BrandNewsDay reports that the United States has officially sentenced Terraform Labs founder Do Kwon to 15 years in federal prison over the historic collapse of TerraUSD (UST) and LUNA, a disaster that wiped out an estimated $40bn in market value and triggered a global crypto meltdown.

Court documents show that Kwon pleaded guilty earlier this year to fraud-related charges after prosecutors revealed he misled investors about the stability of $UST and secretly propped up the token’s price using hidden trading support.

The judge condemned the scheme as one of the most damaging in #crypto history, noting billions in losses and life-changing financial harm suffered by victims worldwide.

Do Kwon was also ordered to forfeit over $19M, with potential additional actions still pending in South Korea.

This sentencing marks a major milestone in crypto regulation, sending a clear message that accountability in the blockchain space is no longer optional.
