Do Kwon Pleads Not Guilty To Allegations of Using Fake Passport

Do Kwon Denies Charges

Kwon had been on the run for a number of months after the failure of his TerraUSD stablecoin, which was more commonly known as UST, in May of last year. The Terra debacle sparked a criminal investigation as it wiped out almost $45 billion from the crypto market and led to a chain reaction that forced some businesses to either shut down or file for bankruptcy.

Branko Andjelic, their defense attorney, suggested releasing them on bond for 400,000 euros ($437,240) apiece, but prosecutor Haris Sabotic vehemently opposed it, claiming that the two have abundant financial resources but have no desire to remain in Montenegro. In addition to at least one passport issued by their home country of South Korea, the two individuals were caught carrying travel documents from Belgium and Costa Rica, according to the officials there.

According to reports published by Bloomberg, Interpol and Montenegro both agreed that the passports from Belgium and Costa Rica were found to be forged in some way. However, the defendants argued in court that the Costa Rican passports they attempted to use were in fact legitimate documents.

Kwon’s Growing Troubles

Not just Montenegro and South Korea, but even US prosecutors have filed charges against Do Kwon. They have accused him of masterminding a fraudulent scheme involving cryptocurrencies that lasted for years and resulted in the loss of at least $40 billion in market value.

Both nations are currently requesting Kwon’s extradition, while Montenegrin officials have remained blunt on their stance of retaining the crypto founder until all local criminal proceedings are completed against him. According to Montenegrin legislation, using false documents is a punishable offense of up to five years in jail. The next hearing is slated to be on June 16.

Bitcoin Faces Deep Correction Amid 2022 Bear Market Vibes, Warns Analyst

Image
Bitcoin’s (BTC) recent price behavior, according to a trader who excellently rode the cryptocurrency breakthrough earlier this year, is eerily similar to its terrible downturn from the previous year.

Every time the stock market rises, the trader notes that Bitcoin’s poor performance makes him...
