SEC Lawsuit Against Do Kwon and Terraform Labs Will Proceed
Recalling the earlier details of the lawsuit, the SEC accused Terraform Labs and Do Kwon of orchestrating a multi-billion dollar crypto-asset securities scam which allegedly involved an algorithmic stablecoin and other crypto-asset securities that triggered a massive crash in the crypto market.
The lawsuit had been in limbo for a while but many want it to officially proceed now. The SEC claims that the defendants raised billions of dollars from investors by offering and selling interconnected crypto-asset securities, some of which were done in unregistered transactions.
Among these crypto-asset securities were mAssets, which are security-based swaps designed to mirror the stock prices of various U.S. companies, and an algorithmic stablecoin which allegedly relies on the USD and can be exchanged for another crypto-asset security called LUNA, specifically Terra USD (UST).
Regarding the lawsuit, SEC chairman Gary Gensler stated that Terraform Labs and Do Kwon failed to disclose the necessary information required for various crypto-asset securities, mainly LUNA and UST. The Sagency also accused them of committing fraud by making false and misleading statements to gain trust and subsequently causing significant losses for numerous investors.
Many feel it is crucial for the lawsuit to get back on track in order to avoid a similar situation to the ongoing FTX fiasco, which recently saw the disgraced Sam Bankman-Fried announce his plans of restarting the crypto exchange.
