Legal Battle Unfolds: Terra Co-Founder Do Kwon Seeks Trial Delay Amid Extradition Proceedings

Do Kwon, co-founder of Terra, has requested a delay in the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) trial against him in the U.S. pending his extradition from Montenegro. In a recent filing, Kwon's lawyers expressed that his extradition is not expected until February or March, making an adjournment to mid-March a more feasible timeline for his attendance. However, should the court refuse to postpone the trial date, Kwon's legal team plans to request that the jury be instructed on his absence and inability to testify in a manner that does not unfairly prejudice him.

Key Points:

  • Do Kwon seeks trial delay pending extradition from Montenegro
  • Request for adjournment until mid-March for realistic attendance possibility
  • Potential jury instruction requested if trial date is not extended
  • U.S. and South Korea both pursuing criminal charges against Kwon
  • Charges include financial crimes, fraud, and manipulation of transaction volumes
  • Collapse of Terra ecosystem in 2022 led to bankruptcy declarations in related crypto projects
