Prosecutors Demand Investigation into Terra Founders Do Kwon and Daniel Shin

South Korea’s Ministry of Justice has approved the request of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Joint Financial and Securities Crime Investigation Team to issue a “notification upon arrival” on Terra’s Do Kwon, reported local news media on July 27. Also, a “departure ban” on current and former executives of TerraForm Labs including co-founder Daniel Shin and former Vice President Kim Mo.

The notices will help the crime investigation team to further investigate Do Kwon upon his arrival from Singapore on fraud and money laundering allegations. Moreover, other executives will also be investigated in relation to TerraUSD (UST) and Terra (LUNA) collapse.

Furthermore, Do Kwon is accused of continuing to offer Terra (LUNA) tokens without informing investors about its investment risks. He is also required to attend the court proceedings on lawsuits filed against him by Terra investors.

Meanwhile, Daniel Shin has distanced himself from Do Kwon and Terra and put up a notice on his Chai app. Last week, the investigation team raided the home and offices of Daniel Shin in relation to the Terra-LUNA crash. Transaction records and documents related to TerraForm Labs were also collected in a search and seizure at 15 crypto companies. The crypto exchanges include Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and Gopax.
