Do Kwon sacou 10.000 Bitcoin (BTC), afirma a Comissão de Valores Mobiliários dos Estados Unidos (SEC) em sua reclamação. 

O fundador da Terra sacou 10.000 BTC via banco suíço: SEC

  • Do Kwon sacou 10.000 Bitcoin (BTC), afirma a Comissão de Valores Mobiliários dos Estados Unidos (SEC) em sua reclamação. 
  • Os 10.000 BTC foram vendidos em dinheiro pelo fundador do ecossistema Terra usando um banco suíço. 
  • The crypto entrepreneur cashed out more than $100 million worth of BTC between “June 2022 and the date of this complaint.”
  • Os 10.000 BTC foram transferidos de uma bolsa centralizada para um armazenamento a frio, onde esses tokens permaneceram inativos por um breve período de 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.

Conforme relatório da 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.”

É crucial observar que o regulador afirma que os 10.000 Bitcoins foram transferidos de uma bolsa centralizada para armazenamento frio, onde esses tokens permaneceram inativos por um breve período de tempo após o colapso da stablecoin TerraUSD. Curiosamente, a posse de Bitcoin começou a sair do armazenamento a frio no ano passado, afirma a SEC, acrescentando que um banco na Suíça foi usado para trocar o BTC por dinheiro. 

Conforme relatado anteriormente pela Bitnation, a SEC processou 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.”

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. 

Além disso, a localização de Kwon é desconhecida desde o ano passado e, conforme relatos, o empresário criptográfico foi em algum lugar na Sérvia 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.
