Il fondatore di Terra ha incassato 10K BTC tramite Swiss Bank: SEC

• Do Kwon ha incassato 10.000 Bitcoin (BTC), sostiene la Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) degli Stati Uniti nella sua denuncia. 
• I 10.000 BTC sono stati venduti in contanti dal fondatore dell'ecosistema Terra utilizzando una banca svizzera. 
• The crypto entrepreneur cashed out more than $100 million worth of BTC between “June 2022 and the date of this complaint.”
• I 10.000 BTC sono stati trasferiti da un exchange centralizzato a un cold storage dove questi token sono rimasti dormienti per un breve periodo di tempo.

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.

Secondo un rapporto di 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.”

È fondamentale notare che il regolatore afferma che i 10.000 Bitcoin sono stati trasferiti da un exchange centralizzato a un cold storage, dove questi token sono rimasti dormienti per un breve periodo di tempo dopo il crollo della stablecoin TerraUSD. È interessante notare che l'azienda Bitcoin ha iniziato a spostarsi dal cold storage l'anno scorso, afferma la SEC aggiungendo che una banca in Svizzera è stata utilizzata per scambiare il BTC con denaro contante. 

Come riportato in precedenza da Bitnation, la SEC ha citato in giudizio Do Kwon e 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.”

Oggi abbiamo accusato Terraform Labs PTE Ltd e Do Hyeong Kwon, con sede a Singapore, di aver orchestrato una frode multimiliardaria in titoli di criptovalute che coinvolgeva una stablecoin algoritmica e altri titoli di criptovalute.

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. 

Inoltre, la posizione di Kwon è sconosciuta dallo scorso anno e, secondo i rapporti, l'imprenditore di criptovalute lo era da qualche parte in Serbia 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.
