US Prosecutors Seek 12-Year Prison Term for Do Kwon in $40B Terra Fraud Case

Federal prosecutors have requested a 12-year prison sentence for Do Kwon, co-founder of Terraform Labs, following his guilty plea to fraud charges in August. Kwon admitted to orchestrating schemes between 2018 and 2022 that deceived cryptocurrency investors and led to TerraUSD's $40 billion collapse in 2022. His defense team has proposed a reduced five-year term, and sentencing is set for December 11.
