The Montenegro Appellate Court has confirmed the extradition of Do Kwon to South Korea, sidelining the United States’ request for the co-founder of Terraform Labs. With both South Korea and the United States seeking Kwon’s extradition, this development represents a significant shift in their international legal battle. 
The court maintained South Korea’s demand instead of considering Kwon’s possibility of being extradited to the US. This choice arises among continuous debates about Kwon following the fall-off of his cryptocurrency project, which rocked the crypto scene last year. 
Extradition Proceedings Fast-Tracked 
The Podgorica-based court has confirmed that there will be no appeal against this extradition decision, expediting the process. Goran Rodic, Kwon’s legal representative, stated that Montenegro, with Interpol’s assistance, aims to facilitate the extradition swiftly.

This ruling not only highlights the legal complexities of cross-border criminal proceedings in the tech sector but also signifies a step toward closure for those impacted by the Terraform Labs saga. 
Family Wins in Asset Seizure Case 
Concurrently, a legal victory in South Korea for Kwon’s wife marks a separate but related development. The Seoul Southern District Court ruled in favor of Do Kwon’s wife in all third-party objection lawsuits concerning the South Korean government’s attempts to seize assets. 
This decision, rendered on June 19, protects certain properties deemed to be under her ownership, stemming from the couple’s marital acquisitions. This includes valuable real estate and sales rights in Seoul, safeguarding these assets from a previously imposed $177 million asset preservation order. 
These rulings collectively paint a complex picture of the legal challenges faced by Kwon and his family, setting a precedent for how international legal systems interact with the burgeoning and often murky world of cryptocurrency.
