Prosecutors in Montenegro strongly opposed the decision to grant bail to the co-founder of collapsed LUNA token. Earlier this week, the court released Do Kwon on $440,000 bail.
Earlier on March 23, 2023, Kwon was detained by the Montenegrin police officials at Podgorica airport. He was charged for using forged documents, including passports and driving licenses.
The Interpol department confirmed the information about detaining the TerraUSD co-founder. More than five nations were constantly working hard to trace Do, but multiple times he succeeded in flying from one country to another.
According to recent information from numerous media outlets, district lawyers of Podgorica Montenegro had appealed against the court’s decision to release Do Kwon and his associate on bail.
It is important to note that both the TerraUSD founder and associate need to pay $440,000 individually to the court to fulfill the bail agreement. Some viral rumors state that Do and Chang-Joon might shift to an apartment owned by a local lawyer.
Repercussions of Do Kwon’s Bail
It is easy to assume that the bail of Kwon will give birth to hundreds of discussions in the crypto market. After the unprecedented failure of TerraUSD, Kwon was on the radar of financial authorities globally.
As per a leading crypto lawyer, Kwon may face 40 years of jail if found guilty in Asian countries, and the punishment may be more severe, varying the charges and documents presented in the court.
Most recently, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been granted permission to access Luna Foundation Guard records held in the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) custody. The regulators claim that incepting the records might hint at Do’s involvement in Luna Collapse.
