Do Kwon, grundaren av Terra-ekosystemet, som kollapsade 2022 och genererade en serie kollapser av flera kryptoföretag, har mötts av tillsynsmyndigheter och investerares vrede runt om i världen, särskilt i USA och Sydkorea. Däremot har åklagarna i Schweiz officiellt beslagtagit olagliga tillgångar värda $26 miljoner som tillhör kryptoentreprenören, enligt lokala medier. 

Enligt a Rapportera 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.

Som tidigare rapporterats av Bitnation har Do Kwon satts i ett montenegrinskt fängelse för att ha försökt ta sig in i landet med förfalskade pass och resedokument. Samtidigt hävdade han i en domstolsförhandling nyligen att han visste inte att hans pass var falska, 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.
