In a developing story surrounding Do Kwon, the co-founder of the collapsed Terraform Labs<\/a> blockchain, new investigative reports suggest he may have conducted cryptocurrency transactions while in custody in Montenegro. <\/p>\n

This revelation follows a lengthy period during which authorities reportedly took 72 days to seize his electronic devices and wallet access codes after his arrest.<\/p>\n

Laptops And Crypto Access Codes Found During Prison Search<\/h2>\n

Local media reports<\/a>, citing sources from the Special Police Department, indicate that during a search of detainees\u2019 belongings at the prison in Spu\u017e, investigators discovered laptops, mobile phones, and access codes related to virtual wallets and blockchain accounts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kwon, arrested at Podgorica airport on March 23, 2023, along with his associate Chang Yun Han, had a mobile phone confiscated during his arrest that reportedly \u201ccame to life\u201d after a tunnel leading to the High Court depot was discovered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Per the report, this incident has fueled speculation <\/a>about the possibility of \u201cexternal communications\u201d while Do Kwon was detained in the Montenegrin prison.<\/p>\n

Investigators have not publicly clarified whether the activation of Kwon\u2019s phone was merely coincidental or indicative of a more extensive network enabling him to maintain contact with his cryptocurrency operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to police sources, evidence of campaign financing and joint business dealings between Do Kwon and Montenegro\u2019s Prime Minister Milojko Spaji\u0107<\/a> was found on one of his laptops. However, the official investigation has yet to confirm or deny these allegations.<\/p>\n

The courts in Montenegro have officially stated that they did not have Do Kwon\u2019s electronic devices until June 5, 2023, despite his arrest occurring nearly four months earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Do Kwon\u2019s Case Unfolds With Ongoing Investigations<\/h2>\n

Despite repeated inquiries from the media regarding Kwon\u2019s potential use of access codes for blockchain transactions, responses from the Basic Prosecutor\u2019s Office and the High Court have been \u201cvague,\u201d citing the need to protect the interests of the proceedings.<\/p>\n

Reports also suggest that Kwon may have executed at least three transactions from his crypto wallet <\/a>while in custody, utilizing the account of a Podgorica-based company involved in mobile device sales, further complicating the narrative surrounding his detention and potential illicit activities.<\/p>\n

Sources within the Montenegrin authorities claim that the confiscation of Kwon\u2019s electronic devices only occurred after intervention from then-Minister of Police Filip Ad\u017ei\u0107, who ordered that all \u201crelevant materials\u201d be taken from the prison.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This intervention has led to accusations of favoritism toward Do Kwon, suggesting that he may have had access to crucial devices that should have been secured from the outset.<\/p>\n

As the investigation continues, questions remain unanswered regarding the extent of Kwon\u2019s control over his crypto assets while in custody. With his\u00a0pending extradition\u00a0<\/a>to either the United States or South Korea, Do Kwon has largely remained silent throughout the proceedings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
