South Korean prosecutor suspects Terra co-founder sold pre-issued $LUNA tokens and made over $104 million. District court has seized the assets until further investigation.
While crypto exchange FTX stole the limelight from other fallen ecosystems, South Korean authorities continue their efforts to bring closure to the victims of the year’s first crypto crash — Terraform Labs. Nearly, South Korean authorities froze approximately $104.4 million from co-founder Shin Hyun-seong based on suspicion of unfair profits.
The decision to freeze Shin’s asset worth over $104 million was approved by the Seoul Southern District Court, which was based on a request from the prosecutors. The claim related to Shin’s involvement in selling pre-issued Terra tokens to unwary investors. Based on suspicion of profiting from unwarranted LUNA sales, the district court froze the allegedly stolen funds until further investigations are underway,“Reports that CEO Shin Hyun-seong sold Luna at a high point and realized profits or that he made profits through other illegal methods are not true,”The preindictment preservation of the funds is a way of preventing bad actors from disposing of stolen funds and causing more financial damage or losses for the investors.
Shin is currently being investigated by South Korean authorities on two charges — making unfair profits from issuing in-house tokens LUNA and TerraUSD and leaking customer transaction information of Chai — a Korean payment app linked to Terra — to Terraform Labs. On November 14, the South Korean prosecutors requested the accused co-founder appear in court as part of an investigation into the firm's collapse.

Posts mislead about South Korean government compensation for Seoul crowd crush victimsKorean-language social media posts shared a fortnight after a deadly crowd crush in Seoul's Itaewon district misleadingly claim that the South Korean government has decided to give more than one billion won ($746,000) in compensation to each of the victims' families. The posts said the sum was comparable to the compensation given to families of those killed in the 2014 Sewol ferry disaster. A South Korean presidential spokesperson told AFP that it had not made a decision on compensation for families of the Itaewon victims, adding that a police investigation into the accident remained ongoing. The compensation given to the families of the Sewol ferry disaster victims was also less than the misleading posts claimed.
