<p class="is-style-lead">The co-founders of the collapsed crypto hedge fund, Three Arrows Capital (3AC), are committed to donating funds citing “good karma.” Some of their future earnings from their latest crypto venture will go to creditors who suffered losses during the fund’s collapse in 2022.</p> 
<p>During a recent Twitter Spaces session hosted by IBC Group CEO Mario Nafwal, Kyle Davies, one of the co-founders, revealed their plan to allocate a portion of the future earnings from OPNX to assist the affected creditors. This philanthropic initiative stands apart from the ongoing liquidation proceedings and aims to provide additional support to those who lost funds.</p>

<p>Davies reiterated the co-founders’ strong belief in karma and expressed their intention to supplement the recoveries achieved through the formal liquidation process. He noted that several creditors have already been made whole and acknowledged that those who prefer not to engage with them would have that option.</p> 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 <p>“We firmly believe that by doing good and offering creditors a chance to recover more, we can create a positive impact. If we falter and they prosper, then that’s great. It’s about good karma or whatever you choose to call it.”</p> <cite>Kyle Davies, 3AC’s co-founder</cite>

<p>The co-founders’ announcement comes <a href="https://crypto.news/dubai-crypto-regulator-sends-reprimand-letter-to-opnx-founders/">amid scrutiny</a> over their involvement in a new crypto exchange, OPNX, <a href="https://crypto.news/post-ftx-3ac-connected-opnx-exchange-goes-live/">launched</a> on April 4.</p> 
<p>Critics within the crypto community have raised concerns about the duo appearing to evade responsibility for the collapse of their previous hedge fund while pursuing a new venture from the picturesque beaches of Bali.</p> 
<p>Davies, however, emphasized that their new entrepreneurial journey had a direct connection to the creditors, who would ultimately benefit from their latest undertaking.</p>

<p>Three Arrows Capital filed for <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-three-arrows-capital-bankruptcy/">Chapter 15 bankruptcy</a> protection on July 1, 2022.
