stablecoin couldn’t keep its stable peg to the U.S. dollar, and the entire ecosystem collapsed, wiping its market cap out very quickly.

Authorities now allege that Kwon conned investors into a sham project to enrich himself. Feds in both the U.S. and Korea have hit him with criminal charges. In the U.S., Kwon is facing nine criminal charges, including securities, wire, and commodities fraud, plus conspiracy to commit money laundering.

“Behind the scenes, core Terraform products did not work as Kwon advertised, and were manipulated to create the illusion of a functioning and decentralized financial system in order to lure investors,” the Monday document read.

Terra collapsed ahead of FTX’s own bankruptcy in 2022. FTX, once a huge crypto brand that allowed users to buy and sell digital coins and tokens, quickly collapsed due to criminal mismanagement.

Following a much-publicized criminal trial, co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried is now serving a 25-year sentence for his part in the collapse of his crypto company. His attorneys have appealed the judgment, claiming an unfair trial.
