Terra’s CEO, Do Kwon, is considering changing his plea in the $40 billion Terra collapse case, following extradition proceedings. A Tuesday hearing scheduled by Judge Paul Engelmayer of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York may see Kwon opt for an early plea deal. This deal could involve reduced charges or a lesser sentence in return for his cooperation, potentially expediting the compensation process for impacted investors.
According to Sam Boolman, ChainIntel’s lead analyst, a shift in Do Kwon’s plea could have significant implications for legal proceedings and crypto regulations. This move underscores the importance of transparency and accountability within the digital asset space.
