黑山将加密货币企业家 Do Kwon 引渡到美国

Do Kwon 的“稳定币”加密货币 TerraUSD 最终并不稳定，损失了约 400 亿美元投资者的资金，并震动了全球加密市场

Montenegro said on Friday it will extradite South Korean cryptocurrency entrepreneur Do Kwon to the United States, following a year and a half of court rulings and subsequent reversals over his removal.

黑山周五表示，将把韩国加密货币企业家 Do Kwon 引渡到美国，此前法院做出了一年半的裁决，随后又推翻了对他的引渡。

Both Seoul and Washington have been seeking Kwon’s extradition for his suspected role in a fraud linked to the collapse of his company Terraform Labs, which wiped out about $40 billion of investors’ money and shook global crypto markets.

首尔和华盛顿都一直在寻求引渡 Kwon，因为他涉嫌参与与他的公司 Terraform Labs 倒闭有关的欺诈行为，该公司导致投资者损失了约 400 亿美元的资金，并震动了全球加密货币市场。

Kwon, whose real name is Kwon Do-hyung, was arrested in March in Montenegro after trying to board a flight with fake Costa Rican travel documents.

权真名权道亨 (Kwon Do-hyung) 于 3 月份在黑山因试图携带假哥斯达黎加旅行证件登机而被捕。

He had been on the run for months after fleeing South Korea and then Singapore before Terraform Lab’s crash in 2022.

在 2022 年 Terraform Lab 坠毁之前，他先逃离韩国，然后又逃离新加坡，随后几个月一直在逃。

The Montenegrin Constitutional Court on Tuesday rejected an appeal by Kwon’s lawyers against the decision of the Supreme Court, which in September determined that the conditions for extraditing Do Kwon to South Korea and the United States for criminal proceedings had been met.

黑山宪法法院周二驳回了权道权律师对最高法院裁决的上诉，最高法院于9月裁定，将权道权引渡到韩国和美国进行刑事诉讼的条件已经满足。

After that, it was up to Justice Minister Bojan Bozovic to decide to which of the two countries Do Kwon would be extradited.

此后，由司法部长博扬·博佐维奇决定将道权引渡到两国中的哪一个国家。

"It was concluded that the majority of the criteria prescribed by law favour the extradition request from the competent authorities of the United States of America," the Ministry of Justice said in a statement on Friday.

美国司法部在周五的一份声明中表示：“得出的结论是，法律规定的大多数标准都支持美利坚合众国主管当局的引渡请求。”

"Consequently, the Minister of Justice issued a decision approving the extradition of Kwon Do Hyung to the United States, while simultaneously rejecting the extradition request from the Republic of Korea," it added.

“因此，司法部长发布了一项决定，批准将权道亨引渡到美国，同时拒绝大韩民国的引渡请求，”它补充道。

Montenegro has already deported Kwon's business partner who was travelling with him -- identified only by his initials J.C.H. -- to South Korea in early February.

黑山已于 2 月初将与权一起旅行的商业伙伴（仅识别其姓名首字母 JCH）驱逐到韩国。

Terraform Labs created a cryptocurrency called TerraUSD that was marketed as a "stablecoin", a token that is pegged to stable assets such as the U.S. dollar to prevent drastic fluctuations.

Terraform Labs 创建了一种名为 TerraUSD 的加密货币，作为“稳定币”进行销售，这是一种与美元等稳定资产挂钩的代币，以防止剧烈波动。

Do Kwon successfully marketed them as the next big thing in crypto, attracting billions in investments and global hype.

Do Kwon 成功地将它们推销为加密货币领域的下一个重大事件，吸引了数十亿美元的投资和全球炒作。

But despite billions in investments, TerraUSD and its sister token Luna went into a death spiral in May 2022.

但尽管投资数十亿美元，TerraUSD 及其姐妹代币 Luna 仍于 2022 年 5 月陷入死亡螺旋。

Experts said Kwon had set up a glorified Ponzi scheme, in which many investors lost their life savings.

专家表示，权某制定了一个美化的庞氏骗局，许多投资者失去了毕生积蓄。

In January, Terraform Labs officially sought bankruptcy protection in the United States.

今年一月，Terraform Labs 正式在美国寻求破产保护。

Cryptocurrencies have come under increasing scrutiny from regulators after a string of controversies in recent years, including the high-profile collapse of the FTX exchange.

近年来，在发生一系列争议（包括 FTX 交易所备受瞩目的倒闭）后，加密货币受到监管机构越来越严格的审查。
