PANews reported on December 9th that, according to Finance Feeds, Do Kwon is scheduled to be sentenced in New York on Thursday after pleading guilty to two felony charges. However, the presiding judge is urging prosecutors and defense lawyers to clarify his situation in South Korea. In documents filed Monday, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer requested both sides to detail the charges and the "maximum and minimum sentences" Do Kwon could face if extradited to South Korea. In August, Do Kwon pleaded guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud. These charges stem from his role in the 2022 collapse of Terraform Labs, whose stablecoin and token crash triggered a broader market downturn that caused significant losses across the crypto industry. Do Kwon is expected to serve his sentence in the United States first, but questions raised by Engelmayer indicate that the court wants a full understanding of the concurrent criminal charges he faces in South Korea. The judge also asked both parties whether they agreed that “the time Do Kwon was detained in Montenegro” should not be counted towards any of his sentences in the United States. Do Kwon was detained in Montenegro for four months for using forged travel documents and spent over a year fighting extradition before being transferred to U.S. custody.PANews reported on December 9th that, according to Finance Feeds, Do Kwon is scheduled to be sentenced in New York on Thursday after pleading guilty to two felony charges.

By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn. Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later). Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley! So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill). Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit…
