SEOUL (Bloomberg): South Korean entrepreneur Do Kwon, whose collapsed Terraform Labs cryptocurrency ecosystem sparked a meltdown in digital assets, faces being forced to return to South Korea after officials there sought to have his passport revoked.

A request has been passed to the nation's Foreign Ministry to scrap the travel document, the prosecutor's office said on Thursday. If the ministry accedes, Kwon - who prosecutors have said is in Singapore - in theory would have to return to Seoul within 14 days after receiving the notice of revocation.
