The Trump administration's Department of Justice is pushing for a 12-year prison sentence for Terra's founder Do Kwon. Prosecutors are drawing parallels to the punishment handed down to the former head of a major exchange who received similar treatment. This sentencing recommendation signals authorities' continued crackdown on crypto industry figures involved in billion-dollar collapses. The Terra ecosystem's implosion in 2022 wiped out roughly $40 billion in market value, triggering ripple effects across digital asset markets. Legal experts suggest the DOJ's stance reflects a hardline approach toward founders whose projects caused massive investor losses.

Do Kwon really deserves it; 12 years is actually lenient. Is that $4 billion just gone like that?
