Founders of Three Arrows Capital (3AC), a ‘crypto’ hedge fund, appeared to have gone missing after filing for bankruptcy.
According to the liquidators’ lawyers, co-founders Su Zhu and Kyle Davies’s physical whereabouts were unknown ahead of a hearing scheduled on Tuesday morning to discuss the action items for the liquidation process. This comes after creditors of 3AC have gone after the company to recover their assets.
Zhu resurfaced on Twitter the same day tweeting, “Our good faith to cooperate with the liquidators was met with baiting.” A document filed in court last week alleges that the founders have not started to cooperate in any meaningful manner with the liquidation process. The identity of liquidators remains anonymous after a court request.
Sadly, our good faith to cooperate with the Liquidators was met with baiting. Hope that they did exercise good faith wrt the StarkWare token warrants. pic.twitter.com/CF73xI8r6n
