Montenegro's Supreme Court to Review Extradition Treaty in Do Kwon Case

In a move that could have major implications for the extradition of Do Kwon, the founder of Terraform Labs, Montenegro's Supreme Court has decided to review the extradition treaty with the United States. The treaty, which was originally signed in 1901, is being examined by the court to determine whether it is still valid today. International law and local Montenegrin law are unclear on how to interpret treaties that were signed over 100 years ago. The extradition case against Kwon is just one of several that have raised questions about the validity of extradition treaties. As more countries adopt digital currencies, it is becoming increasingly important to have clear laws governing the extradition of individuals accused of crimes related to digital assets. The outcome of the Supreme Court's review of the extradition treaty could have a significant impact on the future of extradition cases involving digital currencies. If the court finds that the treaty is no longer valid, it could make it more difficult for countries to extradite individuals accused of crimes related to digital assets.
