Do Kwon, the Terra Luna founder, has officially been sentenced to 15 years in prison following the catastrophic Terra collapse that shook the global cryptocurrency market in 2022. The court's decision marks a significant moment in crypto regulatory enforcement. The verdict raises ongoing debate within the Web3 community: is the 15-year sentence proportional to the losses inflicted on investors worldwide, or should it be even more severe given the scale of the collapse? The Terra Luna crash wiped out billions in market value and left countless retail investors facing devastating losses. This case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of due diligence and the real legal consequences facing project leaders when things go wrong in the crypto space. The sentencing underscores how traditional legal systems are increasingly holding cryptocurrency founders accountable for market failures and alleged misconduct.

15 years is still too light. How many people lost everything back then... Do Kwon really thinks retail investors are nothing?

15 years is not enough at all. How many retail investors did this guy trap... Just think about how those who went all in on Luna are living now.

15 years, to be honest, this guy really screwed up, but think about those traditional financial scammers still in jail... Anyway, just punish accordingly. It's definitely better than those project teams running away before without anyone to regulate.

Nah, 15 years is simply not enough. Just look at how retail investors have lost everything... Forget it, anyway, the law can never keep up with the speed of the crypto world.

It should be pointed out that the Do Kwon case is essentially a textbook example used by the fiat currency system to suppress innovation. 15 years? A joke. On-chain data shows that investors' own risk assessment ability is the real issue, but no one wants to admit it.
