Do ‘Con’ Kwon and Terra’s Luna will go down in cryptocurrency history as another Mt. Gox, Bitconnect, and OneCoin story. Everybody and their dog and cat got into Luna. Kwon was one of Forbes’ 30 Under 30, and even the CEO of Galaxy Digital, Mike Novogratz, got a hugenormous tattoo of a wolf howling to Luna.
But then the house of cards fell. Kwon left South Korea for Singapore while a handful of Terra executives were stuck in South Korea and banned from leaving. Then, on September 14, 2022, South Korea issued a warrant for Kwon’s arrest – Singapore said they’d help.
But Kwon wasn’t in Singapore anymore. No one knows for sure where he is. But it might be a little harder for him to run now.
Late Sunday night, Interpol issued a Red Notice for Kwon. What is a Red Notice, exactly? According to Interpol:
A Red Notice is a request to law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition, surrender, or similar legal action.
It contains two main types of information:
- Information to identify the wanted person, such as their name, date of birth, nationality, hair and eye colour, photographs and fingerprints if available.
- Information related to the crime they are wanted for, which can typically be murder, rape, child abuse or armed robbery.
Red Notices are published by INTERPOL at the request of a member country, and must comply with INTERPOL’s Constitution and Rules. A Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant.
The places he can run and avoid justice are quickly becoming fewer and fewer.
Update:

He claims he is not hiding but won’t say where he is.
