Technical Analysis of ETH/USD for June 20, 2023

Crypto Industry News:

Terraform Labs founder Do Kwon has been found guilty of using a false passport by a court in Montenegro. Thus, he was sentenced to four months in prison.

Do Kwon's comrade and former CFO of Terraform Labs, Han Chong-joon, was charged with him and received the same sentence. The time spent by both men in custody will be taken into account, the Montenegrin Basic Court announced on its website.

Do Kwon was accused of trying to leave the country using a fake Costa Rican passport. He reportedly told the court that he did not know the passport he was traveling with was forged and blamed it on the Chinese agency.

According to a June 17 news from the South Korean news site Segye Ilbo, Do Kwon told Montenegro's primary court that he had received allegedly forged passports and travel documents, including a Costa Rican passport, through outside "agencies".

According to Do Kwon, because he had "traveled for years" with his Costa Rican passport, he had no reason to doubt its authenticity.
