South Korea Escalates Fraud Investigation on Do Kwon and TerraForm Labs

South Korea and the U.S. investigations teams had earlier agreed to share details on their investigations into Do Kwon and the Terra-LUNA collapse.

In fact, South Korea’s investigation team raided 15 crypto companies and exchanges, as well as, the home and offices of TerraForm Labs co-founder Daniel Shin last week, escalating investigations into fraud allegations against Do Kwon and TerraForm Labs.

The fresh round of investigations has pushed Terra’s USTC and LUNC prices downwards, which were rising continuously due to community-led token burning.
