đŽTerraform Labs and its co-founder, Do Kwon, have reached a 'settlement in principle' with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), according to a recent court entry. â
đŽThis marks a pivotal moment in their legal battle with the SEC. A Thursday filing revealed that a Wednesday telephone conference, which was not recorded, led to the cancellation of a previously scheduled oral argument set for May 29. âŒ
đŽThe filing stated, "The oral argument previously set for 5/29/2024 has been cancelled because the parties have informed the Court that they reached a settlement in principle. The parties must file, by 6/12/2024, papers in support of a proposed final judgment consistent with the settlement."đ
đŽThe SEC charged Terraform and Kwon in February 2023 over the collapse of the algorithmic stablecoin Terra USD (UST) a year earlier. Recently, the parties had been disputing the fine amounts, with Terraform and Kwon's lawyers arguing for fines closer to $1 million, while the SEC proposed a significantly higher fine of $5.3 billion.đ°
đŽThe trial against Terraform began in late March without Kwon, who was absent. In April, a jury found both Terraform and Kwon liable for civil fraud, concluding they had misled investors and violated federal securities laws through fraudulent activities associated with Terraform securities.đ
đŽMeanwhile, Kwon remains involved in legal proceedings concerning his extradition to the U.S. or South Korea. He was arrested in Montenegro in March 2023 for using a counterfeit passport while trying to leave the country.
