Do Kwon pleads not guilty to US fraud charges in US$40 billion crypto collapse

SCMP

Do Kwon, the South Korean cryptocurrency entrepreneur behind two digital currencies that lost an estimated US$40 billion in 2022, pleaded not guilty on Thursday to US criminal fraud charges after being extradited from Montenegro this week.

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan on Thursday unsealed a nine-count indictment charging Kwon, who co-founded Singapore-based Terraform Labs and developed the TerraUSD and Luna currencies, with securities fraud, wire fraud, commodities fraud and money laundering conspiracy.

Kwon, 33, wore an olive green long-sleeved shirt and black sweatpants as his lawyer Andrew Chesley entered the plea at a hearing before US Magistrate Judge Robert Lehrburger in Manhattan federal court.
