Do Kwon, the former CEO of Terra was earlier detained by Montenegro police authorities at the Montenegro airport, it is believed that if the officials have not arrested him, he might have fled to some other nation.
The official seized a doctored Costa Rican passport, a separate set of Belgian passports, laptop and other items in his luggage. Before the collapse of Terraform labs, Do Kwon was among the leading crypto moguls.
The Terra Demise
Terraform Labs launched its algorithmic stablecoin in September 2020, which was pegged to the United States dollar. Both the cryptocurrencies of the ecosystem failed due to constant outsized sell-offs by investors.
This event led to a sudden decline in prices and over Billions of dollars went out of the market in just a couple of days. The SEC charged Do Kwon and his company Terraform Labs with securities fraud for creating a fraudulent scheme that resulted in investors losing billions.
