Evidence that Do Kwon ust printing led to collapse of ust/luna

this is the ust printer address Terra Finder
you can see the transactions in april where it was furiously swapping luna to ust >100m ust per day, accounting for almost all the daily luna burn.

this printed ust was used to buy up btc but can you see how dumb this idea is? print ust to buy btc to back ust. all along I have thought they have sold luna/ust to buy btc but instead they have printed ust. this created huge risk in the system as 3.5b/18b (20%) was looking for an exit, far larger than current liquidity - daily redemption with little spread is only 200m, 3pool on ethereum is only 700m.

LFG $10 billion plan was either a fraud or a really dumb idea. Do Kwon and his team needs to take responsibility, own up the mistake and lead the path forward!

I was thinking of this as being the reason… thanks for sharing the details. It was no coincidence that right after BTC purchase the depeg started.
