On August 12, during a hearing in a U.S. court, Terra founder Do Kwon pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy fraud and wire fraud, related to the previous $40 billion collapse of TerraUSD (UST) and Luna. Do Kwon was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1991 and co-founded Terraform Labs in Singapore in 2018, launching the algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD and the governance token Luna, which was once seen as a benchmark for innovation in DeFi. In May 2022, TerraUSD lost its peg to the USD due to algorithmic imbalance, leading to a big dump in the prices of Luna and UST, with market capitalization nearly dropping to zero, triggering panic in the market and a chain reaction, further plunging the crypto market into the depths of a Bear Market. Global investors lost approximately $40 billion, and Do Kwon was subsequently charged with financial fraud.
