Do Kwon Likely to Miss SEC Trial Due to Extradition Delays
The Terraform Labs co-founder's extradition from Montenegro faces setbacks, complicating his attendance at the upcoming SEC fraud trial.
- Do Kwon, former CEO of Terraform Labs, is unlikely to attend the start of his SEC trial on March 25 due to extradition delays from Montenegro.
- Both the United States and South Korea have requested Kwon's extradition, with Kwon expressing a preference for South Korea.
- The extradition process has been prolonged by unanticipated errors in the Montenegrin legal system, including a high court ruling based on incorrect information regarding the sequence of extradition requests.
- Kwon's legal team has appealed the decision to extradite him to the US, further delaying the process.
- Kwon faces SEC fraud charges related to the collapse of Terraform Labs' Terra-Luna crypto project, which resulted in approximately $40 billion in investor losses.
