Three Arrows Founders’ Locations Unknown As Court ‘Manhunt’ Begins
Unconventional actions are being taken by the liquidators of the collapsed crypto hedge firm Three Arrows Capital to compel the fund’s founders into complying with the law’s due process.
After a British Virgin Islands court apparently placed the company into liquidation at the end of June, the Singapore-based firm filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy in a federal bankruptcy court in the Southern District of New York in July.
Now, based on court documents, as traditional methods of service have failed, the court-appointed liquidators from the consultancy firm Teneo and its attorneys have asked a US judge to allow them to serve subpoenas on 3AC founders Su Zhu and Kyle Davies via their social media accounts and email addresses, Forkast and other news outlets reported, Tuesday.

Three Arrows Founders Speak Out After Hiding For Weeks Because Of Death Threats
The disgraced founders of Three Arrows Capital spoke comprehensively about the catastrophic failure of their once-flying hedge fund after five weeks of hiding out. They said that they had received threats to their lives, which is why they remained under the radar.
Bloomberg reported on Friday that Su Zhu and Kyle Davies, both 35 years old, asserted that Three Arrows’ margin calls on loans that should never have been made because of their botched crypto investment are now descending.
Zhu and Davies blame the sudden downfall of Three Arrows to their wildly ambitious assumptions, with Zhu stating that they set themselves for a market “that never materialized.”
Three Arrows Capital Founders Nowhere To Be Found, Liquidators Say
The founders of Three Arrows Capital are nowhere to be found, a filing by advisory firm Teneo, which is expected to liquidate the remaining assets of the embattled cryptocurrency hedge fund, disclosed.
Late in June, Three Arrows filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy in the British Virgin Islands as a result of a severe selloff in digital currencies.
The action was intended to shield foreign firms’ assets from US creditors. Three Arrows, co-founded by Kyle Davies and Zhu Su, went bankrupt after defaulting on a $ 670 million loan granted by crypto broker Voyager Digital, which has also now declared bankruptcy.
