Terraform Labs and Do Kwon Reach Tentative Settlement with SEC

Settlement follows civil fraud verdict and could lead to significant penalties for the collapse of TerraUSD and LUNA.

  • Court filings reveal the agreement in principle, with documents due by June 12.
  • The SEC initially sought a $5.3 billion penalty, its largest ever for a crypto case.
  • The collapse of TerraUSD and LUNA in 2022 led to $40 billion in losses and a prolonged 'crypto winter'.
  • Do Kwon also faces criminal charges in both the U.S. and South Korea.
  • Kwon is currently out on bail in Montenegro, awaiting extradition.
