Terraform’s $40B Collapse Back in Spotlight as Jane Street Faces Insider Trading Lawsuit

Terraform Labs' $40 billion collapse is back in the spotlight as Jane Street faces an insider trading lawsuit. The complaint, filed by Terraform's bankruptcy administrator, alleges the trading giant used confidential information to avoid losses and hasten the ecosystem's downfall in May 2022. It claims Jane Street obtained non-public details through a former Terraform intern and executed trades minutes after Terraform secretly removed 150 million UST from a liquidity pool, before the information was public. Jane Street denies the allegations, blaming Terraform's management for the collapse. The case could set a precedent for oversight of institutional trading and information asymmetry in crypto markets.

Terraform Labs Sues Jump Trading For Alleged Role In 2022 Collapse

Following the 15-year prison sentencing of its founder Do Kwon, Terraform Labs' bankruptcy administrator has filed a $4 billion lawsuit against Jump Trading. The suit alleges the firm engaged in "illicit market manipulation, self-dealing, and misuse of assets" to enrich itself at investors' expense during Terra's 2022 collapse. The event, triggered when the TerraUSD stablecoin lost its peg, wiped out an estimated $40 billion in value. Jump Trading has dismissed the lawsuit as a desperate attempt to deflect blame. Separately, Kwon, who pleaded guilty to fraud charges in the U.S., may face a second trial and over 30 years in prison if extradited to South Korea, where over 200,000 victims reported losses exceeding $204 million.

Terraform Co-Founder Receives 15-Years Prison Sentence

Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy. His criminal actions were central to the 2022 crypto market crash, which erased nearly $40 billion in market value. The judge considered victim impact statements, including one individual who became homeless after losing $81,000. The sentence was deemed necessary due to the severity and deliberate nature of the fraud. Kwon expressed remorse and may serve part of his sentence in South Korea, where he could face additional charges. His case is compared to other high-profile crypto fraud sentences.

Terraform co-founder sentenced to 15 years in prison after guilty plea

Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon has been sentenced to 15 years in prison by a U.S. court after pleading guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy. The collapse of Terraform in 2022 wiped out an estimated $40 billion from the crypto market. Judge Paul Engelmayer called the fraud "unusually serious," stating that Kwon "publicly lied to the market" for years. Kwon expressed remorse and requested to serve his sentence in South Korea, where he may face additional charges and up to 40 more years in prison. Approximately 16,500 victims were affected, with several testifying about severe financial losses during the sentencing. Kwon is the latest high-profile crypto executive to be convicted, following cases like FTX's Sam Bankman-Fried and Celsius' Alex Mashinsky.
