Do Kwon to plead guilty to US conspiracy, fraud charges in $40 billion crypto collapse
By Luc Cohen NEW YORK (Reuters) - Do Kwon, the South Korean cryptocurrency entrepreneur behind two digital currencies that lost an estimated $40 billion in 2022, is planning to plead guilty on Tuesday to two charges of conspiracy to defraud and wire fraud, a judge said at a U.S. court hearing. U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer is expected to ask Kwon, who co-founded Singapore-based Terraform Labs and developed the TerraUSD and Luna currencies, a series of questions before formally asking him to enter the plea. Kwon, 33, had pleaded not guilty in January to a nine-count indictment charging him with securities fraud, wire fraud, commodities fraud and money laundering conspiracy. He was accused of misleading investors in 2021 about TerraUSD, a so-called stablecoin designed to maintain a value of $1. Kwon allegedly told investors a computer algorithm known as "Terra Protocol" had restored the coin's value when it slipped below its peg in May 2021, when in fact he arranged for a high-frequency trading firm to secretly buy millions of dollars of the token to artificially prop up its price. Prosecutors with the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's office said that false claim and others drove retail and institutional investors to buy Terraform products and boost the value of Luna, a more traditional token developed by Kwon that fluctuated in value but was closely linked to TerraUSD, to $50 billion by the spring of 2022. Kwon had agreed in 2024 to pay an $80 million civil fine and be banned from crypto transactions as part of a $4.55 billion settlement that he and Terraform reached with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Kwon has been detained since his extradition from Montenegro late last year. He is one of several cryptocurrency moguls to face federal charges after a slump in digital token prices in 2022 prompted the collapse of a number of companies.

CDC shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Georgia investigators say
ATLANTA (AP) — The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says the man who fired more than 180 shots at the headquarters of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after killing a police officer. Documents found in a search of the suspect's home 'expressed the shooter's discontent with the Covid 19 vaccinations,' Georgia Bureau of Investigations Director Chris Hosey said. White had written about wanting make 'the public aware of his discontent with the vaccine,' he said. Patrick Joseph White, 30, also had recently verbalized thoughts of suicide, which led to law enforcement being contacted several weeks before the shooting, Hosey said. The suspect's family was fully cooperating with the investigation, authorities said at a Tuesday news briefing. White had no known criminal history, Hosey said. Executing a search warrant at White's home, authorities recovered written documents that are being analyzed, and seized electronic devices that are undergoing a forensic examination, the agency said. Investigators also recovered a total of five firearms, along with other critical evidence, the agency said. Hosey said White broke into a secured safe to get the weapons, including a gun that belonged to his father that he used in the attack. 'More than 500 shell casings have been recovered from the crime scene,' the GBI said in a statement Tuesday. Officials are conducting a threat assessment to the CDC facility and making sure they notify officials of any threats.
