TerraUSD Price (UST) $0.05468

So, 95% of the value is gone.

Can anyone explain how the fork, airdrop, and other gyrations the Terra/USD promoter is proposing will work, and where any actual money comes from?

Terraform has $3B (ish, stores as Bitcoin) that they could use to try to buy back faith in their coin.

Problem is, best they can do is reboot with a Bitcoin-collateralized coin. The whole Terra/Luna/Anchor "algorithmic stablecoin" had been exposed as a fraud or a fantasy, so such smaller fraction of suckers and scammers will buy in to that again, and everyone else might buy in to a Bitcoin backed stablecoin, but there's not much profit in that for Terraform, and the users have no reason to choose it over a more reliably backed coin like Tether or USDC or DAI.

What happened? Last I heard they transferred it to gemini but people weren't sure whether they actually sold it or not.

LFG only said "a counterparty". https://twitter.com/LFG_org/status/1526126703046582272?ref_s...

They transfered 52,189 BTC between May 7th (When UST dipped to $0.9978, indicating the algo peg was under stress) and the 10th, and another 33,206 when UST hit $0.75. After the insiders were paid off, Terra was free to go to zero.

Presumably we'll only find out what actually happened when Do Kwon is in jail and people start testifying against each other in return for lighter sentences.
