An attorney for former crypto entrepreneur Do Kwon is looking to challenge the latest decision by a court in Montenegro to hand over the Terraform Labs co-founder to the US instead of his native South Korea, where he is also sought on fraud charges.
“We are convinced that this illegal decision cannot hold before the Appellate Court, just as the previous two didn’t,” Goran Rodic, a lawyer in Podgorica, said in response to Bloomberg questions. Rodic was referring to a protracted legal battle and opposing rulings by two different courts in Montenegro’s capital Podgorica.
