Odaily reports, Singapore police have filed six charges of fraud against Zhu Juntao, the former CEO of the defunct crypto lending platform Hodlnaut. The charges allege that during the TerraUSD collapse in 2022, he instructed employees to issue false statements, misleading users to believe that Hodlnaut had no direct exposure to TerraUSD and had not suffered any losses from the incident. According to the prosecutor, the false information was published on Hodlnaut's Telegram channel, customer emails, and Zhu's own X (formerly Twitter) account. Under Singapore law, if convicted, Zhu faces a maximum of up to 20 years in prison, a fine, or both for each charge. (CoinDesk)
