A court filing from Oct. 27 showed the SEC’s reluctance to accept the jury’s leniency toward Do Kwon and his involvement in facilitating the frauds that eventually led to the collapse of the Terra ecosystem. The filing in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York read:“No rational jury could conclude that Kwon was not liable for Terraform’s violations of Exchange Act Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder pursuant to Exchange Act Section 20(a).”

On the same day, Kwon and Terraform Labs asked the judge to toss the SEC’s lawsuit, arguing that Terra Classic (LUNC), TerraClassicUSD (USTC), Mirror Protocol (MIR) and its mirrored assets (mAssets) are not securities as the SEC alleged.


However, the SEC maintains that Kwon and Terraform Labs offered and sold securities, sold LUNA and MIR in unregistered transactions, engaged in transactions involving mAssets and committed fraud.

While Terra co-founder Daniel Shin’s lawyer blamed the “unreasonable operation of the Anchor Protocol and external attacks carried out by Do-hyung Kwon” for the Terra ecosystem collapse, the company recently blamed market maker Citadel Securities for its role in an alleged “concerted, intentional effort” to cause the depeg of its TerraUSD (UST) stablecoin in 2022.Screenshot from the filing by Terraform compelling Citadel to provide additional documents.

Citadel Securities told Cointelegraph in a statement: “This frivolous motion is based on false social media posts and ignores information we already provided confirming we had no role whatsoever in this matter.”
