Summary
Blockchain development firm Terraform Labs, known for the Terra ecosystem and its stablecoin, has filed for bankruptcy protection in the US. The company is currently facing legal battles with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which has accused Terraform and founder Do Kwon of selling unregistered securities and fraud. Kwon, who is the majority shareholder of the company, is currently detained in Montenegro and is the subject of extradition requests from both the US and South Korea. The bankruptcy paperwork reveals that Terraform has between 100-199 creditors and liabilities between $100 million to $500 million.
