    It's a critical moment for the #Crypto space. By catching and punishing @stablekwon, the crypto space is sending a clear message that it won't tolerate unethical behavior. This is a significant step towards building a more trustworthy and secure crypto environment. https://twitte…

    Remember that Luna did not represent decentralisation, transparency or an open financial system, but everything to do with personal greed, hubris and fraud. Crypto was designed to prevent the likes of Do Kwon having this kind of power, lets hope we never forget that in the future…

    Local media says Do Kwon was arrested alongside Terra's CFO attempting to board a flight to Dubai using fake Costa Rican documents Also found with fake Belgium documents, 3 laptops and 5 phones https://www.pobjeda.me/...

    He shilled a fake ecosystem built on spoofed transactions. He orchestrated a secret bailout and told the people it was the “strength of his algorithm”. And when retail investors committed suicide, he made jokes at their expense. May the full force of the law descend on Do Kwon.

    Instead of facing his crimes head on in a court of law, Do Kwon illegally forged multiple travel documents and tried to run. He gave up watching his daughter's childhood - for money. Stolen money he didn't even need. Scammer, yes, but also spineless, despicable, soulless. https:/…

    Why always Dubai? They really want to live their whole life stuck in 1 city? White collar crimes go unpunished anyway, face justice back home, worst case scenario few years jail. Most likely scenario, house arrest + fine. https://twitter.com/...
