As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience navigating complex financial investigations and regulatory compliance issues, I find myself intrigued by this unfolding saga involving Do Kwon and Terraform Labs. The allegations surrounding potential cryptocurrency transactions while in custody are not only surprising but also troubling given the gravity of the situation.
Reports indicate that under scrutiny, Do Kwon, the co-founder of the defunct Terraform Labs blockchain, is suspected to have engaged in digital currency transactions during his detention in Montenegro.
After his arrest, it took the authorities approximately 72 days to confiscate his electronic gadgets and digital wallet access details, as per reports.
Laptops And Crypto Access Codes Found During Prison Search
According to reports from local news outlets, quoting sources within the Special Police Department, it has been found during a search of prisoners’ possessions at the Spuž prison that investigators uncovered laptops, cell phones, and passwords for digital wallets and blockchain accounts.
On March 23, 2023, Kwon and his associate, Chang Yun Han, were taken into custody at Podgorica airport. During their arrest, authorities confiscated a mobile phone belonging to Kwon. This phone is said to have activated after a concealed pathway linking to the High Court storage facility was uncovered.
According to the report, this event has sparked discussions on whether there may have been “outside contacts” during Do Kwon’s imprisonment in Montenegro.
It’s unclear if the activation of Kwon’s phone at that time was just a coincidence or if it points towards a larger network allowing him to stay connected with his cryptocurrency activities.
Based on information from law enforcement officials, potential ties between Do Kwon and Montenegro’s Prime Minister Milojko Spajić in terms of campaign financing and shared business ventures have been discovered on one of his computers. At this point, the formal investigation has not confirmed or refuted these claims.
In simple terms, it wasn’t until June 5, 2023 that the Montenegrin courts confirmed they had seized Do Kwon’s electronic devices, even though he was arrested about four months prior to that date.
Do Kwon’s Case Unfolds With Ongoing Investigations
Regardless of multiple questions from the press about whether Kwon might be utilizing access codes for blockchain transactions, both the Basic Prosecutor’s Office and the High Court have provided “unspecific” replies, stating that they must safeguard the confidentiality of the ongoing legal process.
As a researcher delving into this intriguing case, findings indicate that I may have carried out at least three cryptocurrency transactions from my wallet during my custody, using an account linked to a Podgorica-based firm specializing in mobile device sales. This additional layer of complexity to the storyline surrounding my detention and suspicions of illicit activities adds an interesting twist to the unfolding narrative.
As a crypto investor, I’ve heard rumors circulating about the Montenegrin authorities’ actions regarding Kwon’s electronic devices. It seems these seizures took place after an intervention by then-Minister of Police Filip Adžić, who reportedly ordered the collection of all “pertinent materials” from prison premises.
The action taken in question has sparked claims of bias towards Do Kwon, implying that he might have obtained important resources earlier than necessary, which could have been safeguarded initially.
During the ongoing probe, there are still queries about the degree of control Kwon had over his cryptocurrency holdings while in detention. With his potential extradition to either the U.S. or South Korea looming, Do Kwon has been relatively quiet throughout the legal process.
Currently, as I’m typing, Luna Classic’s native token, LUNC, is being exchanged for approximately $0.00009151, showing an increase of almost 2% over the past 24 hours.
