Lunacy Episode 4: Our Twisted Hero

In the season finale, we look at the man behind the curtain – and tease out just how many crimes he committed. "Crypto Crooks" is sponsored by Chainalysis. Do Kwon has evaded, deflected and run away. But his empire’s crimes are like a trail of breadcrumbs, always leading back to him.  In our season finale, we take stock of Do Kwon’s twisted legacy: the myriad crimes and deceptions he enacted, the system he built to prop them all up and the lies he’s still spouting while running from both nominal responsibility and the law. But there’s more: stay tuned for a bonus episode. We’re digging into the bombshell updates to the saga since February, when the SEC filed its investment fraud suit against Do Kwon and Terraform Labs.
