Three Arrows Capital Liquidators Hope to Recover $1.3B
SponsoredLiquidators in the Three Arrows Capital bankruptcy case are hoping to recover $1.3 billion from co-founders Su Zhu and Kyle Davies. The creditors of the hedge fund discussed the matter with the liquidators on June 27. Lawyers for the co-founders have not commented on the matter yet.
The liquidators have also stated that the co-founders are not cooperating with the investigation. In May and June 2022, Zhu and Davies were accused of taking hefty leverage following the crash of the Terra ecosystem. The liquidators state that the hedge fund was already insolvent at that point.
Despite the major crash that Three Arrows Capital has experienced, the founders have continued to operate in the market. They have launched a new VC fund called 3AC Ventures, which partnered with Open Exchange (OPNX). The latter is a platform for trading claims against bankrupt crypto firms.
