US SEC charges Terra founder Do Kwon with fraud

Kwon founded blockchain platform Terraform Labs and was the primary developer of two cryptocurrencies whose demise roiled crypto markets around the world last year. The SEC filing did not say where Kwon was living. According to the SEC’s complaint, Terraform Labs and Kwon misled investors about the stability of UST, and claimed that the firm’s crypto tokens would increase in value. Terraform Labs did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Globally, investors in TerraUSD and Luna lost an estimated $42 billion, according to blockchain analytics firm Elliptic.
Do Kwon, co-founder and chief executive officer of Terraform Labs, insists that he is not on the run from South Korean authorities. Meanwhile, South Korean prosecutors claim that Interpol has issued a "Red Notice" for the arrest of Kwon. On Tuesday, a spokesperson for the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office in South Korea's capital city told CNBC that global law enforcement agency Interpol has issued a "Red Notice" for Kwon. Kwon also said he does not see his name on Interpol's "Red Notice" list. Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office sees Kwon as still being on the run, the spokesperson told CNBC.
Scammers have reportedly been calling people to ask for financial details under the pretext of "contact tracing" — the process of identifying those with close contact with infected patients. Singapore has set up teams working to call people and establish if anyone has had prolonged physical contact with coronavirus patients. As of Thursday noon, Singapore confirmed 58 known cases of the coronavirus strain, recently named the COVID-19. "MOH is conducting contact tracing to identify individuals who had close contact with the confirmed cases of novel coronavirus. Please note that we do not ask for any financial details during our call to you," said the health authority.
