Here's what we're serving up for you today:
Do Kwon’s converting illicit funds to Bitcoin
Nuclear-powered mine generates $6.49 million in Bitcoin in one month
South Korean prosecutors want Binance to stop Do Kwon from selling millions in crypto.
The news coming out of South Korea is deeply troubling. Prosecutors have uncovered 414.5 billion won in illicit assets linked to Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon and his associates, with a staggering 91.4 billion won directly linked to Kwon himself.
But what's even more concerning is that none of these assets are recoverable, as Kwon reportedly converted most of the funds into Bitcoin and stashed them away in overseas crypto exchanges. This means that Kwon may have effectively hidden his ill-gotten gains from authorities, leaving his victims without any hope of restitution.
To make matters worse, Kwon's alleged misdeeds have far-reaching consequences. The US Securities and Exchange Commission's investigation into the Terra collapse revealed that Kwon had siphoned off nearly $100 million worth of Bitcoin from the platform after it went bust. In addition, Kwon was accused of embezzling $80 million a month before the collapse, further highlighting the scale of his wrongdoing.
Despite an arrest warrant from South Korean authorities and an Interpol red notice against his name, Kwon was able to evade arrest for almost a year before being caught in Montenegro. This raises serious questions about the effectiveness of international law enforcement and the ease with which criminals can operate across borders.
Let's hope justice is served, and Kwon learns his lesson. And maybe next time, he'll stick to playing Monopoly instead of trying to be a real-life money mogul.
