GTX — 3AC Founders Plan To Profit From The Victims of FTX

Disgraced Three Arrows Capital founders Su Zhu and Kyle Davies are pitching investors on a new distressed debt marketplace called GTX.

Three Arrows Capital also known as 3AC was once the darling hedge fund of the crypto space and had more than 10 billion in assets under management. However behind the scenes, the founders effectively gambled their assets on risky trades and the cascade of liquidations triggered by the collapse of Terra Luna left the hedge fund insolvent and unable to repay investors. 3AC was then ordered to liquidate by a court in the British Virgin Islands and the founders fled their HQ in Singapore likely to escape criminal charges.

The name of their new venture is only one letter off from FTX and that is not a coincidence as GTX aims to provide a public marketplace for the crypto claims market consisting of the myriad of bankruptcies the crypto space has seen over the last year.

Building a distressed debt marketplace is ironic as Three Arrows Capital was directly responsible for a number of those bankruptcies as the hedge fund operated more akin to a degen staking firm and its founders are still undergoing bankruptcy proceedings themselves.

  • Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.
