Amani replaces Terraform's previous CEO and founder, Do Kwon. Prosecutors are investigating the South Korean for fraud, among other things. In March, authorities arrested the 31-year-old in Montenegro. After lengthy back and forth, Kwon has since been temporarily released on US$400,000 bail. Kwon is popular with the judiciary; in addition to South Korea, the United States is also demanding extradition.
