    Today's Topic - Do Kwon tried to flee South Korea and liquidate the company before LUNA collapsed


    On May 19, according to the South Korean news agency Naver, the source said that Do Kwon tried to flee the country and liquidate the company on May 4 and 6 before the complete collapse of LUNA. In another survey, sources also revealed that Do Kwon owns 92% of Terra Singapore.

    In addition, in October last year, the South Korean National Taxation Bureau also announced that it would impose an income tax fine of 4.66 billion won on Terra Virgin, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Terra Singapore. According to various sources, the Taxation Bureau also traced Terra Virgin and Do Kwon in an attempt to avoid tax by transferring free LUNA to the LFG established in Singapore.

    Previously, some media said that Do Kwon was accused of tax evasion by the South Korean National Taxation Bureau. Do Kwon faced a tax bill of 100 billion won for evading corporate tax and income tax.

    However, some sources said that Terraform Labs had paid 100 billion won in tax to the South Korean National Taxation Bureau at the end of last year. RKB, a South Korean law firm, plans to sue Do Kwon on behalf of its investors and file a temporary attachment order on his property. South Korean parliamentarians have also proposed to hold a hearing on the LUNA incident and to allow executives of the crypto exchange and Do Kwon to attend. Currently, governance proposal No. 1623 to rebuild Terra network is being voted on.
