South Korea vs. Terraform Labs: The Implications Behind The Fact

According to Yonhap, the raids were carried out to seize transaction records, being valuable material for the investigation. This material has helped the authorities determine the circumstances that caused the disappearance of the USTC and LUNA, plus related resources. Similarly, these data have served to have a kind of chronology behind the events that caused the fall of the currencies.

According to the data, three transactions, part of a planned operation, were responsible for increasing the volatility of the pool. The first operation was a withdrawal of 150 million UST from the liquidity pool. Three minutes later, a trader exchanged 85 million UST for USDC to increase the volatility of the pool. Within the next hour, another trader converted 100 million UST into USDC in four staggered transactions, making the situation even worse.
