What else is known? According to a spokesperson for the prosecutor’s office, the agency plans to take an inventory of seized assets in the future to sell them in order to compensate users affected by the May 2022 collapse of the Terra ecosystem.
More details about the TFL situation. Almost immediately after the project’s collapse, South Korean retail investors filed a class action lawsuit against TFL CEO Do Kwon, and local authorities accused him of tax evasion and began investigating company employees over alleged fraud.

In July, the government began cooperating with the United States on the investigation of TFL’s activities. On March 23, Kwon was detained in Montenegro with forged documents and had been wanted since last September. After that, the US attorney’s office charged him with fraud and market manipulation, saying it plans to seek the entrepreneur’s extradition. Kwon had also previously been sued by investors in California, and the financial regulator accused him of withdrawing $238 million from the project.
In March, a TFL investigation was launched in Singapore, with local investors also suing the company for $57 million.
