Do Kwon pleads for a softer sentence.
He asks for 5 years instead of 12, citing harsh Montenegrin detention.
Wild stuff, vraiment. Do Kwon — the former Terraform Labs boss at the heart of that $40B collapse — is now pushing for a 5-year sentence, arguing that the brutal conditions he faced in Montenegro should count toward leniency. His lawyers say that’s a “fair” punishment, compared to the 12 years prosecutors want.
He’s already admitted guilt: conspiracy, fraud, the whole package. And he agreed to hand over $19M plus property. Seeing a guy who once strutted around like the king of stablecoins now bargaining for years of his life… it hits different. I read the news with my morning café on the balcony, feeling that mix of sea breeze and disbelief.
The final verdict lands on December 11 in the U.S. Meanwhile, South Korea isn’t playing either — they could hit him with up to 40 years for the same mess.
This saga is a reminder that when a project implodes at that scale, it’s not just charts and tokens… real people pay the price.
