Corea del Sur emite orden de arresto contra exejecutivo de Terra
- Se desconoce el paradero del fundador de Terra, Do Kwon. Pero corre el rumor de que ahora reside en Dubai.
- Los fiscales de Corea del Sur creen que los ejecutivos de Terra manipularon el mercado para enriquecerse.
- A principios de año, Do Kwon y Terra eran dos de los jugadores más importantes del mercado.
Authorities in South Korea have continued their pursuit of Terra founder Do Kwon and have now extended their search to other Terra executives. Prosecutors in Korea have reportedly filed an arrest warrant for Terra co-founder Daniel Shin and seven more engineers and investors of the company on the grounds that they may have made illicit profits prior to the catastrophic collapse of Terra in May.
La Fiscalía del Distrito Sur de Seúl en Corea del Sur tenía motivos para creer que Shin estaba en posesión de tokens Terra (LUNA) preemitidos, de los cuales no se notificó a los inversores. De esta manera, según los informes, Shin vendió los tokens preemitidos durante el mercado alcista y obtuvo ganancias de 140 mil millones de wones, o alrededor de $105 millones.
South Korean authorities recently confiscated Shin’s assets worth more than $104 million under claims of financial wrongdoing. Prosecutors claim the funds were seized to prevent further damages to investors in case the Terra co-founder tried to liquidate the assets. However, Shin denied such allegations, noting that he left Terra two years before its collapse and had nothing to do with its downfall.
According to local media outlet YAgencia de noticias onhap, también se emitieron órdenes de arresto contra tres inversionistas de Terraform Labs y cuatro de los ingenieros que trabajan en los proyectos TerraUSD (UST) y LUNA. Mientras tanto, Do Kwon, el principal culpable de la historia de Terra, se ha mantenido fuera del alcance de los fiscales.
Si bien afirma no estar escondido, su paradero have remained a mystery to prosecutors. Unverified reports claim that Kwon first resided in Singapore before relocating to Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Last month, Kwon was ordered by the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hand over his passport, However, the deadline for submission has since passed.
