In the latest development in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit against Terraform Labs (Terra) and co-founder Do Kwon, a federal judge has denied multiple motions for reconsidering earlier orders. The judge has again sided with the plaintiff U.S. SEC after a recent order stating that Terra and Do Kwon violated the Securities Act.
Court Denies Motions for Reconsideration
According to a court filing late January 11, Judge Jed S. Rakoff granted an order in favor of the U.S. SEC denying motions for reconsideration filed by Terraform Labs and Do Kwon. The judge found the reasons stated by the SEC in its responses to defendants’ motions for reconsideration valid.
Terra and Do Kwon requested the court to reconsider the earlier order denying the opinions of expert Raj Unny regarding discovery and summary judgment. Terra and Do Kwon also requested the court to reconsider Dr. Matthew Edman in the case.
However, the defendants’ motions for reconsideration of the Court’s rulings under Federal Rule of Evidence 702 regarding Dr. Matthew Edman and Mr. Raj Unny are denied by the court. The judge sided with the SEC due to the Daubert Hearing, email exchange, and interlocutory responses evidence.
