“A Beautiful Day For Justice”: Researcher Celebrates Do Kwon’s ArrestIn a shocking turn of events, Do Kwon, the former CEO of Terraform Labs, has been arrested for his alleged involvement in the collapse of Terra and Luna in May of last year. The news was first shared by a former researcher of the company, known as FatMan, on his Twitter account on the 24th of March. FatMan, who has been tracking Do Kwon since the collapse of the companies, shared his response to the news of Kwon’s arrest, stating “It’s a beautiful day for justice.” He went on to call Kwon “spineless, despicable, and soulless” for stealing money he did not need and for giving up time with his family for the sake of greed. According to FatMan’s tweets, Kwon attempted to evade the authorities by illegally forging several travel documents. FatMan also revealed that Kwon had the opportunity to do the right thing and honor the Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) refund when the victims appealed in May of last year. He could have admitted everything when insiders came forward, or he could have turned himself in after a warrant was issued. However, Kwon chose to run and evade responsibility. Twitter: @azcoinnews The scale of Kwon’s alleged crimes is staggering. FatMan noted that stealing hundreds of millions of dollars requires a special and almost diabolical level of greed. In Kwon’s insatiable quest for wealth, he gave up years with his family that will never return. This is a tragic consequence of greed that has devastated countless individuals and families. The arrest of Do Kwon is a significant development in the ongoing investigation into the collapse of Terra and Luna. It remains to be seen what charges Kwon will face and what the ultimate outcome of this case will be. However, it is clear that the actions of Kwon and others involved in the collapse of these companies have had far-reaching consequences that will be felt for years to come. #Dokwon #Terra #TerraformLabs #LUNA #azcoinnews This article was republished from azcoinnews.com

Following the opening remarks given by the SEC and #DoKwon 's defense team, the #LUNC price is now in a recovery phase. Do Kwon and #TerraformLabs are set to spend the next two weeks in federal court as they face charges of securities fraud. On Monday, the parties presented their opening statements, which provide a glimpse into the evidence that will be presented by each. The prices of $LUNA and $LUNC are both on the mend. On Monday, when the rest of the market woke up, so did the prices of Terra Luna (LUNA) and Terra Classic (LUNC). Both cryptocurrencies are gaining traction and are part of the Terraform Labs ecosystem. This coincides with the start of Terraform Labs executive Do Kwon's trial with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Do Kwon trial vs. the SEC The trial between the SEC and Do Kwon began on Monday in a federal court in Manhattan. Despite the trial's initiation, the defendant was represented by his legal team and did not make an appearance. At the meeting on March 25, jury selection took place alongside opening statements. The market lost more than $40 billion when Terraform Labs' TerraUSD "stablecoin" crashed in May 2022, and Do Kwon is suspected of being the mastermind behind this catastrophe. Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement, Gurbir S. Grewal, echoed this sentiment when he laid out the basic problems with the Terraform ecosystem, pointing to a lack of "decentralization and financial integrity" as the main causes. Grewal went on to say that the business was ripe for fraud and described it as an algorithmic "stablecoin" that was really manipulated by Do Kwon and the corporation rather than pre-existing technology. At the same time, the prices of LUNA and LUNC are beginning to rise again. Both Terra Classic and Terra Luna have had price increases of around 3% and 2%, respectively. But the trial is only starting, so both cryptocurrencies are still in the dark. Members in the community should be prepared for instability because the trial is scheduled to run for two weeks.

Where is Do Kwon?A jury has found #TerraformLabs and its co-founder, #DoKwon liable for civil fraud charges brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The case, which began with closing arguments on Friday, lasted two weeks. The SEC accused Terraform and Kwon of misleading investors regarding the algorithmic stablecoin Terra #LUNA USD, which experienced a dramatic collapse in 2022, wiping out over $50 BILLION! The #SEC alleged that #Terraform and Kwon raised billions from investors through unregistered transactions, misrepresenting the stability of UST, the stablecoin linked to the Terra blockchain. One key claim was that Kwon falsely stated that a Korean payments company, Chai, was using Terraform's blockchain for transactions. The jury considered whether Kwon and Terraform violated federal securities laws by engaging in fraudulent activities related to Terraform securities. Judge Jed Rakoff granted summary judgment to the SEC on the claim of offering unregistered securities. The SEC's Enforcement Director, Gurbir Grewal, stated that Kwon and Terraform misled investors about UST's stability, resulting in significant losses. Kwon, who was released from prison in Montenegro last month, faces criminal charges in multiple countries, including South Korea and the U.S. He remains in Montenegro, with legal proceedings ongoing. Where is Do Kwon? Do Kwon, recently released from prison in Montenegro, remains there facing criminal charges from multiple countries, including South Korea and the U.S. His lawyers reportedly prefer South Korea, where the maximum sentence for financial crimes is typically shorter than in the U.S., which allows consecutive sentences for each crime. Kwon was arrested in Montenegro in March 2023 for using a counterfeit passport and agreed to be extradited to South Korea. He was sentenced to four months in prison for document forgery but lost his appeal and remains detained.

LUNC technical analysis: Bears rally post bullish surge The #TerraLunaClassic price prediction for 2024 factors in the asset's performance over the past year, influenced by developments, market volatility, and overall trends in the cryptocurrency landscape. As the period of analysis began, LUNC was seen slightly above the pivotal mark of $0.000110. However, this position was short-lived, as bearish tendencies took the reins by mid-April. Furthermore, this pushed the altcoin’s value to settle just above the $0.000087 threshold. June saw LUNC's price stabilize at this level, with an evident power struggle between buyers wanting to push prices up and sellers aiming to drive them down. This balance persisted until mid-July, after which sellers dominated the market, driving LUNC down to its lowest support level at $0.000056 by mid-September. The narrative began to shift as October's market winds blew favorably for the bulls, catalyzing a vigorous rally that saw LUNC ascend to a peak resistance level of $0.000200 by November. The exuberance of this rally waned come December, ushering in a downtrend that saw #LUNC✅ descend past the critical support level of $0.000110 by January. Undeterred by this setback, buyers rallied once again, elevating LUNC's price back to the $0.000200 benchmark by March. Yet, this resurgence was met with resistance, culminating in a price correction that morphed into a downtrend, effectively pulling prices down past the once steadfast $0.000110 level in April. At the close of the analysis period, $LUNC was being traded at $0.000098. The token’s current market sentiments signify a bearish dominance. According to #CoinMarketCap , LUNC witnessed a 27% depreciation in price over the past month, with its trading volume plunging by 22% over the past 24 hours.

The exuberance of this rally waned come December, ushering in a downtrend that saw #LUNC✅ descend past the critical support level of $0.000110 by January.

Undeterred by this setback, buyers rallied once again, elevating LUNC's price back to the $0.000200 benchmark by March. Yet, this resurgence was met with resistance, culminating in a price correction that morphed into a downtrend, effectively pulling prices down past the once steadfast $0.000110 level in April.

At the close of the analysis period, $LUNC was being traded at $0.000098. The token’s current market sentiments signify a bearish dominance. According to #CoinMarketCap , LUNC witnessed a 27% depreciation in price over the past month, with its trading volume plunging by 22% over the past 24 hours.

Terraform Labs’ Bankruptcy: Response to SEC Charges?In a surprising turn of events for the Terra community, Terraform Labs has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Cryptos Headlines Platform Has Launched Its Native Token's Airdrop for the Public Join Airdrop Now on https://cryptosheadlinestoken.com/ CEO Chris Amani is leading this strategic move, initiated on January 21 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, as a means to strengthen the company’s position amidst an ongoing legal dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Utilizing bankruptcy laws as a protective shield, Terraform Labs challenges the SEC’s lawsuit, arguing against the classification of crypto assets within Terra’s domain as securities. Terraform Labs’ Bankruptcy Hearing: A Crucial Moment Today marks a pivotal day for Terraform Labs as they attend their first U.S. bankruptcy hearing. This filing isn’t merely a legal maneuver but a deliberate strategy aimed at reinforcing their defense against the SEC’s multibillion-dollar allegations. The potential to sidestep the typical hefty bond requirement adds an intriguing dimension to this unfolding narrative. Chris Amani elaborates that the bankruptcy move could alleviate a substantial financial burden. The filing sheds light on the company’s financial standing, revealing assets and liabilities ranging from $100 million to $500 million and involving 100 to 199 creditors. The SEC has accused Terraform Labs and co-founder Do Kwon of engaging in a “multibillion-dollar crypto asset securities fraud” related to TerraClassicUSD and Luna. A recent court ruling has supported the SEC’s claims, setting the stage for a trial reminiscent of the FTX case. In a December ruling in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Judge Jed Rakoff sided with the SEC, affirming that Terra had issued unregistered securities. This legal victory bolsters the SEC’s case, heightening accusations of securities law violations. Terraform Labs’ Bold Challenge to SEC Authority Undeterred by the legal battle, Chris Amani asserts that their upcoming appeal isn’t merely a defense; it’s a direct challenge to the SEC’s authority. The argument posits that Terra’s crypto assets should not be categorized as securities, raising questions about the SEC’s jurisdiction. Notably, the company’s treasury holds approximately $28 million in Bitcoin, $7 million in various cryptocurrencies, and around $87 million in Luna. The situation further complicates as the SEC agrees to postpone Do Kwon’s trial until March 25, allowing time for extradition proceedings. Kwon faces potential extradition to South Korea, where he could potentially face a 40-year prison sentence for alleged crimes committed there.
