Terra (LUNA) Founder Do Kwon’s Prison Sentence Has Been Determined

Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon pleaded guilty in a US fraud case related to the $40 billion TerraUSD stablecoin crash in 2022. At a hearing in New York today, Kwon pleaded guilty to conspiracy and wire fraud charges in a deal with prosecutors. Appearing in court in his yellow prison uniform, he also agreed to pay a $19.3 million fine and forfeit some of his assets. “I conspired with others to defraud buyers of cryptocurrencies issued by Terraform Labs, and I did so knowingly. This was wrong, and I apologize for my actions. I accept full responsibility,” he said.

Under normal circumstances, the charges carry a total sentence of up to 25 years. Kwon was indicted in the US in 2023, captured in Montenegro with a fake passport after nearly two years on the run, and extradited to the US in January after being sentenced.
