’Not on the run..’: Terra crypto founder Do Kwon says on jurisdictions

Live Mint  

South Korean cryptocurrency developer Do Kwon on Sunday said he is not on the run for any government agency. Kwon is currently wanted by his home country over the crash of Terra sisters USD and old Luna that eroded a whopping $40 billion of investors' wealth in mid-May. Through his Twitter account, Do Kwon said, "I am not “on the run” or anything similar - for any government agency that has shown interest to communicate, we are in full cooperation and we don’t have anything to hide." Earlier, Singapore's Straits Times newspaper mentioned that Kwon apparently applied to renew his Employment Pass, which expires on Dec 7, but this may be in jeopardy as South Korean authorities have moved to invalidate his passport in a bid to force him to return.
