Do Kwon's alleged $80 million withdrawals before Terra fallout triggers mixed reactions

cointelegraph.com:

Reports that Terra (LUNA2) founder Do Kwon allegedly withdrew $80 million monthly before the project crashed surfaced Friday, leading members of the community to voice their opinions on the matter.

In a tweet, crypto trader and analyst Michaël van de Poppe said that Kwon deserves imprisonment. He compared the Terraform Labs CEO to the infamous fraudster Bernie Madoff. “Honestly, he deserves jail,” Van de Poppe wrote.

Twitter user DaisiObanla also agreed with Van de Poppe. According to DaisiObanla, he wants to hear the news that Kwon is sentenced to 150 years in prison without any parole. Moreover, football player Nicolas Boulay also chimed in, writing that the Terra executive "needs to feel the wrath of the community."

#DoKwon isnt #lunc and will never be able to control the outflows of the assets again. That being said, this man has played the investors and cost people their financial safety and needs to feel the wrath of the #community #decentralized

While there are many who call for jail time, some disagree with the sentiment. PresidentBodhi tweeted that they disagree, saying that "nobody puts casino owners in jail," implying that investing in the asset was a gamble. Following this, Twitter Druid Andrew also said that Kwon didn't do anything that violates the criminal code.

The investigation was initiated after the police received a tip from an informant who worked in the firm.
