In a recent interview, Terra founder Do Kwon claimed he isn’t planning to return to South Korea. Moreover, South Korean authorities haven’t contacted him or filed any charges against him. However, authorities and courts have summoned Do Kwon, Daniel Shin, and other Terra executives for investigation and court proceedings.
Prosecutors’ Joint Financial and Securities Crime Investigation Team have collected transaction records and other evidences in relation to the Terra-LUNA crash and fraud allegations against Kwon and affiliates. Moreover, several class actions and lawsuits are awaiting Do Kwon’s appearance in courts.
The investigation team has issued a “notification upon arrival” notice to Do Kwon. Also, “travel ban” notices to Terra executives such as Daniel Shin and Kim Mo.
He has also denied the fraud and money laundering allegations against him. He said:
“I am responsible for the weaknesses in which the short selling forces would have benefited.”
Terra Founder Promises to be Completely Honest
Terra’s founder claimed he will be completely honest with the authorities and courts. He will coordinate with investigators and share facts related to the Terra-LUNA crash.
Several class action lawsuits have been filed against Terra, Do Kwon, and affiliates in the U.S. In fact, Terra insider “FatMan” is also joining a U.S. class action lawsuit against Terra and its executives.
