South Korea issued a publicly available notice on Wednesday to wanted man and Terraform Labs founder Do Kwon, demanding he return his passport.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs disclosure [PDF] said that officials were unable to serve the notice to Kwon so had confirmed on its website that it was invalidating his passport and requesting its return within 14 days.

Kwon is under an Interpol red notice, an order for international law enforcement to find and arrest a wanted man.

In mid-September, South Korea issued a warrant for his arrest, alleging he violated the nation's capital market law.

Arrest warrant issued for Do Kwon - the man blamed for 'crypto winter'.

Although his whereabouts remain unknown, Kwon has also denied that he is "On the run."
