| 0:00.0 | Hi, all. |
| 0:01.0 | Ever since Tara Luna collapsed in the spring, there have been a number of questions about |
| 0:05.0 | what happened exactly, and how much culpability Tara Form Labs co-founder Do Kwan has. |
| 0:10.9 | Interest in his case ratcheted up in September when South Korea issued a warrant for his arrest. |
| 0:16.2 | Do at the time did not turn himself in, and the former Singapore resident was reported |
| 0:20.7 | to no longer be in the city-state. |
| 0:23.1 | Even Interpol may now be on the hunt for him. |
| 0:25.7 | I had assumed Do wouldn't talk to the media due to his court case, but he surprised |

| 1:05.9 | the interview I tried to push back if I felt he hadn't answered my question. |
| 1:10.5 | As Do himself said in the interview, transparency and information are important, and I hope |
| 1:15.2 | that this interview helps in the effort to understand exactly what happened with Tara Luna. |
| 1:20.4 | Now here's my conversation with Do. |
| 1:26.6 | Hi everyone, welcome to Unchained, your no hype resource for all things crypto. |
