<p>Do Kwon and the ex-CFO Han Chang-joon were released on bond by a Montenegrin court on May 12, but they remain under house arrest while the passport forgery case and the following extradition process play out in court. It&#8217;s worth noting that the cash withdrawals occurred before the bail hearing.</p>

<p>The prosecutor&#8217;s office in Montenegro has challenged the court&#8217;s decision to allow Do Kwon bail, citing fears that he may abscond. They say the bail sum is much less than their assets are worth.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Prosecutors in South Korea seek to freeze Do Kwon&#8217;s and the other defendants&#8217; assets as his trial <a href="https://crypto.news/south-korea-sets-trial-date-for-terraform-labs-co-founder-over-terra-luna-collapse/">approaches</a>. So far, $175,000,000 worth of assets and high-end goods have been frozen. One of Do Kwon&#8217;s subordinates allegedly orchestrated the latest cash withdrawals.</p>



<p>Meanwhile, Terra&#8217;s creator, Terraform Labs, completed significant token transfers. </p>



<p>They sent 100 Convex Finance (CVX) tokens to an unknown wallet account and a large sum of $8.7 million CVX tokens to the same address. Convex CRV (cvxCRV) tokens, valued at $26,500 as of Etherscan, remain in the wallet even if it no longer includes CVX tokens.</p>

<p>In addition, it was discovered that Do Kwon still had millions of dollars in a Swiss bank account. After months on the run, he was apprehended in Montenegro and is now being sought by both South Korea and the United States for extradition. </p>



<p>At the same time, prosecutors in South Korea are looking into the Terra-LUNA situation and preparing for the prosecution of co-founder Daniel Shin.</p>
