Terra Luna: Founder Do Kwon sued for $78 million

 


The news surrounding the "fall" of Terra Luna doesn't let up. Terraform Labs, the company behind the Terra blockchain, and Do Kwon are now facing a slew of lawsuits from tax authorities, users, and investors alike.


According to local reports , the South Korean tax authority first launched an investigation into Terraform Labs (the company behind Terra) and its subsidiaries in June last 2021. The reason was the suspicion of tax evasion.


At that time, the investigation showed that the company's subsidiaries were registered abroad. However, the place of actual administration was in South Korea. Therefore, under South Korean law, these companies are considered taxable to the government. 


As a result, the tax authorities already fined Terra 's subsidiaries 44.7 billion won (US$34.7 million) in corporate income tax and 4.66 billion won (US$3.6 million) in income tax last October .


According to the report, in December last year, Do Kwon planned to liquidate the company's headquarters and settle overseas. However, this was unsuccessful due to the fall of Luna.


Lawsuits against Terra Luna are piling up

During the TerraUSD drama, Terraform Labs sent $LUNA to the Foundation Guard (LFG) to reimburse losses suffered by Anchor. The tax authorities saw this as suspicious and suspected tax evasion.


Now Terraform Labs, as well as Do Kwon and other co-founders, have been fined 100 billion won by the South Korean tax authorities. That's the equivalent of around 78 million US dollars. The reason for the lawsuit is tax evasion. 


All of this is happening amid the planned rebuilding of the Terra ecosystem. While some users are showing hope and optimism, others are taking the authorities route. 


Another Korean group calling itself "Victims of Luna" is also planning to file a class action lawsuit against Terraform Labs and co-founder Do Kwon. The reason for this is fraud and illegal crowdfunding. Expect more such lawsuits to be filed in the near future.


The $78 million tax fine came less than 24 hours after reports emerged that Korean investors were filing criminal and civil lawsuits against Do Kwon.


It was recently revealed that Do Kwon already launched a failed stablecoin in the past . This stablecoin was called Basis Cash and now trades for under a cent. One can only hope that Terra Luna and TerraUSD do not have to share the same fate.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
