The United States SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) has stirred controversy by revealing the Montenegro PM’s personal involvement with Terraform Labs. The relationship between the embattled company and one of its first investors is yet another case causing ripples in the cryptocurrency market.
Court documents link Montenegro PM with Terraform Labs
A recent report has exposed the personal investments of Montenegro’s Prime Minister in Terraform Labs Pte before the company’s collapse. The discovery follows filings by the U.S. SEC that showed Spajic was one of the first investors in the cryptocurrency firm currently facing dissolution after agreeing to a $4.7 billion settlement with the SEC.
While denying these allegations, the 36-year-old pro-Western political figure and former banker pointed out that the investment was made by Das Capital, a company based in Singapore of which he was a partner. The SEC tabled this evidence through one of its accounting financial experts in a bid to explain why Do Kwon, one of TFL’s founders, opted for Montenegro, where he is currently residing, in an attempt to escape prosecution.
Kwon is currently held in a Montenegro shelter for undocumented foreigners, awaiting a crucial decision by the High Court on whether to extradite him to the U.S. as supported by the Justice Minister or back to his home country, South Korea, which Kwon prefers.
Spajic’s investment would have hit $90M before the crash
Spajic was one of the first investors, having signed a contract for an initial investment of $75000 , which is suspected to have grown to around $90 million before the TFL pyramid scheme went belly up in 2022. According to Bloomberg, the Montenegro PM refused to answer questions from Vijesti, an independent news outlet in his country, about whether he would sue TFL and Do Kwon for defrauding him and other investors.
