TL;DR

Montenegro police have arrested a man believed to be Do Kwon, the fugitive crypto mogul wanted in connection with the collapse of his company Terraform, which cost investors over $40bn. Kwon has been charged by US officials for "orchestrating multibillion-dollar crypto asset securities fraud".

South Korea is seeking him, and Interpol issued an international red notice for his arrest in September.
