South Korea brings its Grim Reapers
South Korea has assigned its special investigative and prosecutorial team also called The Grim Reapers, to complete the investigation on Terraform Labs. The team aims to prosecute securities fraud and unfair trading schemes. It has plans to specifically target Terraform Labs' co-founders, Do Kwon and Shin Hyun-Seong, along with the core Terra team.As per a recent report by the local media outlet SBS News, the Terra case would be the first to be investigated by the reconstituted Securities Crimes Joint Investigation Team. According to the report, a representative from the team said that the severe price downfall of UST and LUNA has seriously affected the average citizens.
The team earned The Grim Reapers' title for handling high-profile and complex cases, including the $1.2 billion Lime Asset Management embezzlement scandal. Before its disband, the unit made 346 arrests from 965 cases prosecuted between 2013 and 2020.
NTS levies $78M on Terraform Labs for tax evasion
In a separate report by the South Korean media outlet, Naver, it is reported that the National Tax Service (NTS) of South Korea is levying an additional $78 million (100 billion won) on Do Kwon and Terraform Labs on tax evasion charges. Do Kwon, who owns 92% of Terra Labs, has been dissatisfied with the taxation since December 2021.Surprisingly, the report discloses that he attempted to liquidate a domestic firm and relocate his residence overseas soon before the Terra crash, prompting suspicions that he was attempting to avoid paying taxes. Terraform Labs' domestic headquarters in Busan and Seoul were liquidated on May 4 and 6, respectively, before the Luna event.
Kwon is blamed by many in the community for the project's failure. In South Korea, a group of Terra investors is planning to suit Kwon in both civil and criminal court for damages and fraud. They will also seek to have Kwon's assets seized by the court.
Shortly after the so-called algorithmic stablecoin, UST's collapse caused chaos in crypto markets, and the company's in-house legal department reportedly resigned.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
