Terraform Labs' announced settlement agreement with the SEC includes a refund of $3.58 billion and a civil penalty of $420 million. Additionally, Do Kwon is prohibited from serving as an officer or director in any public company. He was also required to contribute about $204 million to Terraform's bankruptcy estate, aimed at compensating injured investors.

Amani, who previously served as Terraform's COO, took over leadership from Do Kwon in July 2023. However, Terraform filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Delaware court last January.
