US federal prosecutors are investigating former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) for his possible manipulations in the Terra crisis.
The cryptocurrency market continues its long-term bear trend. Also during this bear period, there were many stories of bankruptcies and collapses. In particular, the Terra and FTX collapses were the factors that led to the crash of the market. The pressures created by the global economy also affected the crypto sector, which is called a risky investment area. Dollar outflows and crypto sales began to weigh on the stock markets. In the midst of all these processes, US prosecutors brought up the Terra issue. Prosecutors believe ex-CEO of FTX, SBF, may have manipulated the Terra collapse.

TerraUSD (UST) and Terra Luna (LUNA) collapsed due to a glitch on the stablecoin side. As part of the investigation, it will be examined whether SBF has manipulated these two tokens.
