Montenegro extradites Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon to US

PODGORICA – Montenegro on Dec 31 extradited Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon to the United States, where he faces charges of having deceived investors about the stability of the TerraUSD cryptocurrency and how an app used the Terraform blockchain.

Kwon was handed over to US law enforcement officers and agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) at Podgorica airport, Montenegro’s interior ministry said in a statement.

Kwon denies wrongdoing.

The South Korean national is the former chief executive officer of South Korea-based Terraform Labs, the company behind the TerraUSD, a “stablecoin” designed to maintain a constant US$1 price, which collapsed in May 2022, roiling cryptocurrency markets.

Kwon, who was arrested in March 2023 while attempting to leave Montenegro, is also wanted by South Korea.

Last week, Montenegrin Justice Minister Bojan Bozovic ordered Kwon’s extradition to the US after the Supreme Court ruled all legal conditions were fulfilled.

The Justice Ministry said it had concluded that most legal criteria favoured the US’ request for extradition. His lawyers said they had appealed against Mr Bozovic’s decision at the Constitutional Court.

Kwon and his company Terraform Labs were sued by the US Securities and Exchange Commission in February 2023 over the TerraUSD and Luna cryptocurrencies, which authorities have said caused about US$40 billion (S$54 billion) of losses in crypto markets.

A stablecoin is a digital asset that aims to keep a stable price. Usually pegged to a currency, they are intended to be less volatile than other cryptocurrencies. REUTERS
