The High Court announced that Do Kwon will be extradited to South Korea, local Montenegrin media pobjeda reported, Wu said. The appeals court noted that the U.S. action submitted to the department on March 25, 2023 could not be considered an extradition request because it requested provisional detention.
Yonhap News Agency analyzed the Do Kwon case and pointed out that the United States adopts a criminal law system in which the sentences for individual crimes are added together, and the maximum sentence can reach more than 100 years, while the maximum sentence in South Korea is only about 40 years. In addition, South Korea does not have standards and laws that can determine whether virtual currencies are securities, so the situation is different from that in the United States.
