Do Kwon Wins Second Appeal Against Extradition in Montenegro

The Montenegro Court of Appeals has revoked the extradition order for Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon, marking a significant turn in the ongoing legal saga.

  • Do Kwon successfully wins a second appeal in Montenegro, preventing his extradition to the US or South Korea.
  • The appellate court cited 'significant violations' in the High Court's extradition order, including procedural issues and unclear reasoning.
  • Montenegrin authorities had previously extradited Terraform's CFO, Han Chang-joon, to South Korea, not facing charges in the US.
  • The SEC's trial against Kwon in the US was delayed until March due to the extradition hold up, with no further delays expected.
  • Kwon faces eight criminal charges in the US, including wire fraud and conspiracy, related to the collapse of Terraform Labs' stablecoin, TerraUSD.
