October 10, 2022: -On Thursday, South Korean authorities started canceling the passport of Terraform Labs founder Do Kwon, whose company was after a $60 billion cryptocurrency collapse.

On Wednesday, local media stated that prosecutors had frozen an additional 56.2 billion South Korean won of digital assets belonging to Kwon.
However, the crypto founder refuted those claims on Twitter. Kwon said no funds had been frozen.
