Terraform Labs: South Korea issues arrest warrants for former Do Kwon colleagues



 South Korea has requested arrest warrants for Terraform Labs co-founder Daniel Shin, three investors and four engineers responsible for the TerraUSD and LUNA initiatives.


While the ongoing manhunt for Terraform Labs co-founder and CEO Do Kwon is still ongoing, prosecutors have issued an arrest warrant for co-founder Daniel Shin and seven other engineers and investors in the company after they were suspected of pre-Terra's massive collapse -Economists to have made illegal profits.


Prosecutors of the South District of Seoul in South Korea suspected that Shin owned Terra tokens that were pre-issued without the investors' public knowledge. Shin is said to have bagged 140 billion won (about 105 million USD) worth of profits by selling the pre-issued tokens during the bull market.


Arrest warrants have also been requested for three Terraform Labs investors and four engineers. You are responsible for the TerraUSD and LUNA initiatives. This was confirmed by the local news outlet Yonhap News Agency. On November 19, South Korean authorities seized over $104 million worth of assets from Shin on the same suspicion of making unfair profits.


At the time, Sin's attorney maintained the counter-statement that reports that CEO Shin Hyun-seong Luna sold at a peak and made profits, or that he made profits through other illegal methods are untrue.


Against the warrant, Shin said:


"I left (Terraform Labs) two years before the collapse of Terra and Luna and have nothing to do with the collapse."


The confiscation of the funds served the purpose of minimizing further losses for investors if Shin decided to sell them. While Kwon claims not to be on the run, 4,000 members of a retail investor group are attempting to trace his whereabouts.


On October 6, the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs ordered Kwon to surrender his passport, which could result in his passport being permanently canceled. The deadline has since expired.


A local report from South Korea claimed that prosecutors obtained evidence of Kwon's order to manipulate the price of Luna Classic. So far, Terraform Labs has denied all allegations.


According to unconfirmed reports, Kwon moved to Singapore from South Korea before eventually fleeing to Dubai.

Cardano price forecast – price breaks out! Are we near $1.5 soon?

 In our last Cardano price prediction , we wrote that the price could break out soon. The reason for this was a symmetrical triangle. This triangle was performed after the crash, so we expected the price to break down. But now the course has broken out of the triangle in a bullish manner. But how far could the course rise or what is the goal? Today we will explain to you about the Cardano course ! Cardano price broke out of the triangle and was able to rally to the $1.19 resistance. We tested this resistance, and a short time later the price was sold off. The triangle's target was around $1.23, so we now believe the price has completed the target. As a result, we no longer expect a further increase. Instead, the price could now descend and possibly form new lows. If the price breaks the $1.19 resistance, the price could rally to around $1.5. There is the next resistance where the Cardano price could bounce. If Cardano price fails to break the $1.19 resistance, we would expect the p...

Cardano founder doubts Bitcoin's future as world reserve currency

  Cardano's founder doesn't believe Bitcoin has what it takes to become the world's leading currency. Charles Hoskinson stated in a recent interview that he didn't think Bitcoin would become the world reserve currency. According to the founder of Cardano, a cryptocurrency with smart contract features would become the global reserve currency. Hoskinson believes Cardano or Ethereum would become the world reserve currency. A global reserve currency must offer services like smart contracts, metadata standards, and improved throughput that complete enormous transactions per second. According to the Cardano founder , the scarcity of Bitcoin is due to the high cost of production: "If you make paintings, one of which you have to paint by hand and the other by machine, and both look the same and the demand for both is the same, then the effort for one is a thousand times greater than for the other." Hoskinson spoke about Bitcoin's massive energy consumption, addin...
