fter months of investigating the notorious $40 billion Terra LUNA crash in May, South Korean authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Do Kwon, the controversial co-founder and CEO of Terraform Labs. 

Following the catastrophic collapse of the Terra ecosystem, which costed over $40 billion from the cryptocurrency sector, South Korean authorities opened an inquiry against Terraform. 

After a group of investors who collectively lost 1.4 billion won (approximately $1.11 million) filed criminal charges against Kwon and his business partner Daniel Shin for fraud and other financial regulations violations, an investigation was launched. 

Furthermore, the probe was to determine if there had been any price manipulation and whether or not LUNA and UST (now LUNC and USTC) went through the right channels before being listed.
