๐ A LUNAR ARREST
For those that have never heard of Do Kwon, please take a seat. It's storytime.
Do Kwon is the founder of Terra (yes, that Terra), home to one of the biggest rugs in cryptocurrency history.
Reasoning? Just casual fraud on an 11-figure scale. Nothing huge.
Fun Fact: The Terra collapse was responsible for losses estimated at $45-60 Billion and was the catalyst for many dominos we see falling today.
Following the collapse, Do Kwon went on the run and started a global game of hide and seek with the SEC and a string of other governments. The balls on this guy, amirite?
However, in a weirdly upsetting way, this legendary game of hide and seek has come to a close following reports of Do Kwon being arrested in Montenegro via the Minister of Interior of Montenegro, Filip Adzic.
@stablekwon Interior Minister of Montenegro:
Translation:
ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST WANTED FUGITIVES WAS ARRESTED IN PODGORICA
Montenegrin police have detained a person suspected of being one of the most wanted fugitives, South Korean citizen Do Kwon, co-founder andโฆ twitter.com/i/web/status/1โฆ

So how does this affect your bags? Unfortunately, it does nothing for your bags, as the pain has already set in for those who experienced this headache in real time.
However, there is some light at the end of the tunnel, as Do Kwon's arrest marks a significant development in the ongoing Terra investigation.
Even though it's unlikely for anyone affected by the terra crash to be made whole in the short term, provisions may now be possible in the mid-long term.
Watch Out: This development could re-spark the narrative of the need for heavy crypto regulation. With how the SEC has been moving lately, it wouldn't surprise me to see them use this arrest as the face of their movement.
