Things all came crumbling down for Do Kwon back in May of last year after the cryptocurrencies his company had created – stablecoin Terra and its sister token Luna – failed. At the time, Terra was one of the biggest stablecoins within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Its failure created a domino effect which tanked the entire crypto market. Do Kwon attempted to resuscitate his failing crypto empire, but that turned out to be unsuccessful.

Subsequent investigations into Do Kwon and his operation eventually resulted in South Korean prosecutors charging Do Kwon and other associates with violatingcapital markets laws. A warrant was issued for his arrest in September, however, the cryptocurrency CEO could not be located. Later that month, Interpol issueda "red notice," officially categorizing Do Kwon as an international fugitive, wanted by law enforcement around the globe.

Communicating through social media, Do Kwon insisted he was not on the run even though South Korean prosecutors claimed he was. It was reportedat the time that Do Kwon was allegedly hiding out in Serbia, a country that does not have an extradition treaty with South Korea.

In addition to the charges from South Korean prosecutors, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also chargedDo Kwon last month, alleging that he had defrauded investors with crypto schemes.
