Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon’s fight against extradition just hit a major roadblock. Montenegro’s Constitutional Court unanimously rejected his appeal today, effectively handing over the decision to Justice Minister Bojan Božović—and that’s where things get interesting.
What Just Happened?
Kwon had challenged an earlier Supreme Court ruling that blocked his extradition to South Korea, arguing the process was procedurally unfair. The Constitutional Court wasn’t buying it. They found zero violations of his fair trial or family life rights. Translation? His legal options in Montenegro are basically done.
Why This Matters
Here’s the twist: insiders believe Montenegro will likely extradite Kwon to the U.S. instead of South Korea, potentially influenced by geopolitical and national interest calculations. This is a game-changer because the U.S. faces more serious allegations against him compared to South Korea.
Kwon’s legal team will almost certainly file new appeals to block the U.S. route, but the clock is ticking. His arrest last year with a fake passport left him stuck in Montenegro’s legal limbo for months. The Supreme Court already delayed his South Korean extradition once in August, and now this Constitutional Court rejection removes his last defensive barrier.
What’s Next?
It’s now a waiting game. Božović holds the keys to Kwon’s fate—and whether he ends up in Seoul or facing U.S. courts could reshape how the Luna collapse case ultimately plays out. Don’t expect this wrapped up anytime soon; expect more legal maneuvering from Kwon’s team.
