On May 28 according to a South Korean television
network JTBC, South Korean investigators are looking into the recent Terra
crash to check whether there were signs of purposeful price manipulation and different
issues.
As per the authorities’ report, the Seoul
Southern District Prosecutors' Office's joint securities and financial crime
investigation group have additionally summoned previous employees of Terraform
Labs, the Singapore-based organization behind TerraUSD and Luna, who were
associated with the underlying improvement of the Terra ecosystem in 2019.
One of those workers has supposedly uncovered
that the group felt quite skeptical about the TerraUSD (UST) stablecoin plan
from the very start.
They likewise assert to have cautioned Do Kwon,
the founder, and CEO of Terraform Labs, that the algorithmic component intended
to safeguard the asset’s stake to the U.S. dollar, may ultimately come up
short, notwithstanding, Kwon pushed with the launch at any rate.
“Even at
that time, there was a warning inside that there could be a collapse at any
time, but CEO Kwon Do-hyeong forced the coin to be launched,” said the
employee.
Presently the prosecutors
are investigating whether Kwon knew about those issues while additionally
investigating potential internal price manipulation.
Moreover, the specialists are testing assuming
that domestic cryptocurrency exchanges went through legitimate listing survey
processes before posting UST and its sister token LUNA.
While the JTBC report refers to no sources, a
Korea Herald report on Monday guaranteed that Terraform Labs had purportedly
closed down its South Korean branch to dodge taxes in 2021.
Supposedly, the organization broke up its South
Korean branch a while before the closure was declared formally.
This, in any case, goes against a prior report by South Korean news site Digital Today, which guaranteed that the conclusion of two South Korean offices and the disintegration of the Terraform Labs Korea Corporation happened only days before the breakdown of Terra.
