After visiting the listed address and learning the company didn't have a real presence there, the broadcaster declared that the subsidiary was an inactive paper corporation. Authorities claim to have traced cash flows totaling 6 billion Korean won (about 4.5 million dollars) and 12 billion won (roughly 9 million dollars) that originated in Singapore and traveled through the British Virgin Islands before arriving at FLEXE in South Korea and other Terra affiliates.
A former Terraform Labs employee claimed FLEXE caused problems in a specific tax examination on the company last year. KBS stated the subsidiary was used as a route to acquire payments from liquidated cryptocurrencies. By publication, neither Terraform Labs nor Kwon had responded to the media. According to local media reports from as early as February, Terraform Labs was not actively trying to hide the existence of FLEXE.
