陷入困境的 Terraform Labs 联合创始人 Do Kwon 在引渡僵局中从黑山监狱获释

Montenegro, March 25, 2024 - Do Kwon, the embattled co-founder of Terraform Labs, has been released from prison in Montenegro, pending a Supreme Court decision on competing extradition requests from the United States and South Korea.

黑山，2024 年 3 月 25 日 - 陷入困境的 Terraform Labs 联合创始人 Do Kwon 已从黑山监狱释放，等待最高法院对美国和韩国相互竞争的引渡请求作出裁决。

Kwon, who faces fraud allegations in both countries stemming from the collapse of the Terra ecosystem in 2022, had been in custody since his arrest in March 2023 for attempting to use fake Costa Rican travel documents en route to Dubai.

Kwon 因 2022 年 Terra 生态系统崩溃而在两国面临欺诈指控，自 2023 年 3 月因试图在前往迪拜的途中使用假哥斯达黎加旅行证件被捕以来一直被拘留。

Supreme Court Weighs Extraditon

最高法院考虑引渡

The release order emanated from the Council of the Supreme Court, which is expected to review a lower court decision that could grant or deny Kwon's extradition to his native South Korea.

释放令由最高法院委员会发出，预计该委员会将审查下级法院的一项裁决，该裁决可能批准或拒绝将权引渡到他的祖国韩国。

Montenegro's top prosecutor had previously intervened to stay the extradition order issued by an appellate court, which had upheld a lower court's ruling that Kwon be sent back to South Korea to face charges.

黑山最高检察官此前曾进行干预，暂缓上诉法院发布的引渡令，该法院维持了下级法院关于将权某送回韩国接受指控的裁决。

Conditions of Release

释放条件

Kwon's release from prison is subject to certain conditions. His passport has been confiscated to prevent him from leaving Montenegro, and he has been relocated to a shelter for foreigners. Reports indicate that Kwon intends to petition the court for permission to remain at large within the country until an extradition decision is reached.

权的出狱需要满足一定的条件。他的护照被没收，以阻止他离开黑山，并被转移到外国人收容所。有报道称，权某打算向法院请求允许在引渡决定达成之前继续在该国境内逍遥法外。

Ongoing Legal Battles

持续的法律斗争

Despite his extended stay in Montenegro, legal proceedings against Kwon have progressed unabated. On Monday, a civil fraud trial commenced in New York, brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against Kwon and Terraform Labs.

尽管权在黑山的逗留时间很长，但针对权的法律诉讼却有增无减。周一，美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 对 Kwon 和 Terraform Labs 提起的民事欺诈审判在纽约启动。

The SEC alleges that Kwon and Terraform Labs misled investors about the stability of TerraUSD, an algorithmic stablecoin designed to maintain a value of $1, and deceived them about the integration of the Terra blockchain with a popular Korean mobile payment app, Chai.

SEC 指控 Kwon 和 Terraform Labs 在 TerraUSD（一种旨在维持 1 美元价值的算法稳定币）的稳定性方面误导了投资者，并在 Terra 区块链与流行的韩国移动支付应用程序 Chai 的集成方面欺骗了投资者。

SEC Trial Underway

SEC 审判正在进行中

During opening statements, SEC attorney Devon Staren characterized "Terra as a fraud, a house of cards" that resulted in substantial investor losses upon its collapse. However, Terraform Labs' attorney Louis Pellegrino contended that the SEC's case relies on selective evidence and unreliable witnesses.

在开庭陈述中，美国证券交易委员会律师德文·斯塔伦 (Devon Staren) 将“Terra 描述为一场骗局，一座纸牌屋”，导致其倒闭后给投资者带来了巨额损失。然而，Terraform Labs 的律师 Louis Pellegrino 辩称，SEC 的案件依赖于选择性证据和不可靠的证人。

Kwon, who is not attending the trial in person, has maintained his innocence throughout the legal process. His attorney, David Patton, has stated that Kwon never represented Terra's cryptocurrency as risk-free and that "failure doesn't equal fraud."

权没有亲自出席庭审，但他在整个法律程序中一直坚称自己无罪。他的律师 David Patton 表示，Kwon 从未将 Terra 的加密货币视为无风险，并且“失败并不等于欺诈”。

Implications for Crypto Industry

对加密行业的影响

The outcome of the SEC's civil fraud trial and the ongoing criminal cases against Kwon in the U.S. and South Korea could have far-reaching implications for the cryptocurrency industry. The Terra collapse has already spurred increased scrutiny and calls for stricter regulation of stablecoins and other digital assets.

美国证券交易委员会民事欺诈审判的结果以及美国和韩国正在进行的针对 Kwon 的刑事案件可能会对加密货币行业产生深远的影响。 Terra 的崩溃已经引发了更严格的审查，并呼吁对稳定币和其他数字资产进行更严格的监管。

Terra Ecosystem Collapse

Terra生态系统崩溃

The collapse of the Terra ecosystem in May 2022, which included the TerraUSD stablecoin and the Luna token, resulted in a market value loss of approximately $60 billion. The incident sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency industry and led to several company bankruptcies.

2022 年 5 月，Terra 生态系统崩溃，其中包括 TerraUSD 稳定币和 Luna 代币，导致市值损失约 600 亿美元。该事件震惊了加密货币行业，并导致多家公司破产。

Global Investigations

全球调查

Both the United States and South Korea are actively pursuing legal action against Kwon for his alleged role in the Terra collapse. Federal prosecutors in the U.S. have filed fraud charges and are seeking his extradition for trial. South Korean authorities have also filed criminal charges against Kwon.

美国和韩国都在积极对 Kwon 采取法律行动，指控他在 Terra 崩溃中所扮演的角色。美国联邦检察官已提出欺诈指控，并正在寻求引渡他受审。韩国当局还对权提出刑事指控。

International Cooperation

国际合作

The extradition proceedings in Montenegro highlight the complex legal issues surrounding the pursuit of alleged white-collar criminals across international borders. The outcome of Kwon's case will be closely watched by regulators, law enforcement, and the cryptocurrency industry.

黑山的引渡程序凸显了围绕跨国界追捕被指控的白领犯罪分子的复杂法律问题。权案的结果将受到监管机构、执法部门和加密货币行业的密切关注。
