Following the collapse of TerraUSD and Terra LUNA, South Korean authorities have banned the project’s main designers from leaving the country.
- Local media, JTBC reported that the Seoul Southern District Prosecutor Office’s Joint Financial and Securities Crime Investigation Team have imposed bans on key developers including one, Mr. A.
- Mr. A described in an interview with the media that Terra founder, Do Kwon, had “made enough money to buy an island”, a majority of this money coming from the private sale of LUNA to institutions. Prosecutors are investigating if funds raised in this way made for artificial ‘market price adjustment’.
- The prosecution could also lead to a forced investigation including search and seizure and ‘summoning by lines’ of officials. Although, JTBC states that the compulsory investigation of key management including Do Kwon himself may take some time
