Prosecutors Raid 7 Korean Exchanges Amid Terra Probe: Report
Seven exchanges and eight other addresses have been raided in connection to the Terraform Labs fraud investigation.
Seven cryptocurrency exchanges in South Korea have been raided by prosecutors probing a fraud case in connection with the collapse of algorithmic stablecoin terraUSD (UST) and LUNA, according to Yonhap News Agency.

- Investigators are now seizing material from the raids in order to ascertain whether Terraform Labs founder Do Kwon is guilty of intentionally causing the collapse of UST and LUNA.
- In May, Korean police moved to freeze Terraform Labs' assets to prevent the company from embezzling funds that may be considered fraudulent.
