With Kwon locked up in Montenegro, authorities are now looking into the possibility that the TFL CEO has outside help in moving funds.
Even after his arrest in Montenegro, Kwon, or "someone working under his direction" withdrew $29 million in Bitcoin and "cashed it out somewhere else," South Korean authorities said.
Another chapter was published this week in the long and bizarre saga of Terraform Labs' Do Kwon. A Basic Court in Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, this week sentenced Kwon and the former chief executive officer of Terraform Labs, Chang-joon Han, to four months in prison for forging travel documents. The sentences include the time the two men have already spent in detention, 85 days, after being arrested at Podgorica Airport in March while trying to fly to Dubai, according to the court statement.
Terraform Labs founder Kwon Do-hyeong, also known as Do Kwon, will spend four months behind bars in a Balkan prison, for forging travel documents.
Kwon will have to wait for six months in custody as the Montenegro court decides on the request of South Korea for his extradition.
