Operation at Changi Airport: Detainment of 3AC’s Su Zhu, Associate Kyle Davies Remains at Large
Teneo, responsible for overseeing the liquidation process of Three Arrows Capital, has reported the apprehension and subsequent four-month incarceration of co-founder Su Zhu. Meanwhile, his associate, Kyle Davies, is still evading authorities, although Teneo has confirmed that he will face an identical penalty.
Zhu allegedly attempted to flee Singapore but was intercepted at Changi Airport, located approximately 25 miles to the east of Singapore’s Downtown Core. The Singaporean court ruled that both Zhu and Davies had been uncooperative in the liquidation procedure, an issue that had been previously reported by the media several months prior to their apprehensions.
The defunct Singapore-based cryptocurrency hedge fund, at its peak, managed assets exceeding $10 billion. However, a combination of high-risk trading strategies, the collapse of Terra, and a sharp decline in cryptocurrency values led to the dissolution of the firm’s assets. Consequently, Three Arrows Capital declared bankruptcy and was ordered to undergo liquidation by a British Virgin Islands court on June 27, 2022.
Squawk Box reported that Kyle Davies, the co-founder of Three Arrows Capital, was questioned about his whereabouts in Bali, as Indonesia is one of seven countries that does not have an extradition agreement with the United States. While this interview took place in November 2022, Davies is believed to still be residing in Bali.
