It's time to uncover another one of Terra's dirty little secrets... A 'blockchain consultancy firm' they spun up in order to launder money and evade taxes. Let's have a look at company K. (1/8)

KBS didn't disclose who company K is... So let's find out. As many VCs will tell you, the surefire formula to a successful company is to name it a cool word and slap 'Labs' to the end. Tell me if this site looks familiar... https://kernellabs.co/ (5/8)

Hey, that looks just like the Terra sites! Because they're made by exactly the same people. Kernel Labs has received no online coverage in the West, and KBS omitted the name - a lesser-known Korean news site covered the link but went under the radar. https://ilyo.co.kr/?ac=article_view&entry_id=428833 … (6/8)

Now, TFL is trying to furiously scrub away their link to Kernel Labs. On May 18th, mentions of Anchor/Mirror from Kernel's site were removed. In the T2 proposal, Do hastily removed the mention, despite implying that they were partnered in the creation/maintenance of Terra. (7/8)pic.twitter.com/NfQX11qAZ8

If you remember the Chai thread, you'll know Terra is no stranger to routing money through shell businesses to evade taxes, regulations, and public scrutiny. We're learning more every hour thanks to some amazing Korean volunteers who verify and translate sources for me. (8/8)

PS. To any Koreans out there who are interested in some light reading, that last news site has a link to Terra's original patent (filed by Kernel Labs) written by Do Kwon and Nick Platias. I'll give it a read once the translation is complete and will share interesting findings.pic.twitter.com/GKep7rQqm0

Update: Korean tax officials have released a statement confirming my initial deduction that Kernel Labs is being used for laundering/evasion - they disclosed that they fined TFL for tax evasion last year due to suspicious transactions with Kernel Labs.

God damn it, I wish I never touched this scam with my life savings. Still in shock mode.
