Helium Sees 70% Recover Rally And Angry Terra Investors Hire Law Firm

---

Although Bitcoin is barely moving these past few days it seems (in the past week, Bitcoin has changed 1% at the time of writing), there is still plenty of action in the rest of the cryptosphere.

Several altcoins like Chainlink and Helium experienced so-called recovery rallies as the market steadies again and South Korean police launched a criminal probe into Terraform labs, the company behind the failed Terra Luna coins.

Music without smartphones

Shawn Fanning, the more technological part of the dynamic duo Fanning-Parker who together founded Napster in the 1990s (think Spotify or Apple Music before smartphones), launched several technology companies in the 21st century already.

One of the better known was is Helium (HNT), a long-fi network that allows users to install their own network routers, called the Helium hotspot, hoping to connect the Internet of Things (IoT) devices to each other.

What are your thoughts on the Helium HNT pivot to 5g?

If you don’t know, previously, helium was a network that you mined with radio waves, refreshing take on traditional crypto mining. pic.twitter.com/InrM41sdGH

The connected Helium coin exploded some 50% in November last year when it announced impressive user growth, but has since fallen back as Bitcoin and tech stocks dropped in the first half of 2022.

Now, it is seeing a so-called recover rally of 70% in the past few weeks.

Charges of fraud

South Korean authorities have launched a full investigation against Terra’s developers after many investors watched in horror last month when Terra’s stablecoin lost its peg and dropped some 99% in the course of one week.

Several Korean investors who lost fortunes have now hired law firm LKB & Partners to file charges of fraud and financial regulations violations.

South Korean police are currently investigating a Terraform Labs employee who allegedly stole bitcoin from Terra’s company last May. Police said it was personal embezzlement and it was not certain whether it was related to Terra founder Do Kwon. https://t.co/dHb70kdNkh

The Financial Times also reported yesterday that the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency launched a probe:

Into allegations that an employee of Terraform Labs embezzled an undisclosed amount of the company’s bitcoin holdings.
