It has been revealed that Terra (LUNA) founder Do Kwon made preparations to take measures against Terra’s collapse.
Preparations Made for Terra’s Collapse!
South Korean prosecutors confirmed that Do Kwon, CEO of Terraform Labs, sent 9 billion won (7 million dollars) to Kim & Chang, one of South Korea’s leading law firms, just before the collapse of the Terra ecosystem.
Kwon’s decision to send millions of won to the law firm was marked by prosecutors as an intentional move and evaluated as an action to be aware of the impending collapse and take precautions against expected legal problems.
This information is thought to help the ongoing fraud case. In addition, it was reported that lawyers from Kim & Chang visited Montenegro to meet with Kwon and Han Chang-joon, Terraform’s former chief financial officer.
No Result Yet for Kwon’s Extradition Request
Previously, Kwon was arrested at Podgorica airport in Montenegro for attempting to travel to Dubai using fake documents. Following his arrest, both US and South Korean authorities requested Kwon’s extradition. However, the court has not yet made a decision.
