The name Do Kwon is now synonymous with the "disappearance of $40 billion."
The US prosecutors’ attitude is very clear: “Give him 12 years to reflect on his actions.”
The defense attorney responded quickly: “5 years is enough. My client is almost losing his mind in a Montenegrin prison.”
The judge flipped through the case files with a blank expression: “Wait, there’s still a 40-year bill from Korea that hasn’t been settled. Let’s not go too easy here, or he’ll have to keep serving time when he goes back.”
The entire crypto community fell silent at this scene—
The stablecoin collapsed, and so did lives.
The Luna incident remains one of the most painful lessons in the industry to this day. From the frenzy around algorithmic stablecoins to becoming worthless overnight, countless investors’ fortunes vanished in an instant. And now, the protagonist of this farce is finally about to pay the price for his actions.
We can only wonder what the crypto world will look like 12 years from now.

This guy really screwed over the entire community
---
Is there still 40 years left in Korea? LOL, now there's no way out
---
Luna textbook-level rug pull, so many beginners got caught and still haven't recovered
---
How much could Bitcoin be worth after 12 years? When he comes out, no one will recognize him
---
I just want to know who will finally find that 40 billion
---
Mount Montenegro prison is about to break down LOL, that excuse is also top-notch
---
The concept of stablecoins itself should be reconsidered, right?
---
Every time I see this case, I think of my Luna losses
---
No matter how many years they sentence, the money probably won't come back
---
Algorithm stablecoins have been a joke from the start
---
Do Kwon deserves it, but retail investors are even more wronged

Luna really can't hold back, and it's really outrageous that 40 billion is gone.
Do Kwon damned, but let's not be too happy, who knows where the next pit is.
It's hard to say whether there is still a currency circle 12 years later, I bet 5 yuan and a new scammer appeared.
This is Web3, some people get rich and some people go bankrupt.
Montenegro prison is waiting for something wrong haha, this defense lawyer is also ruthless.
The collapse of stablecoins was a shame in the industry, and the atmosphere was really magical at that time.
Algorithmic stablecoins were originally a joke, and now they are reacting?
The 40-year bill is absolute, and the judge is serious.

What can be changed in 12 years? The money’s long gone.
---
Another collapse machine, a real-life cautionary tale.
---
That 40-year sentence in Korea is wild, that’s something.
---
Luna really bankrupted so many people, it’s too late to settle accounts now.
---
I just want to know when those $40 billion will be recovered.
---
Montenegro prison is almost pampering him, haha.
---
This is what you call losing everything overnight. All that investment was just blood and tears.
---
The algorithmic stablecoin scam should be completely discredited by now.

Even the Montenegrin prison couldn't figure him out. This guy is really something.

Ha, $40 billion just evaporated like that. This move is really insane.
---
Do Kwon screwed over everyone in the entire Luna ecosystem with this one. Now he wants to plead guilty? Too late.
---
12 years? I bet South Korea will add more to that. This guy owes way too much.
---
Honestly, when Luna crashed I knew the stablecoin game would blow up sooner or later. I just didn't expect so many people to lose everything.
---
The defense lawyer says 5 years is enough—uh... is this guy joking? Even if he goes crazy in a Montenegrin prison, it won't change the fact that he misappropriated those $40 billion.
---
The crypto space really learned a lesson this time: algorithmic stablecoins are a total trap.
---
No matter how many years he gets, this guy's reputation in crypto is now "Master of Rug Pulls." That's worse than jail time.
BTC, ZEC, LUNA
