Nonfungible tokens (NFTs) belonging to the bankrupt hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC) will be sold by its liquidators Teneo, according to a recent announcement.
In a notice dated Feb. 22, joint liquidator Christopher Farmer announced that the liquidators intend to begin the sales of NFTs that belong to 3AC. The announcement highlighted that the sale would be done to “realize the value of the NFTs for the purposes of the liquidation.” According to the announcement, the sales will begin 28 days after the notice.
The liquidators clarified within the announcement that it will not include the list of NFTs informally dubbed the “Starry Night Portfolio.” On Oct. 5, 2022, 300 NFTs from 3AC subsidiary Starry Night Capital were moved as part of 3AC’s bankruptcy proceedings. The liquidators highlighted that these NFTs are currently subject to an application before the supreme court in the British Virgin Islands.
NFTs previously collected by Starry Night Capital are moving to a Gnosis Safe address.

In the midst of the 3AC bankruptcy process, community members have repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction on social media over the actions of the 3AC team. On Jan. 3, 3AC founder Su Zhu was called out on Twitter when he accused the Digital Currency Group (DCG) of conspiring with the FTX exchange to attack Terra. Zhu’s efforts to call out DCG and FTX backfired, with community members urging him to focus on his own misdeeds.

On Feb. 10, crypto community members went after the newly-launched exchange backed by 3AC and Coinflex. Community members were enraged by the launch, with some swearing never to trade in the exchange and bully those that do.
