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.
