☆ From $40 billion fraud to $4.5 billion settlement: Inside the latest crypto firm paying big bucks to end legal trouble
  + stars: | 2024-06-16 | by ( Mackenzie Sigalos | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +14 min
This week, a judge signed off on Do Kwon and his bankrupt Terraform Labs settling with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for $4.5 billion. This comes after a jury unanimously found Kwon and his company liable for securities fraud following less than two hours of deliberation. But investors piled in anyway, giving luna and UST a combined market value of almost $40 billion at one point. Terraform and Kwon fought our efforts to investigate – taking a fight over investigative subpoenas all the way to the Supreme Court. They are Caroline Ellison, the Alameda Research CEO who at one time dated Bankman-Fried; FTX engineering chief Nishad Singh; and Gary Wang, the co-founder and chief technology officer of FTX.

Luckily, Goldman hadn't filled the role, so I started working for them in November 2018. Working at Goldman Sachs would always be limitingI liked working as a trader at Goldman, but it wasn't fulfilling. I slowly realized that working for Goldman or any company, the end goal is limited to possibly being a partner. At the same time all this was happening, Luna Crypto, followed by the crypto market, crashed. AdvertisementThe crypto industry had been decimated, and I'd lost around two-thirds of my savings in cryptocurrency.

Photo: stringer/Agence France-Presse/Getty ImagesSEOUL—The South Korean prosecutor leading the investigation into crypto entrepreneur Do Kwon said he believes extraditing him to his native country would be the best way to bring justice to victims of the TerraUSD cryptocurrency crash, which wiped out some $40 billion from digital currency markets. South Korea is vying with U.S. prosecutors to extradite Mr. Kwon from Montenegro, where he has been detained since March, and charge him in connection with the failed TerraUSD and Luna cryptocurrencies. Mr. Kwon, who is a South Korean citizen, was the co-founder of Terraform Labs, the company behind the two failed cryptocurrencies.

Do Kwon was arrested in Montenegro last month. Photo: boris pejovic/ShutterstockLawyers for crypto entrepreneur Do Kwon asked a judge to throw out a U.S. regulator’s lawsuit accusing him of fraud in connection with last year’s $40 billion collapse of the TerraUSD and Luna cryptocurrencies. In a Friday evening court filing, Mr. Kwon’s lawyers said the Securities and Exchange Commission exceeded its authority when it sued him and his company, Terraform Labs Pte. Ltd., and failed to prove that they had defrauded U.S. investors.
