11 months into the 'Luna·Terra Coin' investigation, still shrouded in uncertainty.
While Do Kwon (32), the CEO of Terraform Labs and a key figure in the Terra-Luna coin crisis, has been arrested, the investigation into domestic accomplices has not progressed quickly. With the uncertainty surrounding Do Kwon's extradition to South Korea, arrest warrants for the accomplices requested by the prosecution have been repeatedly dismissed by the court. In the meantime, the prosecution has frozen assets related to the case, worth approximately 230 billion KRW, as part of their effort to seize criminal proceeds, and they are continuing supplementary investigations.

There has yet to be a domestic precedent that recognizes virtual assets as securities. As a result, some victims are demanding that 'Do Kwon be sent to the United States instead.' However, the prosecution argues that prosecuting Do Kwon in South Korea, where his accomplice Shin is located, would increase the likelihood of a conviction and be more favorable for victim compensation.
Pureun “Ian” Hong, a lawyer at Decent Law Firm, stated, "While there is no precedent in South Korea, the difference in how the U.S. and South Korea approach the issue of securities is not that significant." A representative from the Ministry of Justice also commented, "We are comprehensively working to ensure that the Montenegrin judicial authorities decide to extradite Do Kwon to South Korea."
