As a significant development, the High Court of Montenegro has extended the detention period of Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon, following requests from the USA and South Korea. The extension decision, based on the two countries’ requests, prolongs Kwon’s detention by two months, setting a new deadline of February 15. The co-founder faces charges related to the collapse of TerraUSD, an algorithmic stablecoin, in 2022.

The High Court in Podgorica had previously ruled that Do Kwon could be extradited, leaving the final decision on the country of extradition to the Montenegrin Minister of Justice. The impending end of the first detention period on Friday prompted the extension decision.

However, Kwon’s defense has filed an appeal against the extradition decision. The appeal is currently under consideration by an appellate court in Podgorica, adding another layer of complexity to the legal proceedings.

The accusations are linked to tumultuous events surrounding TerraUSD, a leading algorithmic stablecoin, in 2022. As legal proceedings progress, the outcome of the appeal will significantly impact the next steps in this case. 
Montenegro’s decision to extend the detention of Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon underscores the global reach of legal actions in the crypto space. The case, with extradition requests from both the USA and South Korea, continues to be a focal point for ongoing efforts to regulate and address issues in the crypto sector.
