Do Kwon and His Legal Struggles: Delays and Key Points

The criminal trial of Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon in the U.S., set for January 2025, is facing significant delays due to difficulties in accessing encrypted data and the necessity of translating materials from Korean.

Trial Delays and Data Challenges

During a hearing in Manhattan, lead prosecutor Jared Lenow noted that accessing critical data from the phones could cause delays. The phones, provided by Montenegrin authorities, contain encrypted data that is difficult to extract. Additionally, translating this data from Korean into English could further complicate the process. District Judge Paul Engelmayer acknowledged that scheduling the trial for 2025 is highly unusual.

Impact on Victims and Prosecution's Strategy

The case's complexity extends to the number of victims affected. Prosecutors estimate that the number of individuals harmed exceeds hundreds of thousands, potentially reaching over one million. The government proposed creating a public website to keep victims informed about the trial's progress. The prosecution claims Kwon misled investors by portraying Terraform Labs as a decentralized ecosystem.

Potential Consequences for Do Kwon and the Crypto Sector

The foundation of the case is the claim that Kwon deceived investors through manipulative means, falsely asserting control over the system. The crash of TerraUSD and Luna resulted in a $40 billion loss, which may impact not only Do Kwon but the cryptocurrency sector as a whole. The outcome of this trial could have substantial ramifications.

Do Kwon's trial in the U.S. comes with numerous challenges and could impact many victims while setting new precedents in the cryptocurrency sector. The results of this case will be a key marker for future regulatory decisions.
