EXCLUSIVE: I sat down with Terra Founder @stablekwon for his first interview since the project’s $45 billion collapse Our 2-day conversation premieres only on the community-owned NFTV series @coinage_media. Episode 0 coming Mondaypic.twitter.com/9svfn9wBDn— Zack Guzmán (@zGuz) August 14, 2022
What does the interview say? The collapse of the $45 billion Terra project was a shock to the entire cryptocurrency market, from which the industry has yet to recover. The short video features excerpts from an interview where Kwon denies all allegations of fraud. He notes:
“I made confident bets and made confident statements on behalf of UST because I believed in its resilience and its value proposition. I’ve since lost these bets, but my actions 100% match my words. There is a difference between failing and running a fraud.”
Do Kwon mentioned that cryptocurrency is a kind of Wild West and explained that TerraUSD (UST) as an algorithmic stablecoin had been under a lot of pressure. There is a possibility that some TFL employees also participated in the interview.
In addition, Do Kwon stated that South Korean prosecutors have not yet contacted him about Terra. Both he and his company have serious legal problems in South Korea. Law enforcement authorities are still investigating, checking crypto exchanges, and accusing TFL of tax evasion and money laundering.
