Do Kwon, el fundador del ecosistema Terra, que colapsó en 2022 y generó una serie de colapsos de múltiples criptoempresas, se ha enfrentado a la ira de los reguladores e inversores de todo el mundo, particularmente en Estados Unidos y Corea del Sur. Sin embargo, los fiscales de Suiza han incautado oficialmente activos ilícitos por valor de $26 millones pertenecientes al criptoempresario, según los medios de comunicación locales. 

De acuerdo a un reporte from Digital Asset, Switzerland’s Federal Prosecutor has reportedly seized about 34 billion won ($26 million) worth of assets belonging to Do Kwon, which were kept in the digital asset bank “Signum” in Zurich, the largest city in Switzerland. The assets consist of digital assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), as well as fiat currency, and were seized on the request of the New York Federal Prosecutors’ Office and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

It is crucial to note that Signum calls itself the first “digital asset bank in the world” and was opened in Switzerland and Singapore in 2017. The bank also opened a hub in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). 

Moreover, the assets seized by Swiss prosecutors belong to Do Kwon, along with former Chai Corporation CEO Chang-joon Han, former head of Terraform Labs’ research team Nicholas Platias, and the Terraform Labs Corporation. The local reports noted that “the size of the frozen assets is almost twice the size of the assets recently disclosed to foreign media by South Korean prosecutors.”

“Kwon and accomplices have more than $13 million (about 16.96 billion won) in funds in Signum,” Dan Sung Han, head of the Financial Securities Crime Division at the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office, said in an interview with Bloomberg on June 8.

Como informó anteriormente Bitnation, Do Kwon fue encarcelado en Montenegro por intentar ingresar al país utilizando pasaportes y documentos de viaje falsificados. Mientras tanto, en una audiencia judicial reciente, afirmó que no sabía que sus pasaportes eran falsos, adding that he got them from a “Chinese agency.” 

Do Kwon and Chong-joon have been jailed in Spuž, due to something called “extradition detention” and will remain behind bars until the judge decides where they will be extradited.
