Do Kwon, the fallen crypto kingpin who oversaw the catastrophic $40 billion collapse of two digital currencies final 12 months, was arrested in Montenegro on Thursday and slapped with contemporary fraud expenses within the US.

Kwon, the 31-year-old co-founder of Terraform Labs, was apprehended on the airport within the Balkan nation’s capital of Podgorica whereas trying to board a flight to Dubai.

Native police mentioned Kwon and a second suspect – <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-23/do-kwon-charged-with-fraud-by-us-prosecutors-in-new-york" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-vars-href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-23/do-kwon-charged-with-fraud-by-us-prosecutors-in-new-york">identified by Bloomberg as</a> Terraform CFO Han Chang Joon – have been carrying solid Costa Rican and Belgian passports on the time of their arrests.

It’s unclear if Montenegrin police arrested Kwon on the behest of the US Justice Division.

The feds unveiled a slate of eight expenses towards him, together with fraud and market manipulation, associated to the gorgeous wipeout of the TerraUSD stablecoin and its interlinked sister cryptocurrency, Luna, final 12 months.

The indictment alleges that Kwon deceived traders and prospects with false and deceptive statements about Terra’s know-how and product choices.

Kwon had touted TerraUSD, the worth of which was pegged to the US greenback, as a steady different to extra unstable cryptocurrencies. However the worth of each TerraUSD and free-floating Luna cratered final Might after a sudden disaster of confidence led traders to dump their holdings.

The circumstances that led to the collapse are nonetheless unclear.

Kwon’s arrest comes as US authorities crack down on alleged unhealthy actors within the crypto sector following a sequence of high-profile incidents that harm public traders.

The downfall of TerraUSD and Luna contributed to a domino impact that has worn out varied different cryptocurrency entities during the last 12 months – together with disgraced Sam Bankman-Fried’s doomed platform, FTX.

Since late final 12 months, the feds have investigated whether or not <a target="_blank" href="https://nypost.com/2022/12/08/ftxs-sam-bankman-fried-faces-market-manipulation-probe-over-luna-cryptocurrency-crash/" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-vars-href="https://nypost.com/2022/12/08/ftxs-sam-bankman-fried-faces-market-manipulation-probe-over-luna-cryptocurrency-crash/">Bankman-Fried engaged in illicit trading activity</a> to drive down the costs of TerraUSD and Luna, the New York Occasions reported in December.

Simply earlier than their crash, merchants reportedly observed “a flood of promote orders” for TerraUSD that “overwhelmed the system” and contributed to their speedy implosion.
