Korea turns against Luna boss: Police want to freeze LFG funds

 


The UST stablecoin saga takes another turn and South Korea tightens the noose around Terra Forms and Luna CEO Do Kwon.


The 30-year-old Korean once described the UST stablecoin as “the oldest and most widely used algorithmic stablecoin ever”. Now, Kwon is being called to blame for the collapse of the $18 billion UST stablecoin network.


Late last week, South Korean prosecutors launched an official investigation into Terraform Labs. The move came after five Korean investors filed criminal complaints with losses totaling more than $1 million. Victims of the collapsed and battered crypto network Luna accused Kwon of fraud and violating financial regulations.


As Be[In] Crypto reported at the time, authorities wanted to charge the Luna leader with running a Ponzi scheme. The Anchor Protocol DeFi platform was heavily used by UST holders as it offered 20% returns on staking.


Today, Luna's story takes a new turn with the arrival of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency

On May 23, local media reported that South Korean police contacted the country's top crypto exchanges. Police asked to freeze all funds linked to the Luna Foundation Guard (LFG).


The report goes on to say that the police said there was evidence that funds related to the LFG could be linked to embezzlement. However, the request was not a demand and the exchanges reserve the right to trade as they see fit at the moment.

This week's police action is not related to the court investigation against the company's CEO.


Self -proclaimed Terra detective “FatMan” has been digging through the digital dirt and demanding more transparency about TerraForm Labs' monthly expenses. In response to Terra's Head of Operations and Community, Chris Amani, who claims to be working with the media to "provide accurate information ," FatMan said :


“Publishes the transaction logs, which the public is allowed to see. Explains where the money from Project Dawn went. Explains how you spent $300 million on transactions in one month. Less words, more financial evidence."


Donghwan Kim of Blitz Labs, a Seoul-based crypto consulting firm, said, “Do Kwon was a successful cult leader who is now the most hated man in Korea.”


Proposal for a Terra Genesis Chain

The official Terra Twitter feed posted on May 24 that the plan to restore the ailing ecosystem does not include a hard fork. Instead, a completely new blockchain is to be created. The post clarified that the important difference is that a forked blockchain shares its entire history with the original chain. However, this is not the case with Terra 2.0.


If the proposal (1623) is accepted, an entirely new Terra blockchain will be created. This starts with Genesis block 0 and has no common history with Terra Classic.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing. For this purpose, MSP Recovery launched its own LifeWallet in January, which already has 1 million users. In addition to the wallet and blockchain platform, an associated crypto token called LifeCoin is also used. The press release explains that the primary purpose of the system is to enable secondary healthcare providers to more effectively bill health insurance companies for their costs. “The number of medical claims tokenized going forward will surpass $50 million per day by 2024. For this we need scalability, security and sustainability, which we have only found with Polygon

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne
