Crypto Crime: The Founder of Luna May Be on The Run

Luna and its sister token UST collapsed in May. An arrest warrant for their main founder has been issued.

He founded one of the crypto projects that has experienced one of the most spectacular collapses in recent months. 

Do Kwon, the co-founder of Terraform Labs, was one of the princes of the crypto industry, but he has now fallen out of favor.

Last May, sister tokens Luna and UST lost all their value in a matter of days, wiping out at least $55 billion. Many retail investors lost their last savings, while for institutional investors, including prominent crypto firms, it was the beginning of the end.
