Bankrupt crypto firm Terraform Labs faces its Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization hearing on Sept. 19.&nbsp;
The outcome of the <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://medium.com/terra-money/plan-confirmation-hearing-notice-d49bc200968a" rel="null" target="null" text="null">hearing</a> will play a crucial role in determining the company’s future. Terraform has been embroiled in legal battles and financial turmoil since the dramatic collapse of the Terra ecosystem in 2022.
The court’s decision will determine whether the company can restructure and emerge from bankruptcy or be forced to liquidate its remaining assets and cease operations entirely. 
<h3 id="a-fall-from-grace">A fall from grace</h3>
Terraform Lab’s fortunes took a sharp turn when its TerraUSD (UST) stablecoin lost its peg to the United States dollar in May 2022, triggering a catastrophic collapse that wiped out billions of dollars in value.&nbsp;
The event not only led to a loss of investor confidence but also attracted intense scrutiny from regulators, culminating in a lawsuit from the US Securities and Exchange Commission in February 2023.

In January 2024, Terraform Labs <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/do-kwon-terraform-labs-files-chapter-11-bankruptcy-protection" rel="null" target="null" text="null">filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy</a> in the US state of Delaware, marking the beginning of a long and complex legal process. The company’s co-founder and former CEO, Do Kwon, who had been at the center of the controversy, also faced legal action.
In a joint settlement with the SEC announced in July 2024, Terraform and Kwon agreed to pay a staggering $4.5 billion in penalties, disgorgement and interest. This settlement <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/judge-approves-4-5b-terraform-sec-settlement" rel="" target="_self" text="null">effectively banned Kwon and Terraform</a> from the crypto industry.

These businesses, once considered valuable assets, are now being sold as Terraform attempts to raise funds to meet its obligations under the SEC settlement.
