Terra Founder Do Kwon Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison for Fraud

A US court has sentenced Terra founder Do Kwon to 15 years in prison, concluding one of the most consequential fraud cases in crypto history. The decision, delivered on December 11, 2025, follows Kwon’s guilty plea earlier this year. End of the 2022 Crypto Winter Saga? The sentencing ends a three-year and seven-month legal saga that began after the collapse of Terra’s algorithmic stablecoin ecosystem in May 2022, which erased tens of billions in market value and triggered a cascade of failures across the crypto sector. Prosecutors argued that Kwon knowingly misled investors about the stability of TerraUSD and the backing of its broader ecosystem source: https://beincrypto.com/do-kwon-sentenced-15-years-terra-fraud/
