Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon has launched his final attempt to appeal a Montenegrin court\u2019s decision that could see him extradited from the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a Dec. 6 report, local state media stated that lawyers for Kwon had officially appealed the Nov. 24 decision from the High Court of Podgorica, which approved that Kwon could be extradited to either the United States or South Korea pending a final decision by the Montenegrin Ministry of Justice.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Justice will now consider the appeal and reexamine the initial extradition order and is currently slated to make a final decision on the matter by Dec. 15.<\/p>\n
According to a Nov. 24 statement from the High Court of Podogrica, Kwon expressed that he would prefer to be extradited the South Korea, rather than the the United States. <\/p>\n
