Kwon Do-hyeong Expresses Hope for Swift Return to Korea as US Continues Extradition Efforts

Kwon Do-hyeong, a key figure in the Terra Luna cryptocurrency crash, has expressed his hopes for a prompt return to Korea following a Montenegro court ruling that he be extradited. Kwon's lawyer stated in a local media interview, "This ruling is legally binding, and we hope that Kwon will be extradited to Korea soon through collaboration between the authorities." Simultaneously, the US Justice Department has stated that it is pursuing Kwon's extradition based on applicable treaties and Montenegrin law. Kwon has been involved in a legal battle to avoid extradition to the United States, where he could face harsher penalties for economic crimes than in Korea.
