After bankruptcy: are the 3AC bosses on the run?

 


The drama surrounding Three Arrow Capital (3AC for short) takes a new turn. The two founders of one of the largest hedge funds in the crypto industry are nowhere to be found after their company went bankrupt. This is reported by Bloomberg .


A week ago, 3AC officially declared bankruptcy . According to court documents, 3AC was managing $10 billion worth of cryptocurrencies earlier this year. The company is now insolvent and has filed for bankruptcy. The authorities in Singapore and the USA are investigating the two founders , Kyle Davies and Zhu Su.


3AC's offices have been deserted since May 2022

It is questionable whether the two founders were even present at the first hearing in Singapore. According to media reports , they participated via zoom, with audio and video switched off. Only her lawyers answered questions from the court. The court's liquidators were unable to enter the company's locked offices in Singapore. According to neighbors, they have been orphaned since the end of May. Reuters found a stack of old and unopened mail outside the door.


The liquidators fear that the founders want to move their remaining assets, crypto like cash. According to media reports, there are already initial signs of this: one of the founders is said to be selling real estate . And the once $100 million collection of Starry Nights NFTs has thus been transferred to a new wallet, for unknown reasons (its current value: $5 million).

The hedge fund bled after the Terra crash

The allegations against 3AC are joined by an opaque network of subsidiaries. They are registered in tax havens such as the Cayman Islands. Research by  Coindesk  shows: 3AC allegedly operated its own trading desk with Tai Ping Shan Capital (TPS) on the Virgin Islands. The spicy thing: Despite the insolvency proceedings, TPS Capital apparently continues to operate.


3AC is one of several major crypto companies that went bust in the wake of the market crash. Some crypto exchanges like Celsius are still struggling with bankruptcy. In some cases, they have stopped paying out customers .


According to unconfirmed reports, 3AC speculated with massively leveraged bets. For example, she had invested billions in Terra. Within a week, the ecosystem crashed by 99 percent . A court case is pending in South Korea against the founder, Do Kwon, on charges including fraud.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
