Do Kwon引渡回美受审,面带微笑拒不认罪


美国当地时间 1 月 2 日,Terra 的前创始人,也是 Terraform Labs 的联合创始人 Do Kwon 正式出现在美国法庭的公众视野里。在曼哈顿联邦法院的听证会上,Do Kwon 提出不认罪,案件将正式进入审判程序。


Odaily 此前报道,黑山共和国总理 Milojko Spajic 周二表示,黑山已完成将 Terraform Labs 联合创始人 Do Kwon 引渡至美国的手续。Spajic 在 X 平台发文称:“此次引渡彰显了我们对国际正义和法治坚定不移的承诺。”


Do Kwon 因 2022 年价值 400 亿美元的 TerraUSD 稳定币崩盘而在纽约和首尔两地面临起诉。去年,他在黑山因使用伪造护照旅行而被捕。今年 4 月,针对美国证券交易委员会(SEC)的指控进行民事审判后,Terraform 及其创始人 Do Kwon 被判欺诈罪名成立。Terraform 已同意支付 45 亿美元与美国证券交易委员会达成和解。


背景消息:Terra 崩溃,Do Kwon 引渡和审判过程前瞻


Terra 的崩溃


2022 年 5 月,Terra 生态系统经历了一场在整个加密货币历史上都史无前例的崩溃,其核心的两种加密货币 TerraUSD(UST)和 LUNA 的价值几乎归零,导致约 400 亿美元的损失。


UST 是当年算法稳定币的头号代表,通过算法和市场激励机制保持与美元的 1: 1 挂钩,而 LUNA 则是支持 UST 稳定性的治理代币。然而, 5 月初,随着 Terra 的协议升级与资金出逃,UST 失去了与美元的挂钩,价格迅速下跌,引发市场恐慌。为应对这一危机,Terraform Labs 试图通过储备金支撑 UST 价格,但未能成功。同时,Terra 协议的双币机制导致大量新 LUNA 被铸造,进一步压低了 LUNA 的价格,形成恶性循环。


最终,LUNA 的价格从高点的约 119 美元暴跌至几乎为零,整个生态系统随之崩溃。同时,Terra 的崩溃引发了市场连锁反应,对比特币等其他加密货币也造成了影响,并导致数百万投资者的资金完全蒸发。此后,算法稳定币几乎从市场上销声匿迹,也直接带来了3AC等随后的一级市场暴雷。


引渡到美国还是韩国?


Do Kwon 曾在今年上半年陷入一场拉锯战:美国和韩国都想要在本土审判 Do Kwon,在 3 月份爆出过 Do Kwon 将被最终引渡至韩国,但被黑山最高法院推迟了该决定,最终在 12 月确认将他引渡至美国。


此前,市场有流言声称,在 Do Kwon 被黑山警方逮捕时,在其直肠内发现了一枚 Trezor 硬件冷钱包,据称里面有超过 10000 个比特币。如今,这些比特币价值超过十亿美元。

审判过程前瞻


在法庭上,Do Kwon 对他的指控表示不认罪。那么之后将发生什么呢?


不认罪(Plead not guilty)是美国司法程序中被告在刑事案件中对法庭指控作出的正式声明,意思是他否认自己犯下指控中的罪行。这并不意味着被告被直接认定为无罪,而是要求检方提供充分的证据来证明指控成立,案件将会进入审判阶段,由法庭审理后决定被告是否有罪。


1 月 8 日,案件将再次开庭。


也就是说,接下来我们将见证与 SBF 在今年年初时候相似的一出法庭大戏,从证人出庭到最终判决,将会有很多 Terra 崩溃的内幕被爆出。Odaily 将为您持续跟踪报道。


有可能被判 130 年,但他却露出微笑


Do Kwon 被指控多项罪名。根据美国司法部公共事务办公室的新闻发布,对 Do Kwon 的主要指控如下:


Do Kwon 作出的虚假陈述:

  • 稳定币虚假陈述: Kwon 虚假宣传“Terra 协议”系统的有效性,该系统据称使用计算机算法将 Terraform 的所谓“稳定币”TerraUSD(UST)的价值保持在 1 美元-1 UST。但 Kwon 知道,在 2021 年 5 月 Terra 协议未能恢复 UST 的 1 美元挂钩后,他与一家高频交易公司的高管达成协议,由该公司购买大量 UST 以人为支持 UST 的 1 美元挂钩。
  • LFG 虚假陈述: Kwon 虚假宣传 Luna Foundation Guard Ltd.(LFG)的治理,声称该组织由独立管理机构管理,负责部署数十亿美元的金融储备以捍卫 UST 的挂钩。但 Kwon 实际控制了 LFG 和 Terraform,并挪用了数亿美元的 LFG 资产。
  • Mirror 虚假陈述: Kwon 虚假宣传 Terraform 区块链上的 Mirror 协议的成功,该协议据称允许用户创建、购买和出售美国证券交易所上市股票的合成版本。但 Kwon 和 Terraform 实际控制了 Mirror,并通过自动交易机器人操纵合成资产的价格。
  • Chai 虚假陈述: Kwon 虚假宣称 Terraform 区块链用于处理韩国支付应用 Chai 的数十亿美元金融交易,但实际上 Chai 使用的是传统金融处理网络。
  • 创始代币虚假陈述:Kwon 将原定用于储备的 1 亿创始稳定币用于虚假交易,包括操纵 Mirror 资产价格。

纽约南区的美国检察官 Daniel M. Gitner 表示,“正如我们所指控的那样,这种欺诈行为以及 Terraform 加密货币在 2022 年 5 月的崩溃抹去了超过 400 亿美元的投资者资产,对美国和全球无数投资者造成了毁灭性损失。Kwon 现在将在曼哈顿联邦法庭接受正义审判。”


但是,根据 Inner City Press 的消息,在本日出席听证会时,“Do Kwon 正在与他的律师之一聊天,面带微笑——显然心情不错。”

根据 The Block 的报道,Kwon 还面临美国证券交易委员会(SEC)于 2023 年 2 月提起的民事指控。Terraform 与 SEC 的诉讼于 3 月底开始审理,但他并未参与。4 月,陪审团裁定 Terraform 和 Kwon 误导投资者,并对民事欺诈负责,违反了联邦证券法。


Kwon 面临两项商品欺诈指控(每项最高可判 10 年)、两项证券欺诈指控(每项最高可判 20 年)、两项电信欺诈指控(每项最高可判 20 年)、两项串谋指控(每项最高可判 5 年)以及一项洗钱阴谋指控(最高可判 20 年)。如果所有指控成立,Do Kwon 最高可判 130 年监禁,是 SBF 的五倍还多。

$8 Trillion: The Second-Largest IPO in History Has Arrived

SK Hynix Makes History with World's Second-Largest IPO. The global memory chip leader SK Hynix debuted on Nasdaq, raising $26.5 billion and achieving a market cap exceeding $1.2 trillion. This marks the largest U.S. IPO by a foreign company and the second-biggest globally. The company's journey is a remarkable turnaround. Founded in 1983, its predecessor, Hyundai Electronics, faced near-bankruptcy during industry downturns before being acquired by SK Group in 2011. A pivotal early bet on HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) technology, initially with AMD in 2013, ultimately paid off with the AI boom. SK Hynix now supplies HBM3 to NVIDIA and commands 58% of the global HBM market. Driven by soaring AI demand, SK Hynix reported staggering Q1 2026 profits with a 72% operating margin. Its surging stock made it South Korea's second trillion-dollar company. Profits are shared widely with employees through a new bonus system tied to 10% of annual operating profit. The article highlights an ongoing "super memory cycle" fueled by AI, with market forecasts predicting massive growth. This presents a historic opportunity for Chinese memory chip makers. ChangXin Memory Technology (CXMT) is set for a domestic IPO, potentially reaching a ~$420 billion valuation as China's top DRAM producer. Yangtze Memory is also preparing to go public. While these "domestic storage leaders" are gaining ground, the article notes they still face technology and margin gaps compared to established giants like Samsung and SK Hynix.

How to Buy LUNA

What is $LUNA

Luna28 ($$LUNA): A Moon-Inspired Crypto Venture Introduction In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrencies, innovation is key. Luna28 stands out as a project that not only embraces technology but also intertwines it with the mystique of cosmic cycles. Inspired by the moon's 28-day cycle, Luna28 ($$LUNA) aims to create a unique and engaging experience for its community, merging the concepts of tokenomics and lunar-themed non-fungible tokens (NFTs). At its core, this project employs a distinctive token burn mechanism aligned with lunar and solar eclipses, setting a new precedent in the crypto space. What is Luna28? Luna28 is a token-based cryptocurrency project built on the Ethereum blockchain. It seeks to offer its users a blend of cosmic engagement through a series of innovative features. Key to its identity is the launch of lunar-themed NFTs which enhance community interaction while celebrating the moon's cultural significance. The project aims to create a deeper connection between its community members and the cosmos. This connection is facilitated through a carefully crafted ecosystem that leverages lunar themes, token burns, and dynamic activities associated with celestial events. The goal is not just about enhancing token value but fostering a sense of belonging and enjoyment within the community. Creator of Luna28 The details surrounding the creator of Luna28 remain largely unknown. This lack of information has led to an air of mystery around the project, further adding to its uniqueness. The anonymous nature of its creation reflects a broader trend within the crypto industry, where the focus is often on the project and its community rather than individual profiles. Investors of Luna28 Currently, there is no publicly available information regarding the specific investment foundations or organizations that support Luna28. This aspect may indicate a grassroots initiative where the community plays a vital role in the project's development and growth. The absence of prominent investors can sometimes create a more decentralized and independent project, allowing for organic community engagement and involvement. How Does Luna28 Work? One of the most compelling aspects of Luna28 is how it operates, particularly its unique features that set it apart from other cryptocurrency projects. 1. Lunar and Solar Eclipse Token Burns Luna28 incorporates a special token burn mechanism, which involves periodically burning a portion of its token supply during lunar and solar eclipses. This approach not only creates excitement around celestial events but also works on the fundamental principle of increasing scarcity. By reducing the overall token supply through burns, the remaining tokens have the potential for increased value, benefiting all holders. 2. Tokenomics The economic structure of Luna28 is crafted to ensure sustainability and growth. Each transaction incurs a 4.4% tax: 2% contributes to the Moon Cycle Fund, which is burned every 28 days during the full moon. The remaining 2.4% is earmarked for development and marketing, facilitating the project’s expansion and continuous improvement. This tax structure establishes a steady flow of funding while maintaining a deflationary approach that can enhance the token's value proposition. 3. 100% Burned Liquidity Security and trust are paramount in any cryptocurrency project. Luna28 addresses these concerns by locking its liquidity pool tokens in a burn wallet. This ensures that liquidity is permanently secured, fostering confidence within the community as they engage with the platform. 4. NFT Drops Further enhancing community engagement, Luna28 plans to release lunar-themed NFTs. These digital collectibles not only serve as a source of fun and creativity but also offer users unique assets tied to the larger lunar theme. The introduction of NFTs reflects a growing trend in the crypto space, blending traditional forms of artistic expression with innovative technology. 5. Hyper Deflationary Token Luna28 is classified as a hyper deflationary token, emphasizing its commitment to a declining token supply through systematic burns. This design encourages long-term holding, as community members anticipate potential value growth driven by scarcity. 6. First Buyer Incentive In a bid to promote active participation, Luna28 offers a unique first buyer incentive. After each celestial burn event, the first participant in the market is rewarded with 10% of the tokens burned during that event. This encourages immediate engagement and interest surrounding each significant celestial phenomenon. 7. Sustainable Tax Structure The project's tax model is specifically designed to encourage sustainable growth, balancing the need for ongoing project development with the goal of enhancing token value. This innovative tax structure serves the dual purpose of supporting the community's interests while maintaining a healthy ecosystem for the project. Timeline of Luna28 A well-charted timeline helps in understanding the progression and milestones of Luna28. Here’s a synopsis of important events in the project’s history: Stealth Launch: The project entered the crypto arena under a stealth launch, garnering significant community interest and posting a remarkable 1792% increase from its initial listing. This initial surge indicated strong community reception and a solid foundation for future growth. Token Burns: Committing to its unique approach, Luna28 plans to burn 28% of its token supply over a three-year period, timed specifically during lunar and solar eclipses. Community members eagerly await their opportunities to participate in these events. Community Involvement: Emphasizing transparency and the importance of community feedback, Luna28 plans to notify its users in advance about upcoming token burn events. This engagement approach encourages active participation, fostering a strong sense of community. Key Features Luna28's distinctive features bolster its appeal within the cryptocurrency sector: Hyper Deflationary Nature: The project's focus on hyper deflationary mechanics enables a strategic reduction in supply, aiming for enhanced value retention. Incentives for Early Engagement: The project rewards early participants with direct benefits, which cultivates a proactive community eager to contribute. Commitment to Community Development: The sustainable tax model not only ensures the project's growth but also actively involves the community in shaping its future direction. Conclusion Luna28 represents a unique fusion of technology, community engagement, and celestial inspiration in the cryptocurrency landscape. By integrating innovative mechanisms such as token burns during astrological events and creating engaging lunar-themed NFTs, the project distinguishes itself as a trailblazer within its niche. As a community-driven endeavor, Luna28 promises to deliver not just another cryptocurrency but an experience that marries elements of cosmic fascination with blockchain technology. With its innovative features and strong emphasis on community involvement, Luna28 has the potential to create a lasting impact in the world of digital currencies. The connection it forges between its users and the universe represents not only a creative endeavor but also a brilliantly calculated business strategy poised for growth. As we observe the evolution of Luna28, it is evident that it is more than just a token; it is a concept that encourages its community to look up at the cosmos and ponder their place within it, all while navigating the exciting world of cryptocurrency. The future for Luna28 looks bright and full of potential, eagerly awaiting its next lunar cycle.

What is TERRA

Exploring the Terra Ecosystem: A Comprehensive Overview Introduction In the ever-evolving landscape of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, the Terra Ecosystem has emerged as an ambitious project designed to facilitate a decentralized financial system. This innovative platform focuses on creating stable and scalable algorithmic stablecoins, aimed at driving the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies. In this article, we will delve into the foundational aspects of the Terra Ecosystem, exploring its operational mechanisms, its creators, investors, notable components, and the timeline of its development. What is the Terra Ecosystem? Founded in 2018, the Terra Ecosystem is a layer-one blockchain designed to provide an efficient and reliable payment platform. The core mission of Terra is to create a preferred form of money that is not only decentralized but also practical for everyday use. At the heart of the ecosystem is its native algorithmic stablecoin, TerraUSD (UST), which is pegged to the US dollar using an innovative algorithmic mechanism. This unique approach addresses a common concern in the cryptocurrency space: the volatility that often accompanies digital assets. The Terra Ecosystem aims to enhance the usability of cryptocurrencies by creating an environment where digital currencies function similarly to traditional currencies. By being user-friendly and stable, Terra sets out to attract users outside of the crypto community, ultimately fostering mass adoption. The Creators of the Terra Ecosystem The Terra Ecosystem emerged under the guidance of its co-founders Daniel Shin and Do Kwon. Both individuals, with a wealth of experience in entrepreneurship and technology, launched Terraform Labs to spearhead this groundbreaking project. Daniel Shin, a prominent figure in the South Korean tech landscape, has co-founded multiple tech companies, while Do Kwon has an extensive background in computer science and engineering. Their partnership is pivotal in steering the development and growth trajectory of the Terra Ecosystem. Investors in the Terra Ecosystem While detailed information about specific investors remains limited, it is widely acknowledged that Terraform Labs has garnered substantial financial support from a variety of angel investors and venture capital firms. This backing provides the necessary resources for the ongoing development and expansion of the Terra Ecosystem. The emphasis on acquiring diversified investment sources reflects the strong belief in the project's potential within the cryptocurrency community. How Does the Terra Ecosystem Work? At the core of the Terra Ecosystem's functionality lies its innovative proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. This allows holders of the LUNA token, the native currency of the ecosystem, to participate in the governance and operation of the network. The dual-token structure differentiates Terra from many other projects, with LUNA serving both as a stake for validators and as a governance token. The mechanism operates in a distinctive way, whereby the supply of LUNA backs the stablecoin UST. If the demand for UST increases, the algorithm automatically adjusts the supply of LUNA to maintain the stability of UST at its dollar peg. Users are enabled to exchange 1 UST for an equivalent value in LUNA, ensuring that fluctuations in demand do not affect the peg. This innovative approach enables the Terra Ecosystem to maintain price stability, one of its primary goals. Timeline of the Terra Ecosystem The development journey of the Terra Ecosystem has been marked by significant milestones: 2018: Establishment of Terraform Labs by Daniel Shin and Do Kwon, laying the groundwork for the Terra Ecosystem. April 2019: The initial release of the Terra blockchain, initiating its journey into the broader cryptocurrency landscape. 2021: Terra experiences remarkable growth as its total value locked (TVL) reaches new heights, positioning it as a dominant player in decentralized finance (DeFi). May 2022: A turbulent period arises as the Terra blockchain is temporarily halted following the collapse of UST and LUNA, leading to a significant impact on market perception and capitalization. January 2024: Terraform Labs files for bankruptcy, marking another critical event in the project's history, sparking discussions on the sustainability and future of the ecosystem. Key Components of the Terra Ecosystem A variety of features contribute to the unique functionality of the Terra Ecosystem: Core Functionality The Terra Ecosystem includes essential functionalities such as managing transaction fees, monitoring price fluctuations, and maintaining historical balances of transactions, all of which are crucial for ensuring user experience and operational integrity. Applications One of the flagship features of the Terra Ecosystem is its diverse array of applications. This includes: Anchor Protocol: A money market protocol that provides high stablecoin yields and tokenized stakes for users seeking to maximize returns on their investments. Mirroring Technology: Enabling users to create assets that mirror real-world assets and trades, allowing for broader use cases and applications. Chai: A payment platform designed to facilitate everyday transactions using Terra's stablecoin technology. Swaps and Exchanges The ecosystem provides functionality for seamless asset exchanges. Notable features include native swapping capabilities and platforms such as Terraswap, allowing users to exchange Terra assets efficiently while benefiting from competitive rates. Governance Governance plays a critical role in the decentralized nature of the Terra Ecosystem. Token holders use their LUNA tokens to propose changes or vote on proposals that affect the network, ensuring collective decision-making and community involvement in the ecosystem's evolution. Notable Projects in the Terra Ecosystem Beyond the core functionalities, the Terra Ecosystem is also home to notable projects that further augment its capabilities: Terraswap: This decentralized exchange (DEX) emerged to facilitate easy swapping of Terra assets, thus promoting a vibrant trading environment within the ecosystem. Astroport: Another DEX known for its high total value locked, Astroport enhances trading opportunities and liquidity provision for users. Loop Markets: This integrated exchange hub offers users a range of trading tools and services, significantly contributing to the user experience across the Terra platform. Conclusion The Terra Ecosystem stands as a significant player within the blockchain and cryptocurrency domains, aiming to create a stable and scalable financial platform designed for widespread cryptocurrency adoption. Although the ecosystem faced dramatic challenges, notably the collapse of its stablecoin UST and the LUNA token, it continues to adapt and evolve in the face of adversity. As the project navigates its future, it remains committed to its foundational vision of building practical products accessible to a broader audience, thereby reinforcing the potential of decentralized finance. The Terra Ecosystem, with its robust features and innovative approach, holds promise as it seeks to redefine the landscape of digital currency use, remaining a focal point for enthusiasts and investors alike in the ongoing evolution of blockchain technology.
