• Die 10.000 BTC wurden vom Gründer des Terra-Ökosystems über eine Schweizer Bank gegen Bargeld verkauft. 
• The crypto entrepreneur cashed out more than $100 million worth of BTC between “June 2022 and the date of this complaint.”

Do Kwon, the founder of Terraform Labs, the organization responsible for the maintenance and development of the TerraUSD stablecoin (now USTC) and the Terra (now Terra Classic) token, or LUNC, had cashed out almost 10,000 Bitcoin (BTC), the world’s biggest crypto coin, according to a complaint filed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The regulator has recently started cracking down on crypto firms.

Laut einem Bericht von Bloomberg, Kwon made use of an unnamed Swiss bank to cash out over 10,000 BTC. The SEC states in its complaint on Feb. 16 that after the collapse of the Terra ecosystem, which was Kwon’s brainchild, the crypto entrepreneur cashed out more than $100 million worth of BTC between “June 2022 and the date of this complaint.”

Es ist wichtig anzumerken, dass die Regulierungsbehörde behauptet, dass die 10.000 Bitcoin von einer zentralen Börse in ein Kühllager überführt wurden, wo diese Token für eine kurze Zeit nach dem Zusammenbruch der Stablecoin TerraUSD ruhten. Interessanterweise begann die Bitcoin-Beteiligung im vergangenen Jahr mit dem Umzug aus dem Cold Storage, behauptet die SEC und fügt hinzu, dass eine Bank in der Schweiz verwendet wurde, um die BTC gegen Bargeld einzutauschen. 

Wie bereits von Bitnation berichtet, Die SEC verklagte Do Kwon und Terraform Labs claiming that the two together operated a fraudulent scheme and offered and sold an “inter-connected suite of crypto asset securities, many in unregistered transactions.” The regulator noted in the complaint that Kwon orchestrated “a multi-billion dollar crypto asset securities fraud” via the Terra stablecoin ecosystem. 

 “We allege that Terraform and Do Kwon failed to provide the public with full, fair, and truthful disclosure as required for a host of crypto asset securities, most notably for LUNA and Terra USD,” said SEC Chair Gary Gensler. “We also allege that they committed fraud by repeating false and misleading statements to build trust before causing devastating losses for investors.”

The Terra ecosystem collapsed in the month of May last year when the popularity of the LUNA (now LUNC) token peaked along with its TVL. Moreover, many institutions also had exposure to Do Kwon’s crypto coin and ecosystem. Interestingly, the collapse of the ecosystem led to many crypto firms losing a significant portion of their wealth, and some even filed for bankruptcy. 

Darüber hinaus ist der Standort von Kwon seit letztem Jahr unbekannt und Berichten zufolge war der Krypto-Unternehmer Irgendwo in Serbien and South Korean prosecutors said that, “We are continuing efforts to locate Kwon, and it’s difficult to confirm anything related to the investigation at this stage.”

“As alleged in our complaint, the Terraform ecosystem was neither decentralized, nor finance. It was simply a fraud propped up by a so-called algorithmic “stablecoin” – the price of which was controlled by the defendants, not any code,” said Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement.
