The 31-year-old developer apparently went into hiding for a while when the project’s native token, LUNA, and its algorithmic <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/tag/stablecoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stablecoin</a>, UST, failed and brought down the whole ecosystem.Last week, he was detained by Montenegrin officials at the airport in the country’s capital, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podgorica" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Podgorica</a>. While Kwon is likely to be tried and sentenced in the United States, his exact date of extradition has not been determined. According to reports out of the area, Kwon’s legal team plans to challenge the decision by a court in Montenegro to prolong his detention for up to another 30 days.<h3 id="extended-from-standard-72-hours">Extended From Standard 72 Hours</h3>As Kwon is a foreigner who is likely to flee, the Balkan country accepted the prosecutor’s plea to extend the duration of the case from the standard 72 hours.

If he returns to the United States, he may be prosecuted by the same department handling the case against ex-<a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/tag/ftx/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FTX</a> CEO Sam Bankman-Fried.
