Montenegro’s Minister of Justice, Bojan Bo\u017eovi\u0107, has approved the extradition of Terra’s founder, Do Kwon, to the United States, according to local publication Vijesti<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The Minister of Justice has issued a decision allowing Do Kwon’s extradition to the US while simultaneously denying the request from the Republic of Korea,” the department stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Kwon spent four months in a local prison on charges of using forged documents. In March 2024, he was released<\/a> and moved to an immigration center, where he is to remain until extradition or further developments.<\/p>\n

In September, Montenegrin authorities arrested<\/a> a co-founder of the cryptocurrency pyramid scheme FutureNet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
