According to Finance Feeds, Do Kwon is scheduled to be sentenced in New York on Thursday after admitting to two felony charges, but the presiding judge is urging both the prosecution and defense attorneys to clarify his circumstances in South Korea.U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer, in documents submitted on Monday, requested both sides to detail the charges and the "maximum and minimum sentences" Do Kwon might face if extradited back to South Korea. Do Kwon admitted to wire fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud in August. These charges stem from his role in the 2022 collapse of Terraform Labs, which triggered a broader market downturn and caused significant losses across the cryptocurrency industry.Do Kwon is expected to serve time in the U.S. first, but Engelmayer's questions indicate that the court wants a comprehensive understanding of the parallel criminal charges he faces in South Korea.

ChainCatcher news, according to the Financial Times in the UK, Brussels is investigating whether Telegram has violated EU digital regulations by failing to provide accurate user numbers, with officials pushing to place this controversial messaging app under stricter regulation.EU legal and data experts suspect that the app has underreported its user numbers in the EU to keep its users below the 45 million threshold, as large online platforms exceeding this threshold will be subject to a series of regulations from Brussels aimed at limiting their influence.The EU investigation coincides with a broad investigation by France into alleged criminal activities on Telegram, which led to the arrest of its founder, Russian-born billionaire Pavel Durov, on Saturday. A magistrate will decide on Wednesday night whether to file charges or release him.Telegram stated that Durov "has nothing to hide." Durov now holds citizenship in France and the UAE.In February, Telegram stated it had 41 million users in the EU. According to the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA), Telegram was supposed to provide updated figures this month, but it did not, only announcing that its "average monthly active user count in the EU is well below 45 million."Two EU officials stated that the failure to provide new data puts Telegram in violation of the DSA, adding that the EU investigation may find the actual numbers to be above the threshold set for "very large online platforms."Such designation brings greater compliance and content moderation, third-party audits, and obligations for mandatory data sharing with the European Commission.
