Montenegro's Prime Minister, Milojko Spajic, confirmed the extradition of Do Kwon to the United States, highlighting a commitment to international justice.
Kwon is facing criminal charges for conspiracy to commit fraud, linked to deceiving investors regarding the TerraUSD cryptocurrency's stability.
He was arrested in March 2023 at Podgorica airport while attempting to travel to Dubai with a forged passport.
Seoul and Washington had been pursuing Kwon's extradition due to his role in a company's bankruptcy that caused nearly $40 billion in investor losses.
Kwon's legal team plans to appeal the extradition decision, claiming it breaches European extradition conventions.
