According to LUNC.TECH, a Twitter account that provides updates on LUNC burning, the total number of LUNC burned so far is 14,317,819,480 LUNC, which represents 0.2% of the total supply.
Do Kwon receives boost
Do Kwon, co-founder of Terra and now a crypto-fugitive, received somewhat of a boost after a court let an executive connected to his failed Terraform Labs ecosystem avoid jail and suggested that there may be some basis for some of the accusations the individual is facing.
The sole surname that may be used to identify the person who escaped prison is Yu. On Thursday, prosecutors stated that the person had been detained on suspicion of breaking the capital markets law, committing fraud and breach of duty related to market manipulation.
