<p>After a nine-day trial, Terraform Labs and its former CEO, Do Kwon, were <a href="https://www.sec.gov/news/statement/grewal-statement-040424" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">found guilty</a> of misleading investors in crypto assets. They violated the Securities Act 1933 by selling crypto assets without proper registration.</p>
<p>Director of the SEC, Gurbir S. Grewal, supports the decision of the jury. He points out that the company and Kwon have given false information about Terra USD’s stability and its use of blockchain. This has resulted in huge losses for investors and a drop in market value. Grewal emphasised on the necessity of compliance in the crypto industry and promises to keep protecting investors. Following this judgement, the SEC has heavily fined Terraform Labs and Do Kwon.</p>
