U.S. to Appeal Montenegro's Decision on Do Kwon's Extradition

The legal battle over Terra founder Do Kwon's extradition intensifies as U.S. prosecutors challenge Montenegro's ruling in favor of South Korea.

  • U.S. prosecutors plan to challenge Montenegro's High Court decision to extradite Terra founder Do Kwon to South Korea, continuing the jurisdictional battle over his fate.
  • Montenegro's High Court ruled that Do Kwon could be extradited to South Korea upon completion of his jail sentence, overturning a previous decision favoring extradition to the U.S.

  • Kwon faces charges in both the U.S. and South Korea related to the collapse of Terra's ecosystem in 2022, potentially leading to decades in prison.
  • The legal tug-of-war highlights the global implications of the Terra collapse, affecting investors worldwide and sparking a bear market in the crypto industry.
