The fraud allegedly orchestrated by Do Kwon, the founder of the Terra (LUNA) ecosystem, may have affected over a million people worldwide.

The Terra (LUNA) Case

In 2023, Do Kwon was apprehended in Montenegro while attempting to travel with a fake passport. He was extradited to the U.S. following a local court decision. U.S. prosecutors state that he sustained his financial operation through fraud and manipulation, causing investors to incur losses exceeding $40 billion.

Victims of Terra

The U.S. authorities estimate that at least hundreds of thousands, potentially over a million, have been victims of Do Kwon's actions. These individuals purchased Terraform's cryptocurrencies either directly or through third parties.

Consequences and Regulation

The collapse of the Terra ecosystem caused significant turmoil in cryptocurrency markets. The case against Do Kwon sheds light on the role of technology in financial regulations and oversight shortcomings. The trial is expected to conclude by January 2026, and its decisions could provide important lessons for preventing similar situations in the future.

Do Kwon's fraud is a significant event for cryptocurrency markets and may influence future digital asset regulation.
