While this could be a completely innocent transaction for consulting services, the recent actions of Do Kwon to remove any association of himself to Kernel Labs makes the transaction appear suspicious.<\/p>\n<p>The Korean news outlet KBS used a pseudonym for Kernel Labs, calling it &#8220;company K. However, there are references to Kernel Labs several times alongside Terraform Labs, suggesting it is the company in question.<\/p>\n<p>The official identity of the company, as reported by KBS, cannot be confirmed at this time, but Kernel Labs will be cited according to the allegations of our sources.
