3. U.S. court documents show that the number of victims in the Do Kwon case may exceed one million.
Prosecutors overseeing the criminal case against Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon estimate that the collapse of the Terra ecosystem may have caused over one million victims worldwide. On January 6, Daniel Gitner, acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, informed the court in submitted documents about the procedures for notifying Kwon's victims of their rights in the criminal case. According to the U.S. Attorney, the government will establish a public website regarding the Kwon case, as other methods of providing rights protection for victims are "impractical." Gitner stated, "Given the enormous volume of transactions involving Terraform cryptocurrency and the manner in which these transactions occurred (many of which were conducted on foreign exchanges through digital asset wallets or cryptocurrency trading accounts without personal identification information), while it is difficult to precisely quantify the number of Kwon's victims, the government estimates that the number of victims in this case exceeds hundreds of thousands of individuals and entities, and may total over one million." Previously, it was reported that Kwon is expected to appear in court again on January 8. -Original
