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.
