Liquidators at bankrupt cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital are seeking to recover US$1.3 billion from the co-founders, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters on Tuesday, an amount that reflects losses they allegedly racked up before the firm collapsed last year.
Zhu and Davies are accused of causing Three Arrows to take on significant leverage between May and June 2022 after the hedge fund suffered big losses on Luna tokens and other investments, the person said. Three Arrows was the first major crypto firm to go bankrupt in 2022, brought down by the collapse of cryptocurrencies Luna and TerraUSD in May. It filed for bankruptcy in the British Virgin Islands in late June.
