A person believed to be Do Kwon, the CEO of Terraform Labs, a cryptocurrency operator that went bankrupt, has been apprehended by authorities in Montenegro. The country’s Interior Minister, Filip Adzic, disclosed the news via a tweet on Thursday. (FT)
A translated version of the Minister’s tweet reads as follows: “Montenegrin police have detained a person suspected of being one of the most wanted fugitives, South Korean citizen Do Kwon, co-founder and CEO of Singapore-based Terraform Labs.”
He revealed that the individual was apprehended at the Podgorica airport with forged documents, and that confirmation of the individual’s identity is still pending.
