COURTHOUSE,
Nov 27 – The SEC's case
against Terraform Labs
is moving toward a January
2024 trial. On November 17 US
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Jed S. Rakoff held a
hearing on potential trial
experts. Inner City Press live
tweet, thread.
Five days
later, Judge Rakoff barred
defense experts Unny and
Parlour - and in
Montenegro, the Basic
Court in Podgorica approved
the extradition of Terra
founder Do Kwon, with the
destination of the extradition
to be made by the Montenegrin
justice minister after Kwon
serves out his four-month
prison sentence in Montenegro
for document forgery.
On November 27,
Judge Rakoff ordered
whistleblowers' identity and
information taken off, among
other platforms,
CourtListener: "v***SELECTED
PARTIES*** ORDER: The Court
respectfully directs the Clerk
to modify the viewing level to
Selected Parties for the
documents numbered 103-24 and
103-59 on the docket of this
case, so that only attorneys
who have entered an appearance
in the case for the SEC, Do
Hyeong Kwon, or Terraform Labs
PTE Ltd. may view these two
documents. The Court further
directs that unredacted
versions of these documents be
removed from third party
reporting services, including
Lexis CourtLink and
CourtListener. The Court puts
the parties on notice,
however, that should this case
proceed to trial, the Court
will revisit the issue of
whether whistleblower names
may remain confidential.
(Signed by Judge Jed S. Rakoff
on 11/27/2023)." We aim to
have more on this.
