SOUTH Korean prosecutors have asked Interpol to issue a red notice for Do Kwon, the founder of failed cryptocurrency Terra, saying he was refusing to cooperate with their probe into its US$40 billion (RM182 billion) collapse.

An official from the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office told AFP today that they had asked authorities to cancel Kwon’s South Korean passport, saying that he was clearly “on the run”.
