Alleged withdrawals of USD 80 million by Do Kwon before the fall of Terra divide the community
The news that the founder of Terra (LUNA2), Do Kwon, allegedly withdrew USD 80 million monthly before the project collapsed came to light on Friday. Which prompted community members to voice their opinions on the matter.
In a tweet, cryptocurrency trader and analyst Michaël van de Poppe said Kwon deserves to be jailed. He compared the CEO of Terraform Labs to the infamous fraudster Bernie Madoff. “Honestly, he deserves jail,” Van de Poppe wrote.
Twitter user DaisiObanla also agreed with Van de Poppe. According to DaisiObanla, he wants to hear the news that Kwon is sentenced to 150 years in prison without parole. In addition, the footballer Nicolas Boulay also intervened, writing that the Terra executive “needs to feel the anger of the community.”
While there are many calling for jail, some disagree with the sentiment. Presidentbodhi tweeted that he disagrees, saying that “no one puts casino owners in jail,” hinting that investing in the asset was a gamble. Following this, tweeter Andrew also said that Kwon had not done anything that violated the criminal code.
Coin Center sues the U.S. Treasury Department UU. over ‘unconstitutional’ tax return rule
The Center for cryptographic studies Coin Center present a lawsuit against the U.S. Treasury Department UU. and the Internal Revenue Service on Friday, alleging that a crypto tax filing requirement enshrined in a 2021 infrastructure law is “unconstitutional.”
The requirement, which will take effect in 2024, requires U.S. taxpayers who receive more than $10,000 in cryptocurrency to report the sender’s social security numbers and other personal information.
The provision was one of several included in a 2021 infrastructure bill. Which also included a controversial crypto tax filing requirement that applied to brokers. That provision provoked a massive backlash from the industry, although it was ultimately unsuccessful.
According to the lawsuit, Coin Center is concerned that these rules require Americans to store sender information for up to a year in case a given set of transactions can be considered “related”, if the total eventually reaches $10,000 or more.
