CoinChapter.com reported that the class-action lawsuit against Do Kwon in Singapore is still ongoing. The High Court of Singapore rejected Terraform Labs and Do Kwon’s attempt to dismiss the lawsuit, which was filed in September 2022 by Julian Moreno Beltran and Douglas Gan on behalf of 375 claimants. The lawsuit alleges fraudulent misrepresentation by Terraform Labs and its co-founders in promoting the algorithmic stablecoin terraUSD (UST), resulting in collective losses of $57 million for the claimants. Mahesh Rai, a director of Drew & Napier representing the claimants, stated that this is the furthest a class-action suit has progressed in the world and that they are now approaching the discovery stage. The decision counters Terraform Labs’ attempt to shift the lawsuit to an arbitration process based on the website’s terms of use. In addition to the Singapore lawsuit, Do Kwon is also facing extradition requests from South Korea and the United States on fraud charges. A Montenegro court has approved his extradition, and the decision on his destination now rests with Montenegro’s justice minister. These legal challenges come in the aftermath of the Terra collapse, where Do Kwon has faced scrutiny from regulatory bodies and the cryptocurrency community. Despite his efforts to revive the Terra ecosystem, his legal woes cast a shadow over the future of Terraform Labs and its projects. The ongoing legal proceedings serve as a cautionary tale about the risks associated with innovative financial technologies, particularly in the unregulated realm of algorithmic stablecoins. The cryptocurrency community and global investors are closely watching the developments in the Terra saga to glean lessons for the future of digital finance.
