Primarily, the case contends that Do Kwon and TerraForm Labs violated Exchange Acts by deceiving retail investors and causing them to purchase Terra Tokens at manipulated prices. Also, it is said that TerraForm Labs failed to register all Terra Tokens hence, violated Securities Acts.

Per the update, other defendants in the case include Republic Capital, Republic Maximal LLC, Tribe Capital, DFinance Capital, DFinance Technologies, and GSR/GSR Markets Limited. 

The class action lawsuit is on behalf of all individuals and entities who purchased any Terra-related digital asset between May 20, 2021, and May 25, 2022. This date span is the “Class Period” of the lawsuit. 

Therefore, only the investors that acquired Terra tokens during this Class Period are encouraged to reach out to the firm and participate in the class action. Interested and eligible investors have until August 19, 2022, to apply to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, to be appointed as lead plaintiffs in the lawsuit.

To note, the considered Terra ecosystem tokens as revealed in the announcement comprise TerraUSD (UST), LUNA (now called LUNC), KRT, ANC, WHALE, ASTRO, APPOLO, XDEFI, MINE, aUST, vUST, MIR, Mirrored Assets (e.g. mBTC, mETH, mVIXY, mTSLA, etc.), Liquidity Pool tokens (e.g. UST-mVIXY-LP, bLUNA-LUNA-LP, XDEFI-UST-LP, etc.), and/or Bonded Assets (e.g. bLUNA and bETH).

More Lawsuits in Response to Terra Collapse

May 2021 happened to be a rough month for investors in Terra tokens, especially those who accumulated LUNA and TerraUSD (UST). Several individuals and entities recorded outrageous losses following the de-pegging of the supposed stablecoin, UST

This de-pegging scenario further led to the fall of LUNA (now known as LUNC) to an all-time low. While the price of UST plunged by 91%, the price of LUNA dropped by a huge 99.7%, between May 7, 2022, and May 12, 2022, and is yet to rebound.

In turn, numerous lawsuits have been filed against the project founder, Do Kwon, and the entire TerraForm Labs company. Similarly, a series of investigations by the Korean authorities and the U.S. government is in motion. The Bragar Eagel & Squire class action lawsuit comes after Scott+Scott Attorneys filed a similar lawsuit.
