This decision comes amid an international dispute over Kwon's custody, with both the U.S. and South Korea fighting for his extradition. Kwon is facing charges in the U.S. for fraud and securities law violations in connection with the $40 billion collapse of his cryptocurrencies, TerraUSD and Luna, in May 2022.
