Should have gone to Transnistria.

He was arrested at the airport, it is unclear if he was trying to enter or leave Montenegro. I can imagine he was trying to go somewhere else.

It's not exactly a big airport, not a lot of flights: https://montenegroairports.com/en/podgorica-airport/

His last known whereabouts were in Serbia, and Belgrade - Podgorica have about five flights per day both ways.

Amazing that it took this long to find and arrest him.

Ruja Ignatova is also suspected of hiding in Montenegro, she is behind the OneCoin ponzi scheme and has successfully been on the run for 5 years now. It appears that Do Kwon did a very rookie mistake by believing he could take a plane at the airport like every one else.

saw this from a couple of days ago - https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/bulgarian-woman-charged...

How is that a rookie mistake, it’s total idiocy

If he flew from Serbia to Montenegro it would have just been completely dumb, crossing the land border would have been much safer for him. I suspect he was trying to leave for somewhere very far away but his Passport did not fool the airport staff

Of course he’d be in Montenegro, a place with so much corruption it’s practically out in the open. Rot in Prison, Do Kwon.

Kwon was arrested by Montenegrin police.

Not arguing for or against Montenegrin corruption. Just saying that this incident doesn't contribute to the corruption theory.
