Patterson’s legal team filed the lawsuit in June 2022 following the collapse of Terraform Labs, which many attributed to the beginning of a major collapse in the cryptocurrency market. Kwon and the company have since become the target of several authorities globally for their role in an alleged scheme aimed at defrauding investors.

In February, the US Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil suit against Kwon and Terra for allegedly “organizing a securities fraud involving billions of dollars in crypto assets.” Authorities in Montenegro arrested Kwon in March and subsequently sentenced him to four months in prison for using false travel documents. At press time, it was not clear whether he would be released in Montenegro or extradited to the United States or South Korea.
