Do Kwon ‘Moves $250K USDC’ To Mysterious Account: On-Chain Data
Terraform Labs CEO and co-founder Do Kwon has moved $250,000 worth of USDC to a mysterious account, according to the latest on-chain data.
Arrogant crypto executive Kwon is reportedly secretly moving his funds, which critics say is practical to fund a “life on the run.”
The address 0xda44200196cfb3416bf011eed608f354804337ba, allegedly belonging to the CEO of TFL, sent up to $250,000 in USDC to another wallet on Tuesday, according to block explorer and analytics platform Etherscan.

The deal was discovered by Jaewoo Choo, an assistant professor at Seoul University and a proponent of blockchain technology. After the transfer, the wallet’s ETH and USDC balance exceeded $30 million.
FatManTerra, an outspoken critic of Kwon, commented in a series of tweets. “To be clear, this is just a wallet and a personal wallet. The vast majority of withdrawals happen through accounts represented by TFL, not shadow wallets, so this amount may be a drop in the bucket,” one of the tweets said, emphasizing that A cryptocurrency executive isn’t as broke as he’d led people to believe.
“Life on the run must be harsh. Is his main account monitored,” the critic said in another tweet.
In a June interview with The Wall Street Journal, Kwon said he lost almost all of his money in Terra’s implosion. Before that interview, he also mentioned the big bets and losses on the Terra project line.

TFL executives have been mumbling a lot of things lately. These included claims that he was “not at large” and that his team was cooperating with South Korean authorities. However, Kwon appears to be no longer in Singapore. He remained radio silent on Twitter after South Korea demanded that his passport be revoked and his name placed on Interpol’s red notice list.
I’m not “on the run” or anything like that – we’re fully cooperating with any government agency interested in communicating, we have nothing to hide
