Do Kwon in US custody, South Korean president impeached: Law Decoded

Do Kwon, Terraform Labs co-founder, was extradited to the US by Montenegro, bypassing South Korea’s petition.

Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon was handed over to United States law enforcement by authorities in Montenegro after a months-long battle over where he would be extradited.

Montenegrin Prime Minister Milojko Spajić said in a Dec. 31 X post that Kwon was in US custody and would face criminal charges in the case involving the collapse of Terra.

Kwon’s handover to the US occurred four days after the Montenegrin Justice Minister Bojan Božović approved the extradition, rejecting a petition from South Korea, despite Kwon holding citizenship and facing charges there.

Montenegro halts Do Kwon’s extradition again ahead of appeal ruling

Do Kwon’s extradition has been delayed again, to the surprise of the Justice Ministry.

The Constitutional Court of Montenegro suspended the extradition of former Terraform Labs founder and CEO Do Kwon on Oct. 18, according to local press reports. A day earlier, the Montenegrin Justice Ministry had said a decision on Kwon’s extradition had been made and it promised to make the decision public on Oct. 20.

The decision on Kwon’s extradition, including Kwon’s destination, was entrusted to the Justice Ministry by the Supreme Court in September. Both the United States and South Korea have requested his extradition.

Terraform wallet moves $62M BTC as Do Kwon remains in legal limbo

Awaiting extradition to either the US or South Korea, Do Kwon could have had access to the Terraform Labs wallet containing more than 1,075 BTC.

A wallet reportedly associated with Terraform Labs and one of its co-founders, Do Kwon, has moved $62 million worth of Bitcoin to a different address.

According to data from blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence, on Sept. 2, Terraform moved more than 1,075 Bitcoin (BTC) — roughly $62 million at the time of publication — from one of its wallets. It’s unclear if Kwon, currently awaiting extradition from Montenegro, was responsible for the transfer.

The Terra ecosystem collapsed in 2022, with authorities from the United States and South Korea filing charges against Kwon and some of his associates for their alleged role in the platform’s downfall. In 2023, Kwon was arrested in Montenegro on unrelated charges and sentenced to four months in prison.

Montenegrin court delays Do Kwon’s extradition to South Korea

The Terraform Labs co-founder has been in Montenegro since his arrest in 2023, potentially facing extradition to either his native South Korea or the United States.

Montenegro’s Supreme Court has reportedly postponed Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon’s extradition after upholding a ruling suggesting he would be removed to South Korea.

According to an Aug. 8 report from Montenegrin news outlet Vijesti, the country’s Supreme Court granted prosecutors’ request to delay Kwon’s extradition to South Korea until the court could rule on a matter concerning the protection of legality. Prosecutors filed the motion on Aug. 2 after an appellate court upheld a previous ruling allowing the Terraform co-founder’s extradition.

After Terra collapsed in 2022, Kwon’s whereabouts were largely unknown, though he remained active on social media. Montenegrin authorities arrested him in March 2023 for using falsified travel documents while attempting to leave the country.
