Terraform Labs Former CFO Extradited to South Korea

Han Chang-joon, former CFO of Terraform Labs, has been extradited from Montenegro to South Korea to face multiple fraud charges.

  • Han Chang-joon was extradited following the completion of his four-month prison sentence in Montenegro for attempting to travel using forged documents.
  • He faces charges in South Korea related to fraud in financial investment services, investments, and the capital market, with a potential life sentence.
  • The extradition was carried out at the request of South Korea, following a decision by Montenegro's Ministry of Justice.
  • Do Kwon, Terraform Labs co-founder, remains in custody in Montenegro, with his extradition to either the U.S. or South Korea still pending.
  • The charges against Han and Kwon relate to the collapse of the Terra ecosystem in May 2022, which led to significant losses in the crypto market.
