For some time now, Terraform Labs has been making headlines. According to sources, South Korean authorities summoned the company’s co-founder Daniel Shin, also known as Shin Hyun-Seong, earlier this month for an inquiry into claims that he improperly benefitted from the sale of LUNA [now LUNC] tokens.
According to a South Korean news source, the prosecution wanted to arrest Shin. According to sources, the prosecution has charged Shin with making illegal profits while secretly selling $105 million of LUNA at a market high. He was also charged with violating the Electronic Financial Transaction Act by using customer data from Chai, another company he managed, to promote Luna.
However, Shin had previously stated that in 2020 he terminated ties with Do Kwon and Terraform Labs. He later founded the payment technology company Chai Corporation, where he is currently CEO and founder.

It has just come to light that the court on March 3rd dismissed the arrest order for Shin Hyun-Seong, the former CEO of Chai Corporation and the founder of Terraform Labs, the company responsible for creating the virtual currency known as “Terra Luna.”
In the stablecoins meltdown, which shook the world virtual currency market in May of this year, Shin is seen as a crucial player. Even trying to find a replacement hire for former CEO Shin has failed, and with Terraform Labs co-founder Kwon Do-Hyung staying abroad and not coming back to Korea, it can be assumed that the probe will be difficult.
After questioning the suspects (warrant review) and arresting them the previous day, chief judge Hong Jin-Pyo of the Seoul Southern District Court dismissed the arrest warrant at roughly 2:20 am on the same day.
Judge Hong said,
“Considering the attitude toward the investigation, the circumstances, process, and contents of the statement, it is difficult to see that there is a risk of destroying evidence or escaping beyond the scope of exercising the right to legitimate defense.”
Warrants for three early backers and four Terra Luna developers, who were also jointly sought, were all denied for the same reason.
