The SEC described the incident as a massive deception that wiped out tens of billions in market value almost overnight.<\/p>\n<p>The SEC had sought significant financial penalties, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/sec-seeking-5-3-billion-in-fines-from-terraform-labs-do-kwon\/\">relinquishment of $5.3 billion<\/a> in profits deemed ill-gotten and fines totaling $520 million for Terraform Labs and Kwon.<\/p>\n<p>However, Kwon and his company argued that the maximum fines allowable were significantly lower, at $3.5 million for Terraform Labs and less than $1 million for Kwon.<\/p>\n<h2>Kwon's imprisonment<\/h2>\n<p>Kwon, who faces related criminal charges in both the US and South Korea, has denied any wrongdoing. He was arrested in Montenegro in March 2023 after he tried to fly out of the country using fake documents.<\/p>\n<p>Since his arrest, Kwon has been awaiting extradition after serving a sentence in Montenegro. Montenegrin authorities have <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/montenegro-supreme-court-once-again-blocks-do-kwons-extradition\/\">yet to determine<\/a> whether he will be sent to the US or South Korea.<\/p>\n<p>The settlement represents a significant step in addressing the fallout from one of the most notable collapses in the crypto market and highlights the SEC's commitment to holding parties accountable for fraudulent activities in the crypto space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singapore-based Terraform Labs and its founder, Do Kwon, have reached a settlement agreement with the SEC to end the civil lawsuit filed in the US over allegations of defrauding crypto investors.
