Kwon Do-Hyung[2] (Korean권도형; born September 6, 1991), more commonly known as Do Kwon, is a South Korean former businessman and software engineer. He was the co-founder and CEO of Terraform Labs, the parent company of crashed stablecoin TerraUSD and cryptocurrency Luna.[3] TerraUSD and Luna collapsed in May 2022, wiping out almost $45 billion market capitalization in one week and causing hundreds of billions in losses in the larger crypto market.[4][3][5] Kwon faces legal and social pressure regarding his role in the Terra crash.[6][7] Citizens from various jurisdictions — including South Korea, Singapore, and the United States — are taking legal action against Kwon.[4][8][9][10] On 23 March 2023, Kwon was arrested in Montenegro, while attempting to travel to Dubai using falsified documents. Following his arrest, he was charged by a US federal grand jury of eight counts, including securities fraud, commodities fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy.
