The news of the settlement was first shared by Reuters in what will come as the next high-profile case in the crypto ecosystem to pay over $4 billion in settlement. Months ago, Binance Exchange settled with the Department of Justice (DOJ) for a long-standing probe into the exchange.
The trading platform agreed to pay $4.3 billion that went to the DoJ, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The settlement at the time also saw the resignation of founder Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao who is currently in jail.
Terraform Labs saw the liquidation of its tokens Terra (LUNA) and TerraUSD (USTC) as both were called at the time. The liquidation saw over $40 billion wiped from the market, drawing attention from regulators like the SEC.
