Finally? The Ministry of Justice of Montenegro orders Do Kwon to be extradited to the United States, and the dream of Terra's founder returning to Korea is shattered.

The extradition war between the United States and South Korea over Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon is now rumored to be won by the United States, and Montenegro's justice minister announced on Friday that the Justice Department has ordered Do Kwon's extradition to the United States for trial. (Synopsis: Is it true this time?) Montenegrin court ruled to extradite Do Kwon back to South Korea) (Background added: What is Do Kwon's wishful thinking when he appealed to the Montenegrin court for extradition to South Korea? The U.S. and South Korea's scramble for the priority extradition of Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon from Montenegro, also known as Montenegro, has been a twist and turn. In August, a Montenegrin court originally ruled that Do Kwon should be extradited to his native South Korea, but the latest news on Friday night showed a reversal, with the Montenegrin government saying that Do Kwon would be extradited to the United States for trial. Montenegro's Minister of Justice, Bojan Božović, announced in a statement on Friday (27) that the Ministry of Justice had ordered Do Kwon's extradition to the United States, but did not specify when Do Kwon's transfer would take place. The statement added: Taking into account the decision of the Supreme Court, the Ministry of Justice took into account all the facts and circumstances and assessed criteria such as the seriousness of the crime, the place of execution, the order in which the requests were made, the citizenship of the requested person, and other circumstances. The Department of Justice concluded that most of the criteria prescribed by law were extradition requests from US authorities, and the Attorney General issued a decision to allow Do Kwon's extradition to the United States. Do Kwon abacus broken, priority extradition to the United States over South Korea Stable Coin TerraUSD (UST) and LUNA thunderstormed in May 2022, causing losses of more than $40 billion to global investors, and the public chain co-founder Do Kwon was subsequently internationally wanted for Rug Pull and eventually arrested in March 2023 when he tried to leave Montenegro. Bloomberg noted that it's unclear whether Friday's decision is final and whether Do Kwon still has a chance to appeal. Because the Montenegrin court ruled in August to prioritize Do Kwon's extradition to South Korea. The local Supreme Court's decision on Do Kwon's extradition to "the United States or South Korea" has also been reversed, and Do Kwon and his lawyers have been fighting for extradition back to South Korea, not the United States. Presumably why, in addition to homesickness, South Korea's punishment for white-collar crimes is usually lighter than in the United States, which is also Do Kwon's wishful thinking. Han Chang-joon, the former treasurer of Terraform Labs who was arrested with him in Montenegro, was extradited back to South Korea for trial in May. Lawyer Do Kwon also told the media about the latest decision, that the attorney general's refusal to make a decision in accordance with Do Kwon's wishes involved a violation of his client's fundamental human rights, right to defense and right to legal remedy. However, this extradition to the United States may be the final decision, and the country's prosecutors have argued that the final decision on extradition lies with Montenegro's attorney general. That could put an end to the standoff between the United States and South Korea over the extradition of Do Kwon.
