3AC's liquidator Teneo said in February it intended to sell the NFTs acquired from Su Zhu and Kyle Davies' firm.
Liquidators Teneo seized US$35.6 million from 3AC bank accounts in Singapore, marking the largest amount of money obtained since the hedge fund’s collapse.
According to a <a href="https://www.blockhead.co/content/files/115/312810/126022478737.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">court hearing</a>, liquidators also recovered US$2.8 million from forced redemptions of investments and an unspecified number of crypto tokens and NFTs.
Liquidators called out Davies and Zhu for being uncooperative, stating the pair had been “active and responsive to comments via Twitter” but “repeatedly failed to engage” with liquidators.

In December, Davies was openly critical of Teneo. “Unfortunately our Liquidators seem to refuse to engage us constructively,” he tweeted.
“After months, cash in a bank account, minimal asset sales, there have still been no disbursements to creditors,” Davies added. “Let us speak openly with all creditors to find a better way forward.”

Attached to the tweet was an image containing five brief paragraphs expanding on criticism of the liquidators. In the text, Davies accused liquidators of being “intent on making threats against us, and spending a lot of time, and money on continuing Court proceedings in a number of jurisdictions.”
